'Coats' of Wax

OK, dumb question time...

Disclaimer - I've never been very serious about maintaining the exterior of my vehicles in the past. Now that I have my MINI though, I'm being much better about washing and waxing, etc. But I've been reading this forum and my head is about to EXPLODE!

What is the rule of thumb on multiple "coats" of wax? I'm not dealing with any of this fancy schmancy stuff like Zaino or anything like that. I have Meguiars NXT, which seems like it's pretty good from what I've read on here (just happened to have it from before for the wife's car). How long can/should you wait to put on a 2nd or multiple coat? Can you do it immediately after buffing out the first one? Wait a day, a week, or what? How many coats is enough or good? If you put on a coat is it OK to put another coat a week later?

Thanks for the help ahead of time.
