This is what took me so long, just a small sample of what shook loose from the car while using the D/A. One grain of that gets on the pad, and it turns into a bad day...

NXT 2.0 is a sealant. I'd still put a carnuba wax on top of that. But looks good!

Meguires has great everyday waxes. If you test them they all have different finishes as far as feel and touch.I have allways liked the cleaner wax in the burgundy bottle.It feels silky to the touch.

Depends on your paint's condition, and the supplies you have on hand. For instance, if you have a DA polisher, and the proper supplies (swirl remover / polish / enhancer) then there are more steps.

But at the minimum

Wash
Clay
Wash
NXT

If you have the proper supplies, this is what I would do...
Wash
Clay
Swirl Remover (with white or orange pad)
Polish (with black pad)
Sealant (NXT, Rejex, etc...)
Sealant (x2 12-18hrs apart)
Carnuba Wax.
