Default Advantage to more than one layer sealant?

Hi guys
Is there any advantage (extra protection? extra shine?) to applying more than one layer of sealant such as Meguiar's NXT Tech, or am I just wasting product and my time?
And assuming more than one layer can be applied, how long should each layer be allowed to sit before applying another?

Thanks!

Usually with a synthetic protectant, the wait time is 12 hours between coats. To give the first coat ample time to Cure.

Ideally you should wait 12-24 hours between applications of any wax or sealant to allow for cure time. Anything over 3 layers is overkill. I usually do 2 layers to ensure even coverage.
