NXT Wax 2.0 with Yellow #26

[groovejet]

Hello all,

I was getting
ready to detail my car this weekend and had one quesstion.
I am going to start by washing then claying, swirl remover, polish, NXT Tech Wax 2.0, and
final step Meguairs #26 Yellow wax.

Question is should I apply the NXT
from Meguairs first then the Meguairs #26 yellow wax? Or Vice Versa?

My thinking is if I lay down the #26 wax I get that deep rich shine and then get
long lasting protection on the shine with NXT wax over it. Any thoughts or
suggestions?

The basic rule is to apply the synthetic first, then carnauba coat last, this is because Carnauba will add depth to the sealant/synthetic wax, synthetic waxes (or sealants) usually lack depth and warmth of carnaubas. M26 is a good product, works real well on dark colors, having said that, it is hard to get depth from silvers so you may want to do a small area first before doing the entire car. NXT 2.0 may be all you'll need on silver. As for protection, if for example you get 2 months protection with a coat of NXT 2.0, it won't necessarily mean you'll get twice the protection with 2 coats or an additional coat of carnauba or a carnauba-synthetic hybrid like M26.

Not a lot to add to ffboy's response - he's pretty much spot on with everything here. Nice work!

I do own a silver car so I am quite familiar with it. Having said that, I do find NXT 2.0 works real well even on dark paint so even if it works best on silver or other light colors. And I did learn a lot by joining meguiarsonline, so I owe a lot to everyone in this forum.
