What's the deal with "Layering?"

I am with Mike, I love my last touch. Sometimes I just spray it in the air when Im working in the garage too, it smells really good.

Last Touch

I ordered this, thanks..... Thanks for the advice through the paint repair. The #80 and final inspection helped me keep the vehicle looking as good as new. It even survived some salted roads. The use of the polish and then adding a synthetic and then the wax delivers a rich gloss that looks better than I had it before the accident. Hopefully, 75 days was enough time to wait before sealing and waxing. I guess that is at the higher end of the 30-90 day range? I'm hoping the truck is stupid and does not know I got impatient and cheated on my 90 day wait goal?

I agree with Mike and Bluezero, Last Touch is the way to go. I love using it. It leaves a slick "just waxed" feel, is easy to use and smells great!

Re: What's the deal with "Layering?"

I had a question after reading thur your forum. I have an 05 scion tc blacksands pearl and it's out side all year. I do half a panel at a time until I complete the entire car. (Ex. half the trunk then half the hood) I do this to allow the first section time to dry for removal. As I follow this process I begin in the same sequence with NXT wax and then #21. My last step is to mist spray the entire car with Ultimate Quick Detailer.
Here is a picture.



My question is this, Is this overkill?

Re: What's the deal with "Layering?"

So you apply Nxt to the whole car, let it dry, buff off, then apply the coat of #21 to the car, let it dry, and buff off?

Thats right, although I might wait till the next day to UQD. I think it is best to let the waxes set up a bit first.

Re: What's the deal with "Layering?"

Yes, this is correct. After thinking about it I think I haven't been getting the most out of my products because i don't allow for 20 mins between each application. I usually don't have time to wait because I may be at a parking lot using shade to keep out of direct sun ligh. I also have another question. I was thinking about starting to use a buffer (flex or Mikita) to speed up this process. is this a good idea? I evenutally want to move over and use on customer cars that I clean up.

Re: What's the deal with "Layering?"

I tried to edit my point but actually I buff off the previous section once I have completed either 1 or 2 more sections. Usually by this time the first location is white haze.

Re: What's the deal with "Layering?"

I would do the whole car, then come back and buff off.

As far as working by machine, you wouldnt want to wax by rotary, but it is kind of its own topic. A new thread might be best, so we can go into detail there if you want.

thank you and will do /

Re: What's the deal with "Layering?"

I understand your problem due to lack of shade, being outside etc. I think that if you did wait longer you would see a big improvement. Good luck.

Re: What's the deal with "Layering?"

Okay to sum it up: The NXT is best applied in 2 coats with a wait of at least 20mins then left alone since a 3rd coat would be redundant? The thread is old enough that NXT 2.0 hasn't been mentioned but I can imagine it is about the same as I did e-mail the question and that is what they said, more than 2 coats isn't needed. With NXT 2.0 is it still recomended to put the #21 on top or as a up keep coat at say a week later? Or should the NXT 2.0 spray be put on a week or two later?

I got a cordless 4" polisher that seems to do a good application and removal of the NXT. It's always good to find out how to do the job better.
