Ok, so I just ordered SFX-1, SFX-2, and SFX-3 along with Natty's Blue and a PC with pads. Now I heard that a sealant should be used after the SFX-3 and before Natty's Blue. I have liquid NXT and Liquid Glass, both I think are sealants, would one of these work before the Natty's. Let me know. Any other tips would be great! Thanks
 
You don't HAVE to use a sealant before your Natty's. Some sealants last longer than some waxes, it all depends on where you live, how you store the car, etc., as to whether you want/need to use both. Once upon a time, there were no sealants and everybody just waxed.
 
Welcome. You do not need to use a sealant. That is a matter of personal choice. Many like to use a sealant under their carnuba as it forms a good base for something like natty's blue. I would use something like AIO as a base because it has cleaners and provides a great surface for the LSP. NXT has some slight cleaners and should be a good base for the Blue, I have just not tried it yet.

Well I live on Long Island and the car is stored outside, I'll probably end up waxing it one or two more times before the winter comes. I want the car to look its best (its a black 2000 Mustang GT vert), but at the same time I really dont wanna order another item, pay shipping and wait for it. What is AIO and is it something I can get local? Also, why would I wanna use a sealant with cleaners, doesnt that defeat the purpose of using the SFX-1, SFX-2 and SFX-3 polishers? Just curious. Thanks again.
 
I don't think you would be able to get AIO locally. Put a couple of coats down of NXT (after your SFX polishing), and then layer the Natty's on top. I don't think it will take you all the way through the winter, but if you put some fresh Natty's on in late October/early Nov., you might make it thru till a warm day in Feb.
