Default Hot-Wax question...not Zaino or NXT!!!

I like my NXT
My question has to do with waxing over NXT

Can you wax over NXT with the "hot wax" found at the car wash?
For an extra $1.25 you can spray a hot wax on your car when you're finished washing it...is this any good?

TIA

Any wax available at a car wash is most likely very low quality.

If you are asking me, it is a total waste of money. Car washes are great for cleaning your engine bay. Other than that, I stay away from them.

Actually the spray waxes at the car washes are not that bad. They get a bum rap..let me put it this way, they will do no harm to your finish but they will actually protect it to a certain degree. Better than nothing at all.

The problem you will run into is if you use the soap rinse before then you will strip the NXT off your car.

I was really expecting a flame job on this post
Every good Corvette owner knows not to bring their prized plastic fantastic through a car wash
