I used Blitz for a long time. A better than average Carnuba -- P21 is better (IMHO) and not overly expensive. Try it over Klass, Glanz, or Zaino.

However, Carnuba based products do not layer in the sense that synthetic/polymers do. The wax cannot permanently bond with itself like polymers do. The layer will wash off the first wash (if it makes it past the buffing.) The appearance of layering is usually just better coverage so ... two coats looks better because you get better overall coverage, no missed areas thin areas etc.

IMO carnuba almost always looks better than a synth/poly wax intially but is not as durable -- the real advantage of a Synth on a driver.
