  • Mistake - Thought Spray was base coat !!

    Guys,

    I gave the car the annual Easter Spring Clean today, the car is covered Oct - April, as the weather and roads in the UK during these months are wet and sprayed with salt.

    The paint is only 2 years old and is House of Color Majic Blue with Clearcoat.

    The car normally gets the 3part crystal system twice in the 6 months that it is used. It is only parked in my drive with no major pollants near, and only does 1400miles on dry roads each year.

    Today i cleaned the car, didnt need to clay, as the paint was still as smooth as a babies bum after the winter storage, but i used the NXT wax for the first time today - i was told the spray was the same as the liquid. The finish does look like glass, so i thought it was a job well done !

    I find on here that isnt true, it did go on and wipe off very easily, so does that mean that i still have a solid base on the car over the past few years ?

    What should i do now, wash and apply 2 coats of NXT liquid, or just leave it a few weeks and apply 2 coats of liquid after the next wash ?

    That's kind of up to you, if it hasn't been waxed for a while, as long as the car is clean, and I stress that, you can just apply two coats of NXT wax, liquid or paste. You may need to re-wash or wipe it down, depending on how dirty it is.

    The spray wax is meant to be used in between waxing to give it that just waxed look, sort of like a booster I guess.

      Well as i spent the day cleaning her, it is ok to just dust and apply the liquid over the spray ?

      No problems building it up that way around.

        No, just apply the NXT over the spray wax on a clean surface, it has mild cleaners in it anyways.
