NXT Waxes..Confused...??

[LT22]

I remember seeing somewhere in the forum where mike stated that he puts 2 coats of NXT Tech Wax. After doing so, the next time you rewax your car with NXT Tech Wax do you put 2 more coats again?

I can't speak for other's detailing habits, but I usually only apply two coats after a full detailing session, i.e. wash, clay, clean, polish, 2xLSP

After that, on the same car if the finish is still in good condition then it's usually just wash and 1xLSP

About claying, cleaning, and polishing what do you reccommend applying these and wiping them off? and do you need them to settle into the paint before you wipe it off like you do with wax?

Is anyone going to tell me how?

Claying is a matter of spraying Quick Detailer on the paint, and rubbing the clay bar across. Afterwards, I hose the car off and dry with a Water Magnet.

Cleaning, if just mild, can be done with a foam applicator, or even coat applicator, worked in well, then wiped off with a supreme shine microfiber. If some swirls are there, you may use terry cloth to apply, for a little more aggresiveness. It should be wiped off before drying, perhaps doing an area the size of a door, then wiping off.

Polishing can be done with foam appliacator, or even coat applicator, worked i nslightly, and wiped off with microfiber. Polishes als oshould not dry before removing.

Waxing can be done with either a foam applicator, or even coat applicator, and wiped off with microfiber. The waxes and cleaner waxes should dry before remvoing.

So claying, cleaning, and polishing all you have to do is work it in the paint then wipe it off right after?

Except for waxes, everything else is applied, worked-in, and then removed. In the Meguiar's line, the only things that need to dry are the waxes.

Yes.

Claying
Apply clay, move bar over surface, wipe any leftover quick detailer residue off with microfiber and then move on.

Paint Cleaners
Apply product, work against finish, wipe off

Pure Polish
Apply product work into finish, wipe off.

Wax
Apply product, allows to dry till it swipes clear, remove products

Hope this helps...
