NXT Paste

Is FK1000P a good wax to use on top of Collinite 845? White Camry and Starfire pearl Lexus

I have Collinite 845 and Meg Ultimate Paste Wax - G18211.

Newbie here and still gathering information before my next detailing.

In the past, I would apply meg wax paste after a car wash and declare it as done which isn`t exactly the right way to detail a car.

Many seem to like FK1000 instead of Collinite 845. Both are technically sealants, so you wouldn`t top one with the other. Top a sealant with just a showier type wax- if you`re going to top. Topping a sealant with wax is purely a finesse thing. Not necessary if you don`t want, but it`s nice.

will I gain any benefits from apply Blackfire wet ice over fire on top collinite 845?

You will want to remove the 845 or wait until it has worn off before applying wet ice over fire.

If using FK1000P I see *zero* benefit from having another LSP as a "base" layer, and it just might (dunno for sure..) mess with the FK1000P`s bonding/durability.

I think 845 is decent enough (preferred their pre-VOC formula though), but I`d only use it as a base for one of their other waxes and, eh...I`d only combine LSPs if I had a very good, and specific reason to do so.

IMO it`s best to just find what you like and apply it as often as necessary.

Silento- IMO the FK1000P would simply be the *best* LSP for those colors...looks, protection, durability, whatever the goal it`d be perfect IMO. Only LSP I`d buy if I had those two cars. But honestly, I`d use up what you have now before spending money on anything else, and a bottle of 845 oughta last years (let alone the UPW that you also have).

Silento- What you have now could probably keep a few vehicles well-detailed for a decade or so IMO

Heh heh, for once I`m not telling somebody to "buy [whatever]".

Thanks Accumulator. That was a good chuckle.

Where are the wash buckets, grit guard and wash mitt?

I think a grit guard is way overblown, do you put your sponge all the way at the bottom of your bucket? The stuff that`s going to get on/in your sponge is going to happen no matter what if you move the bucket around at all, I try to keep my wash bucket still, I use a clean bucket and then spray my sponge out before returning it to the wash bucket. If any contaminants are floating, there`s nothing a grit guard is going to do to help that.

I also use proline GSs instead of an actual mitt. Easier to see things on the spong, and I`ve never noticed any marring doing all of the above.

My wife got me some NXT 2.0 paste wax since she knows I love the liquid version so much.
As previously noted, it is easier just squirting a blob of the liquid, but I can never tell any difference in the look or protection.
NXT 2.0 is one of my favorite`s for white.
