Smearing On Purple

I have been having a problem with waxing my Phantom purple XR6. I have been a long time user of Meguairs products and currently use their NXT liquid wax. When I do the car at home I use my old Marlows orbital polisher and it all comes up good. But I am lazy and have other things to do on the weekends. Lately, with the weather being fine I have been enjoying going outside the office at lunch time and cleaning my car with the Meg's waterless wash and then waxing or even claying, polishing then waxing it.
The problem that I am having is that no matter what I do, I can't get the NXT to wipe off without smearing. It always looks blotchy. If I go over it again with a light spray of waterless wash or QD and rub really hard I can get rid of most of it but that is a PITA.

Do you have any suggestions for an alternative product that will give me the long protection that NXT does, can be applied in sunshine and DOESN'T leave blotches?
The temptation at the moment is to either try NXT paste wax or go back to Meg's #26 Hi Tech Wax which always gave such a great look, especially on darker colours but this doesn't protect as long and I get lazy over winter.

Thanks,

Re: Smearing On Purple

are you more for looks or durability? Use a sealant. They last longer such as some blackfire wet diamond.
