Hello from NC

[duke1]

Hello everyone.



I picked up my 2010 G37 Black Coupe Friday and detailed it on Saturday.

1- Wash with Gold Class Car Wash
2- Clay Bar
3- Wash & Dry
4- NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0
5- Ultimate Quik Detailer

This Friday I am planning on washing and adding another coat of NXT to make sure I got everything.

On Saturday I will add a coat of Gold Class Carnauba Plus and see how it looks on black. I will do a small section first and see how much it helps.

My question is it ok to add a coat of NXT on top of this and how long should I wait. I realize it’s probably not necessary but I was thinking about alternating between the two each time I waxed the car since I received both as a gift.

Hello from Raleigh. Are you planning NXT, Gold Class, then NXT again?

Yes that's what I was thinking about. It depends on how the Gold Class looks on top of the NXT on black. I wanted to get 2 coats of the NXT on and then put on a coat of Gold Class.


I enjoy detailing my car. The problem is I am not sure how much of the NXT I would be removing, if any, when I applied the Gold Class over it. And how much of the Gold Class is removed when applying the NXT on top of it.


Since the carnauba wax only last 6-8 weeks I would need another coat of Gold Class then. The problem is how much of the NXT is still on the car. Since a sealant should last 4-6 months or so I guess I could add another coat of NXT then.


“A carnauba car wax finish will wear off in approximately 6 to 8 weeks. It depends heavily on the climate in which you live and whether or not your vehicle is garaged. Daily commutes in a hot, humid climate mean a shorter life span for your carnauba wax coat


A premium paint sealant can last 4 to 6 months, sometimes longer."

BTW - Thanks for the welcome.

I just read Mike's threads on Topping NXT and Layering which kind of answered most of my questions. Also read a lot of the Detailing 101 threads.

Having used Zaino for the past 7 years on my silver 03 G35 Coupe I was just wanting to make sure I was on the right page with these new to me products.
