ok, heres what i have on my car now:

a layer of all in one

1 layer of meg`s tech wax



tomorrow i`m going to put on another layer of tech wax. then i want to put a carnuba wax on top of that. what can i use?

i want to top it with a carnuba wax because the tech wax hides swirls really well, i`m guessing a carnuba will help those fillers stay in place and hide the swirls.



i have some turtlewax ultra gloss paste...is that ok to use as a final carnuba topper?

if not, what can i pick up at autozone that will do the trick.

thanks guys



p.s.- does anyone else just want to take a big bite out of the megs tech wax can? it smells so good!

You can use any wax without cleaners to top NXT. I`m not too familiar with OTC waxes anymore.



BTW NXT has light cleaners, so getting more than one layer of it is not likely.

I`ve topped it with S100 in the past.

#26 paste would be a nice topper. It`s pure wax.

The one time I used NXT I also topped it with P21s and IMO it looked pretty good. Nice shine but not as deep a look as I was hoping for

I not 100% sure of this, but I think that the Turttle wax you have has cleaners in it that will remove your NXT. Since your requirement is something you can buy at Pepboys/Autozone I would suggest Meg #26, Mothers Top Coat, or Mother California Gold Pure wax. All of thoes don`t have cleaners. #26 works best on dark colors. Top Coat is nice on all colors, but it is a partial synthetic. Cal Gold is probably better on lighter colors.
