    Hello everyone! I am tackling a job tomorrow for a friend`s husband that has been in the hosptial for several weeks and she wants her husband to come home to a nice detailed Chevy Avalanche (burgundy colored w-light to moderate correction needed).



    I`ve seen the vehicle and have my plan down with all the wash/clay/polish etc...I`m struggling though on what I can do after polishing to get the best look possible with what I`ve got in my supplies now. I`d love to here some suggestions. Just wish I had something a little more boutique to compliment all the effort I`m gonna put in with polishing.



    Correction to be done via PC and 2 step Menzerna (IP/FP). I also have some DG#101 but didn`t plan on using it.



    IPA wipe - yes/no?



    Choices of sealant/LSP

    Deep Crystal Carnauba

    Meg`s Gold Class Liquid Wax

    NXT 2.0 Liquid

    Mothers Cleaner Carnauba

    Meg`s Cleaner Wax

    If you`re going solely on looks and not worried about durability I would shoot for the NXT.



    You don`t need a cleaner wax after a two step polishing for sure and carnuaba`s are nice but will be very short lived.

    I don`t think you need an IPA wipe before any of those LSP`s. The first three would be my preference (rather than the cleaner waxes), and it`s probably a tossup between the three...if I had to choose, I think I`d try the NXT (not that I`ve used the 2.0).

    yeah, lately NXT 2.0 has been my go to (with all the FINE choices I have...LOL) it`s so darn easy to work with, smells great, and I just want to use it up before I order something better.

    yup, if you can put two coats of nxt 2.0 in time, that would be perfect



    for me, nxt 2.0 is like the bread and butter of `cheap` or affordable waxes



    easy application, smells nice and after i buff it, i go over it quickly with meg`s ultimate quick detailer which is like icing on a cake



    good luck and have fun

    yes, i too hit it with the UQD. Love that stuff too. Do I need to wait in between coats with this stuff? At this point in the day I will be 8 hours into this thing and probably ready to quit.

    umm i am not sure if you need to wait since its a quick detailer, i usually buff the wax and do my clean up and then hit it with some UQD right before i show my client my work.



    which is usually like 30 min or so from the time i buffed the wax off

    Definitely NXTv2 and that will give better durability than the others on your list. Two thin coats will do nicely.
