Probably not. If you had a darker colored vehicle, it might make it a little darker.............. but you won't notice that on white. Keep in mind, that it won't "hurt" to put another coat on, but it's really just for your own satisfaction. Don't go putting too many coats of carnauba on close together, or it will get wax "buildup", and look smeary! After 2 or 3 washes, you can probably add another coat.

Try Colonite Wax(spelled wrong) It is a auto marine wax that last for up to 6 months.It is kinda oily so please make sure that you wax in the shade

I don't necessarily disagree with what Boss has said but, I will offer a slight rebuttal...

I do notice a considerable difference from 2 coats of #26 to 4 coats of #26.

Recently, I started with Meguiar' Premium Paint Protection (PPP). Allowed it to cure over a three or four day period and then started to build #26. After about two weeks, I had about 4 coats(2 coats/day X two weekends) on the truck (dark colored - Chestnut Brown) and I can definately attest that the color was darker, shinier, and definately deeper. I hesitate to go another coat for a while as it is difficult to layer a carnauba wax without a 'smear' effect but, for the time being, I'm very pleased with the 4 coats of #26 over the PPP.

Yep, I would tend to agree that the additional coats on a darker colored vehicle would tend to give a darker/deeper appearance. The silicone oils in the #26 would certainly have a tendency to do that.

If you have any problems with Meguiars let me know and perhaps I could point you in Znother direction. This product I speak of has one of Z best shines, and Z best protection money can buy as well as very eaZy to put on and remove…

I don’t want to mention Z name here since this is a Meguiars thread but I do know Z way to find it…

Actually you are correct. You have been doing a fine job in the Z threads. Just wanted to insure you were on top of your game...
