Spray Wax on NXT Tech Wax

[S60slipstream]

It is said that the NXT Spray Wax works chemically best with the NXT Tech Wax. I have difficulties finding the NXT Spray Wax, but the Gold Class Spray Wax is available. What are the pros and cons of using the Gold Class Spray Wax on NXT wax in between waxes?

Also, been reading about not waxing a new coat of paint and that paint should be left to fully cure for at least 60 days. I live in a tropical climate country, and average temperatures are about 30deg Celcius. Any issues with waxing as early as 2 weeks after new coat of paint has been sprayed?

Great to see car enthusiasts from all over the world on this forum.

NXT Tech Wax is a polymer and The NXT Tech Spray Booster Wax is also a polymer. They work together very well IMO.

We don't have Gold Class Spray Wax here but I've used the Gold Class liquid and the Gold Class paste wax. If the spray is like these then I'd not use it on NXT. I find it to contain fairly aggressive cleaners that would, IMO, remove the NXT. Perhaps Mike can tell us more about the spray wax. You can try it on a body panel and see how it works for you.

Ask your painter for his recommendation but the common view is to wait 60 to 90 days before waxing new paint. The paint is still curing and the solvents need to be allowed to evaporate. I'd just use #80 Speed Glaze on it and leave it cure.

Again, welcome to the forum and tell us about your car.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have recently picked up the 'joy' and 'satisfaction' of tasting a perfectly detailed car culminating from my very own hard work. I have always sent my cars for professional cleaning and detailing. Thought it was very hard work until I actually tasted the rewards of what it feels like to personnally 'create' the perfect looking car. I do not send my cars to anyone else to clean, wax or polish anymore.

This change in me happened after I sent my Volvo S60 for a repaint - changed the colour from Gold to Black Sapphire Metallic. Was told that the Black shade I got required absolute tender loving care. Which was when I went out and learnt about the 'art' of detailing. Let me tell you that I am hooked. No need to explain what 'hooked' means, as reading all the forums in the net, there are hell of a lot of 'hookers' out there

Anyway, I also own a BMW 318 (2004) which is silver metallic. So I actually have 2 cars to detail and the only problem is that my family time will need to be sacrificed somewhat
