multiple layers

[Joenok]

Hey!
Planning on doing some serious grooming the next two days.
Only problem is that it´s been raining for a long time and there is dirt everywhere..

This is what I´ll be using:
Nxt gen wash
ScratchX
DC paint cleaner
DC Polish
GC liquid wax.

Meguiars applicators
Superior shine microfiber for the polish/wax
AutoGlym chamois
Sonax cloths

I´m very happy with the results that Meguiar´s products provide, however... -I´ve got a bottle of very durable "car wax" in the basement. My question is: Can I use this after the steps above to protect and keep the shine for longer?
Or should i put two layers of GC wax?

Second question:
Is the microfibre cloth useful for anything other than removing polish/wax and using on interior?
The guy at the store told me he used it to dry his car after washing...?

I´ll be taking before/after pics!
Thanks for all the help and learning you guys provide!

What kind of durable car wax is this? I'd say put to THIN LAYERS of Gold Class Wax or if you can get NXT Tech Wax, use that. If you want to add on top of that, add #26.

The Microfiber cloth is useful for drying if you want, but if you're going to use a MF for drying you might as well, and I recommend, you getting a WATER MAGNET. much better.

you can also use it on your rims...lol...

goodluck

Thanks-
Well, I was planning on using the chamois and some cotton cloths for drying, I just had to ask.

Well, since you ask, the wax is a standard Turtle Wax. Doesn´t shine all that much, but my experience is that it has a better durability than the gold class. However, a layer of turtle on top of the GC might ruin the shine?
Would like to use the NXT wax but I don´t have that to use.

I bet that microfiber would look nice after I used it on my rims...

can you not order in the NXT?

get some cleaner for your tires/rims. or just use soap and water.

i, myself, wouldn't put Turtle wax on top of GC. i'd just do two coats of Gc and see if you can get #26.

i'm not a turtle wax fan though. so i'm a little biased i'll admit.

.May be better to do the "durable" wax first, and then GC.

I will say, I have been putting Klasse Sealant Glaze after DC1 and DC2, and then I put a Meg's topper (either 26, GC, or spray wax) on top. I really do like the durability of SG so far. But, it's definitely more muted as compared to just GC on it. I'd say 85% or so of the GC shine.

In the future, I'm going to go the sealant route in the fall, and then GC throughout the summer . . . . .

The Water Magnet is a microfiber towel, and is really fantastic for drying, if you can get one or two at a decent price.

Now, the Supreme Shine is also a microfiber towel, but I dont find it to be anywhere near as absorbant.

Different kinds of microfibers can be woven and designed to do different things.
