haha 3 times a week is a bit over the top  :grin:

If you apply 2 layers of SN 24 hours a apart that would do you for a good 3 months easy. Nothing stopping you adding maybe one more layer a week later though. I really wouldn't go for more than 3 layers, you would just be wasting wax, it won't actually add anything as it will just be replacing what is already there.

I love the enthusiasm though  :wink:

Aaah ok :grin:

I just wanted to see clouds and stuff if i looked into the paint and thought that might help :grin:

Would polishing it silly amounts THEN waxing help achieve this? :evil:

Don't over do any step. Polishing will make a huge difference to the finish, and then the glaze on top will give you a great finish  :smiley:

just to add, im currently seeing just over 5 months good durabilty from 2 layers of supernatural on the wifes bmw and its still beading after washing, the key is very good prep and good maintenance washing, if you slack on the prep your lsp doesnt stand a chance.
these http://www.waxamomo.co.uk/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=581&idcategory=11 or the yellow disc applicators are very good for applying SN.
