NXT Topping results
Ok, I just finished the car.
Washed it.
Clay barred the nose. Now this was interesting. Other than the nose (bugs, road grime) the claybar glided like wet ice over the rest of the car. After calling someone else with more claybar experience than myself, I came to the conclusion that the previous NXT application protected so well, that nothing was able to really stick to the paint. So the clay bar was confined to the front bumper, front section of the hood and roof, and the mirrors.
Next came the NXT. It goes on smoothly, and it comes off a LOT easier than Carnuba wax. Once I had the whole car done with NXT, I did half of the hood with Deep Crystal wax. After I was done, I have to say that the NXT alone did look a LOT better. I dunno, the DC seemed to leave tiny little criss-cross hair lines, whereas the NXT didn't.
What did make a difference was a 2nd coat of NXT. I applied the second coat to what I call the "high exposure" areas - hood, roof, trunk lid, mirrors, and front bumper.
Seriously, it goes on and comes off so easily, I don't see any reason (for my uses) to use anything else.
I've found my new wax

In case you don't know, those glasses remove almost all reflection and glare. Once I took them off, I was even more amazed at the results.
