Hi RPM...Welcome to MOL!

I don't know much about Bar Keepers Friend, but I like your combo...Just be sure to add claying to the list after washing the car. (If it needs it)

I'd also suggest forgetting the Barkeeper's Friend and after claying the car move on and clay the windows. I think clay is a better glass cleaner and leaves none of the residue the the cleanser does.

Haven't had a chance to buy clay yet..

I agree...Clay does a good job on windows.

Out of interest, why do you feel the need for three waxing steps?

I would have thought that the NXT Wax (liquid) would be enough - possibly apply a second coat 24hrs later.

I might be wrong here but would NXT Wax have problems bonding to DC#3? If you wanted to layer would it be better to swap the order around?

Also, isn't the NXT Spray Wax meant to be used as a booster wax. Wouldn't it be better to save this until you wash next.

I guess these are more queries than comments :/

Cheers,
Phil

Hi PhilS...Welcome to MOL!

You make a good point...I should have read the post better than I did.

I would apply the 2 coats of NXT 1st (24 hrs. apart between applications), and then apply the DC#3, 24 hrs. after the 2nd coat of NXT has cured.

Myself, I would probably skip the DC#3 altogether, but it could improve the durability & looks of the finish on the other hand.
