NXT tech wax

[58fury]

Anyone here layer NXT then maybe top w a wax, S100 or PPG ect, just wondering the haze time in between nxt applications? id like to try NXTx2 then top w either S100 or PPG

if your going to top it 1 layer of NXT should be fine- a second layer of NXT might remove some of the first layer due to its slight cleaning ability

i`m wondering about this also...how long to let the wax `haze` can i wax the whole car with NXT before I wipe it off? or should i do one panel at a time?



I want to put a coat of NXT and follow by #26

[wannafbody]

NXT needs to haze for about 15 minutes-I`d top the following day after it has fully cured

I believe the bottle says to do the whole car and remove after 15 minutes. When I was using it, I would occasionally apply it in the evening and remove in the morning. It was still pretty easily removed with an MF after 8hrs+ of drying time.

Ive heard conflicting stories w NXT haze time, most of them have been longer haze time ie 1HR +, bottle just states "let dry to a haze" personally i let haze for 1HR or so, as for a topper of S100 or PPG, ill try and wait a day, otherwise ill just apply another hr or so after NXT has been buffed off?

i usually let it haze and sit for atleast 20 min. or so. Sometimes if the wax hasn`t fully dried it leaves some hazy marks after buffing.

Depends on temp and humidity for me....In the summer here in a closed garage I need to wait at least 30-45 minutes for streak free removal. ABout the same in the winter when it is really cold. In the spring time with warmer temps(68-75) and low humidity, 15 minutes is plenty.



FWIW, I would apply two thin coats back to back to ensure full coverage, wait 24 hours, then top with your carnauba.



TS looks great over NXT.

thanx for the tip guys!



i`m going to wash and clay the car. then polish with Meguiars Deep Crystal Polish step 1 and 2. follow by a coat of NXT Tech Wax, wait an hour, put on another coat. I`ll wait 24 hours until i top it off with Megs #26.



as you can tell i`m a newbie here...this is going to be my first full detail job.

Putting on a 2nd layer of NXT is a waste of time and product. It will remove the previous coat.



Lay down one coat. Wait, then top iwht #26

[pat00641]

I use NXT then coat with either 26 or S100

Both look great. I like the S100 a little better, it just takes a little bit more time than #26.



But both look good.

IMO, two applications ensures complete coverage, I do it with all lsp`s.

Not according to Meguiars. Although NXT has specialized cleaners, a second coat isn`t going to remove more product than it lays down.



I normally only apply one coat myself although 2 thin coats will make sure you don`t miss anything.

hmm...i`ll try one coat of NXT first. do i really need to wait 24 hours before i put on #26?
