Waxing the bike

[zeus661]

Wondering if anyone knows if it is beneficial to apply wax multiple times? And I mean wax on, wax off then repeat several times. Are multiple coats better? More protection? Thanks

Depending what you use, you may only gain more scratches. cueman

Multiple coats on my 2013 B have improved the shine and reduced the swirls in the paint with each additional layer. I know that the paint on our bikes has had it's issues. I believe that I have added layers of protection from the elements and it's much easier to keep clean.

Does waxing a painted automotive surface remove any wax that had been applied previously?

If the wax has been polished (or not) subsequent waxing builds up to a really good shine in my experience. I always make sure I do a good job. I don't think it removes it.At some point we used to use Simonize to remove wax and dirt but that would be after years...
