I currently have Hard Candy and thinking of buying Rainforest Rub, the soft counterpart to Hard Candy.
Do you think protection/depth/gloss will dramatically increase if purchased?
Opinions please

I'm not trying to compare them. I'm thinking of layering them Hard on bottom, soft on Top.
I know what to use, and how to do it...just trying to justify the money

did you read what i posted.
The Makers of DODO juice suggest using a hard and then a soft.
they said the only reason for both types was that its for applying one by bare hands and the other with an applicator.
there isnt much benefit to shine or anything.
try using the Hard PRO versions. they have other stuff in them to increase durability.
There is no reason not to use both, but its not really necessary. I would just apply one coat and then wait for a while and apply another. the only reason they say to layer soft on top of hard is because it can be difficult to apply an even coat.
if you know what to use and how to do it. why are you asking us? because the link i posted should give you all the answers you need.

Because I've came to the point where my car is completely corrected and I'm searching for more ways to make the paint pop. Sorry for asking a question in the detailing forum.
I know how it should be applied, I'm asking if it's reasonable and any better than just Hard...which I already own

Once again, sorry for doing research, knowing how to apply it, and asking an educated question to see if the benefits are worth it. Please....

Dude, I dont know what your problem is. i answered your exact question, twice now.
what part of that dont you get? sorry for insulting you by trying to offer some other advice.
I dont really understand why you are being so rude. I answered your questions and instead of reading and "researching" the link i supplied you. It would seem you skimmed through it learned nothing and then made some silly post here about how you know it all.
Good luck with getting your red to pop. I could tell you how to do so but I wouldn't want to insult your all knowing intelligence.
:rolleyes

There are two forms of wax, paste and liquid. They differ basically in the amount of solvents, oils and etc. Carnauba is diluted with solvents, when you apply a paste wax, the friction (heat) helps melt the wax and evaporate the solvents.
A liquid wax usually contains more volatile solvents that evaporate out when the wax is applied. The excess wax, left over lubricants, excess bonding agents, solvent residues and whatever else is left forms the "haze" that is buffed out to reveal the wax.
For a layered shine apply a paste wax and then allow hardening, and then apply a coating of liquid wax.
Most car care product chemists agree that when it comes to a wax formulation there is no advantage between pastes, creams or liquids. It has more to do with production cost and marketing than; its protection or surface gloss abilities.
Liquid or cream type waxes are easier to apply, although removal is about the same. /paste wax is just a thicker form of liquid wax. Just a different consistency, not necessarily even more or less solvents as some wax products use an emulsion to keep more liquid without adding solvents, which, in high concentrations could remove the underlying wax.
