    what do you mean by "go", apply?
    I would apply NXT first because it does have some light cleaning ablility and then i would wait 24 hours and top it with a coat of #16.

        Hello


        Thank you for answer my posting. I am real just trying to get that wet look to the paint. I thought M#16 can help achieve that look I want. Any suggestions how can I achieve this look? I am Start this Project on Saturday.


        1. Wash whole car with NXT car wash
        2. Clay
        3. DC. 1
        4. DC. 2
        5. Rinse
        6. NXT Wax
        7. M# 16 (Sunday)



        This is too much or too little?
        I open to any suggestion comment.



        Thank you for your response,

          that sounds about right but I would rinse after claying instead of after polishing

            Do not rinse after polishing with DC2. Instead go directly to your LSP.

            I would wash with NXT
            clay
            If there are/is light swirling, subsitute ScratchX for DC1
            DC2
            NXT, 2 coats
            M16 (or I perfer 26) 1 day later.

              Your going to like the way NXT looks after two applications. You might find #16 un needed after two NXT applications.

                Hello


                I wash the whole with NXT Car wash
                Then I clay a small area of the Front Left Panel
                Second I use DC#1
                Thrid I use DC# 3
                Then Top it off with NXT Wax.

                Is this how it should look?

                  Thats a great reflection you have.

                  As for the SS microfiber, it should be fine. Prior to using any of my towels though, I whip them about in the air to make sure there is nothing on the towel.

                    Not to correct your way (your reflection looks great) but you might get better results going from DC1 to NXT (since NXT is rich in polishing oils and is a better sealent) then topping with the DC3. This should prove more durable, and might provide a better shine.

                      Well, Gold Class is the wax richest in polishing oils... so I would still want DC#2, etc before Nxt.

                      And I am not sure about the last order you posted. You mention going DC#1, DC#3, then Nxt. Maybe you meant DC#2, but having a polish in there would certainly help if you didnt.
