Sealant/carnauba is the way to do it. NXT is usually my base sealant with with GC, Souveran or Natty's Red as the carnauba.

Looks great! So do you guys prefer putting NXT 2.0 on top or the bottom of carnuaba wax?

Carnuba on top, since NXT-2.0 is a synthetic sealant and you want it as your main coat for durability and protection. The Carnuba topping will give slightly deeper look (especially to red or dark cars) at a slight expense of some reduced synthetic protection.

Also, NXT-2.0 has some (mild) cleaners so would remove more of any underlying wax than happens if applying a pure carnuba wax (like M07 or DC3 or GoldClass etc) on top of NXT2.0.

Both ways sort-of work, but the base-coat NXT-2.0 with Carnuba top seems to work much better (on red/dark cars).

A minor point, but Gold Class does contain slight cleaning properties. Would suggest substituting 26 to your list, although it isn't truly pure carnauba either. My topping was pure wax. Nothing but pure wax.

Re: Pictures of wax over NXT 2.0

Yup, I meant my personal favorite #26 (pure carnuba) not M07 (which is glaze, not wax). typing too fast. I know GC contains some polish, but did not know it also contained any cleaner. Personally I would recommend #26 for those who can find it (in many consumer stores but not all), else DC3, since they are pure carnuba wax (pure in the sense of wax only, no cleaner etc).

If GC does contain mild cleaners (like NXT-2.0 does) then it could still be used, but it would remove slightly more of the underlying base NXT sealant. Hence, like you, I would then only recommend #26 and/or DC3 (or any other pure carnubas).
