Not enough that all you see is wax, just a coating on the entire thing. Go section by section, this is a time consuming process. Once you have an area completely coated in wax, use a blow dryer (do NOT use a heat gun, you can scorch the fabric and too much heat will make the wax do nasty things; just use a regular hair dryer on hot and hold it just close enough to the jacket to melt the wax, but not super close) and slowly pan it back and forth over the wax. You want the wax to first liquify, then keep the dryer blowing on the liquid wax until it vanishes; this means it's been absorbed by the fibers of the cotton. Keep moving on until all of the wax is no longer visible. Do each section of the jacket one by one until the entire thing is complete. Do your best to get behind buttons and in crevices, but you're not going to get perfect coverage of those areas; that's what the silicone is for.
You do not need to do a second layer of wax. If you apply too much wax, the fabric won't be able to absorb it all and you'll end up with stiff fabric and a nasty looking layer of melted wax on the outside. All you need is one light layer of wax over as much of the surface of the jacket as you can scrub the bar with.
