845 IW durability issues?

[mc01ta]

First off let me say I love the ease of use and cost. I recently detailed my 2001 Black Trans Am with wash, clay, IP, FPII, AIO and then 845 to seal. After one NXT wash, the finish felt dull. Unless NXT car wash strips wax, I am having issues with 845's durability/slickness. the 845 was shook to death and was def mixed. I let it sit for a few then removed with microfiber. It initially looked great but i'm having diff. results than others have had. I recently detailed a G35 with 845 and owner said same issue. What gives? Should I go back to my Eagle One Red colored car wash soap instead of NXT? I want a wash that won't strip and a sealant that will last more than 2 weeks.

My experience with #845 is that it will lose considerable slickness after the first wash, but it is still there protecting. I don't think the NXT wash would have a very big effect on the durability of the wax. I've used a variety of OTC washes, and none have really had an effect on #845.



I think the biggest question to ask, is the wax still beading like crazy?



Generally a QD will bring back alot of slickness to the paint. My personal favorite at the moment is Turtle Wax Ultra Gloss Detailer.
