NXT 2.0 Followed by #21, then 135

[adydula]

I have been using the 2.0 NXT and its great, except for the minor dusting while wiping off.

Then i put a coat of #21 on, remove...

Then the next day I use 135...

Does this make sense??

It really looks awesome though!

I might try the 2.0 product on top, or two coats of it, to take more advantage of the new polymers in it.

But as long as you are getting the results you want, stick with it.

Why not just go with 2 coats of #21 2.0.? Then the next dayuse some #135.

I would also rearrange it and go with #21 and then NXT 2.0.
The hydrophobic technology is very noticeable.

Thanks for the input...my reasoning for doing the NXT first then the 21 was because of me reading that NXT, even though synthetic is a WAX , or at least I thought so reading the box??

I notice when i use NXT 2.0 I still get some residue when removing...like a wax does but not as much but still enough to get in the cracks around the hood and trunk area..enough to have to brush or blow out..so again I am thinking this is the WAX part causing this.

The 21 is a sealant and I thought this would 'seal' and help protect the NXT 2.0 below it???

Then the occaisionally 135 in between the acts??

I also thought the the magic in NXT 2.1 was #21.......????

I hope a Meguiars rep will help me understand this one!!

I will try the other way around as well...

Thanks

Meguiars tends to use the terms wax and sealant a bit interchangeably, so dont let it confuse you too much.

Nxt 2.0 and #21 2.0 are both completly synthetic. Any dusting would likely be from applying it too thickly. It may be that you are just finding it easier to apply the second coat thinly.

I have been reading that #21 will remove NXT??? Is this true?? If this is so then my using 21 on top of nxt is just removing the nxt and leaving 21???

Why is so confusing??? (lol)

Layering waxes is a whole other issue... just go with the two recomended coats.

to clear a few things up...

The original NXT was very similar to the original #21. For your case, consider them equal.

The new NXT 2.0 amd #21 2.0 are also, in your case essentially the same product. (The technical difference has to do with the ability to apply by rotary, which I don't think you are doing).

That said, you are basically stacking the old version with the new version of the SAME PRODUCT. So, to answer the question, no, it doesn't make sense lol.

Just use the NXT 2.0 in 2 coats if you want the added protection.

As for the dusting, that is because you likely apply it too think. Trust me, you barely need anything for this stuff to be put on right. THIN THIN THIN!

Next, as for one product removing the other...this would occur (to an extent, an extent which is virtually impossible to test to an exact science) if you attempted to apply the second coat before the first coat had enough time to fully cure.

Lots of people suggesting several hours, some say 12 hours between coats of any NXT products for optimum bonding and curing. If you end up doing it sooner than that you don't risk any harm, it likely will just fail to coat it as thoroughly and thickly as it would have with proper cure times.

Hope this clears a few things up for you.

P.S. Hitting it with UQD or #135 afterward is a GREAT idea.

Re: NXT 2.0 Followed by #21, then 135

I just got off the phone with the Meguiars experts and I asked if NXT Tech Wax 2.0 was the same as #21.

His answer was no.

Its very similiar and he explained that their a group of professionals that liked the tech wax and wanted a similiar product, #21 has a few things removed ....so its different.

I dont know why if tech wax is so good the pro's dont just use tech wax?

What the items removed are and why etc are obvioulsy Meguiars confidential information.

But he did mention that using tech wax and putting 21 on top is not bad its just redundanat and its better to use 2 coats of tech wax OR 2 coats of #21 ...Not to mix 2 different (although) similar with each other.

He stressed its better to use 2 coats of the same product.

So tech wax 2.0 and #21 are different. They are for 2 different customer sets...go figure??

#21 can be used with a Rotary, where 2.0 it is not recommended... that is the main "technical" difference. I guess pro line vs consumer line. Not that a consumer couldn't use a rotary... but if your not going to use a rotary, just use the 2.0.

Re: NXT 2.0 Followed by #21, then 135

This makes sense, must be the things removed from Tech Wax 2.0 are to allow it to be used with a rotary so it doesnt do strnage things etc..

I just use my good old arm so tech wax is ok fine them
