NXT Application method.

I read a thread the other day about how someone from Meguiars preferred to apply NXT wax with a PC and a light polishing pad (maybe a white pad?) rather than a finishing pad. Been searching all morning for that thread again (here as well as at MOL) but I can't seem to find it. Anyone know what the reasoning behind using a polishing pad would be? swirl removal or what?

:nervous:



I'm probably going to be doing a quick wash and wax for a friend who won't want to take the time to polish everything and was hoping maybe NXT on a white pad might remove a few swirls while leaving some protection.



Thanks

I've been doing the same thing lately...white polishing pad..but I've been using Mother's Reflections. I like it alot!
 
Have you noticed anything happening with the swirls/defects or is the application just easier?
 
It wont' fix any defects, it will just fill them in so you can't see them. If you just want a quickie "that looks good" wash and wax, then I'd apply some NXT with a PC. For one thing it's a pretty fast applicaiton with a PC. A PC also helps apply the layer really thin so it's easy to remove.



NXT is so mild that the only thing doing the actual work is the pad. The NXT would merely be a "lubricant". It won't be a bad solution for you if your buddy doesn;t want to hang around too long. It might last him a couple weeks depending on the weather and if washes it much.

Beautiful, that's exactly what I wanted to know. A quickie "that looks good" is exactly what they are looking for. Hopefully I'll be able to try out an NXT coat with a polishing pad, then do the interior and finish with another NXT coat using a finishing pad (just for even coverage), but it will mostly depend on how much time they want to put in to it.
