It's been said to me that its better to put the Carnuba ontop of the NXT

I've used both. On my particular vehicle(the one in my avatar), I like the new GC carnauba better for looks. It really depends on your color though. Usually, a synthetic(NXT 2.0) will give a different look then a carnauba (GC).

As kimchiyuk sayd, it all depends on the paint color, GC carnauba produces a deep and natural shine, the NXT is a polymer wax wich produces a High gloss finish, but it all depends on the paint color.

I prefer to use NXT for protection, easy to apply and to remove, and then apply a fine coat of GC for rich shine.

^ +1
NXT2 as the solid base fur durability
#26 or DC3 or GC as a light top coat.

Re: Gold Class + Carnuba vs NXT 2.0.

I am a die-hard GC wax fan. The original GC wax was the first Megs product I bought and I have not looked at another wax since. I think the GC plus Carnauba is awesome and truly deepens the color, especially on my red CooperS. I have only used NXT once and it is also incredible but I am partial to GC. I also find it extremely easy to remove.

I' ve been topping NXT with M26 (carnauba). I really like the combo.

Re: Gold Class + Carnuba vs NXT 2.0.

I tried TechWax 2.0, topped with Gold Class Carnauba Plus. It's great! I know GC CP is a wax/polish, and might remove some of the TechWax 2.0 (wait for 12 hours to cure). However, from what I been reading here, that the polish in GC CP is MINOR, and not strong enough to remove all of TechWax 2.0.

Re: Gold Class + Carnuba vs NXT 2.0.

I have 2 vehicles; one silver and one black: I have tried a number of combinations, and my standard process is ColorX followed by NXT. Looks great on both. If I am in the mood for another step, I will finish with M26.

Re: Gold Class + Carnuba vs NXT 2.0.

To answer your original question, I like the look GC provides. I like the durable that NXT provides....overall GC. I wash and uqd/uqw enough to help with protection.

Re: Gold Class + Carnuba vs NXT 2.0.

Ok, so many of you say that everything depends on the color of the car. Well mine is white and still don't know which wax to use. In the area where I live only Tech Wax 2.0 is available through online retailers. They say that Gold Class Carnauba Premium will be available in late April. Should I wait for it or maybe stick with Tech Wax 2.0? So far I've been using cleaner wax and was pleased with it, how the two compare to it?

NXT2 is good, and you cannot go wrong with it. I would say use it as your base coat wax (and allow it to cure for several hours), and initially also as your 2nd coat wax. If/when you can get GCPlus you can try topping the NXT2 with it as the 2nd coat. I suspect you wont see a huge difference (especially on white)

Re: Gold Class + Carnuba vs NXT 2.0.

OK, GCC+ is available and I can get it, which is very tempting, but the question still remains the same, for my white car which wax is going to work better? Are here any guys with white cars?

Re: Gold Class + Carnuba vs NXT 2.0.

... for my white car which wax is going to work better?...

Impossible to answer, it depends on what "better" means to you. synthetic sealants like NXT2 tend to give the highest reflective/glossy look. Carnubas tend to give a little warmer/deeper look. Even so, the difference is subtle. Also, I believe synthetics tend to more "sheet" off water while carnuba tends to more "bead" it .. and what is "best" again depends on what you want.

So, you are sort-of asking "what is the best song ever recorded" or "what is the best wine" ... you get the idea.

Re: Gold Class + Carnuba vs NXT 2.0.

I predict you will like Gold Class better, it makes colors look richer, and reflections seem sharper. NXT Gen's advantage is it's durability. I have tried topping NXT with GC, and I like that combo. If I were stuck with only one as a choice, it would be GC.
