How do you know if you can top xyz with abc?

I've seen people ask the question and people respond with yes or no and a short why. Like no that product has fillers or abrasives or no that causes streaking or yes but wait 24hrs. There seems to be a lot of different reasons why one can or can not cover one product with another.

Just wondering what you guys use to know if a product has the properties that make it not work as a topper.

Thanks...
 
paint sealants (sythetic waxes) = can be topped with carnuaba's
carnuabas = cannot be topped with sealants
sealants with cleaners = can be topped with pure sealants
sealants = cannot be topped with sealants w/ cleaners

abrasives = will mechanically or abrasively remove product
chemical cleaners = chemically strip or remove previous products
glazes = fillers meant hide flaws, read description some are abrasive polishes
 
Thanks... that is most helpful.

Do some carnuabas have cleaners are well?
 
I just ask Killr and do tons of reading various posts, both good and bad, then try to weed out any useful information, then ask Killr!
 
How long do waxes stay good? Do they have a shelf life? And is the life affected if they stay outside in a shed vs inside on a shelf?
 
Umm, I think I read a long time ago they will last easily 2-3 years, but have heard indefinite. If you live in a cold winter climate, bring them inside before it starts to freeze and if it is extremely hot or humid, keep them in fridge.
I hope someone will know these answers for sure, like temp range to bring inside or fridge , and if shelf life is indefinite.
 
it would likely be determined greater by air/atmosphere being exposed to the wax. A sealed can, will in all likelyhood last for many years. Open the same can and allow to sit and breathe, and it will likely dryout quite quickly.
