    Re: Need your advise

    First of all,

    Welcome to MOL! Now your part of our family and i hope you learn a lot.

    Ok now, let look at your case.

    IMO NXT 2.0 offers the best protection because its based on polymers and brings a great gloss and great protection.

    GC it more of a carnauba based wax which will offer a rich color and great shine in dark colors like yours, but IMO doesnt offer the kind of protection you want but still, it will really protect your finish.

    Hope i helped.

    Have a great day,

        Re: Need your advise

        This should help you along with what some of the products are:

        Paint Cleaners: Swirlx and Ultimate Compund; possibly Scratchx 2.0 but not totally necessary. Order of aggressiveness from least to greatest: SwirlX (actually a cleaner/polish so it contains some polishing oils), SctratchX 2.0, Ultimate Compund. Be sure to use ScratchX 2.0 and not the original formula ScratchX as the original is weaker than SwirlX.

        Polishes: Either Deep Crystal Polish or M07 show car glaze. They are both very good and will add great depth to the paint.

        Microfibers: YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY!!!!! I would recommend about 12 to begin with. Walmart has decent quality ones but you could always go with the incredible Supreme Shine Microfiber from Megs.

        Wax: I like Gold Class Plus Carnauba, only tried NXT once and it was very good also. It really comes down to a personal preference. NXT 2.0 last longer than Gold Class Plus Carnauba though.If you plan on applying the wax by hand, I recommend the paste but for machine application I suggest the liquid. The differences in the paste and liquid versions come down to a personal preferences.

        Cleaner Wax: Cleaner Wax (A12), the consumer version, is very good and does a nice job of providing a little more muscle to remove slight oxidation and very mild swirls. Colorx is a much stronger cleaner wax, comparable to M06 Cleaner Wax. These can be used if you are running low on time and still want to mildly correct, polish and wax the car.

        Dressings: I like M40 Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner Conditioner for tires and some exterior trim. I also like Supreme Shine Protectant for tires and outdoor trim. Natural Shine Protectant is great for interiors and for people who prefer a low gloss on their trim pieces. You could also check out some of the professional dressings such as All Season Dressing or Hyper Dressing.

        Quick Detail Spray: Quik Detailer is great and does a fantastic job. Ultimate Quik Detailer is equivalent to M135 as it utilizes the hydrophobic technology (the product is “afraid” of the water and therefore the water will either bead or sheet off the car). Only use these to remove light dust. If it is anything heavy then go to a regular wash.

        Spray Wax: Quik Wax is a good product but Ultimate Quik Wax is even better. You can use these after you wash the car in order to boost the already established wax. This should really be used as a booster wax more than the base layer but it will work great either way. UQW also works great on windows to help water beading and prevent water spots.

        I guess if I was to make a necessity list...:
        -Ultimate Compound
        -Swirlx
        -Gold Class Plus Carnauba or NXT 2.0
        -Foam applicators
        -Microfiber towels; at least 12
        -Ultimate Quik Wax
        -Car wash solution
        -G110V2 Dual Action Polisher (unless you want to break your back getting rid of those swirls)
        -If purchasing the DA, then 4 W8207 Polishing pads and 2 W9207 Finishing pads

          It is totally your call. I like them both. Being the dust in your climate. I would go with the NXT. Just because it is Meguiar's longest lasting sealant.
          quality creates its own demand
