Does NXT tech get better by multiple layering like zaino?
How often can you apply NXT tech wax?

You can layer it all you want but each time you reapply it takes off most of the previous coat.

FYI: i remember reading somewhere that two layers of wax won't make much of a difference since the nature of NTX. It sorta strips the first one correct me if im wrong.
But i did NTX my car like 3 months ago. It is so awesome. Great results and so easy to use. My Gold class is going in the closet. Going to rewax when it gets a little warmer in chicago.

Well hmm.. I generally do 2 just to make sure I dont miss anything. It is probably the easiest wax I've ever used and it's a lot cheaper than Zaino.

which claybar did you use?

How about using Zaino Claybar with Z-6 as lubricant and then doing NXT?. I already have the Z claybar and dont want to get another one.

Thanks.

When I claybar (I'm a Zaino user) I make a mixture of Zaino Car wash and a little water in a spray bottle ( an empty Z6 detail spay bottle) and spray it on. It's a great lubricant and much less expensive than using detail spray.

I tried the NXT last nite and my car looks great. I love how easy it is to use. Now all I have to do is test it out on my black Jeep Liberty. :D

dude, did the spray wax yesterday after a good wash (lots of rain and dust) and it really does look better than the original application. have to be careful around the windows, plastics, etc, but its worth it. its not quite as quick as they lead you to believe, but at least you can spray it on instead of using the applicator!

Ok question for NXT experts in this thread:
I have multiple layers of Zaino right now and want to try NXT. Do I have to claybar or is it okay to use NXT on my previous Zaino layers???

Can you use NXT and Zaino alternately without using claybar every time? I believe claybar is good but its excessive use is bad.

Re: Meguirs NXT wax

Here it is, after 1 month, with sporadic spray in between, washed Thursday, it's Saturday now. Still looks like it's holding up well.
