Correct way to apply NXT Wax

Re: Correct way to apply NXT Wax

Before applying any wax, you need to aquire a compass and position the car so it is facing north. Then you need to apply the wax with strokes going from north -> south, not the other way. After each panel you need to turn yourself round and round in a circular motion, until you feel really dizzy, and then you need to read this: Circles or Straight Lines?

Way to funny!

Re: Correct way to apply NXT Wax

you can do both but working it in well will push the wax into the pores of the paint

I don't think so. I may be wrong, but I don't think on a clearcoat/base coat the wax will do anything but sit on the clearcoat. I know it is almost impossible to take scratches out of some clear, like on my C6 Corvette, as it is so hard. Polish, maybe, but I don't think NXT can be worked in. Any experts know?

Re: Correct way to apply NXT Wax

Anything that is applied to a surface, and is meant to be left behind, will fill in any unevenness on the surface..

Now, whether is actualy makes these swirls less visable is another story, and I think Nxt advertsies that it can make swirls a bit less visable.

exactly, even though applying it by hand is fine as well. with the g100, you get even coverage/pressure onto the finish and your hand doesn't get tired...

I tend to agree with sneek. I think clear coat is slightly porous on a microscopic level, therefore the NXT Wax can be worked in to some extent...

Re: Correct way to apply NXT Wax

When applying with a PC, do you guys use the same method as polishing, except at a slower speed? In other words, do you spread the product first (speed 2), then do overlapping passes in both directions (speed 4)? Or do you quickly spread the product and just wait for it to haze before removing it?
