NXT application tips needed
I'm giving NXT 2.0 liquid wax a shot, and I need some tips on how to apply it thin enough. My problem is that I will put a dime size spot of NXT on my pad and then I will smooth it out with my finger. The spot where I first place my pad on my hood will have the thickest amount of product, and I can never spread the product out well enough to make a "barely visible" even layer. There will be thick spots and streaks here and there that never spread as thin as needed. Will a applicator pad moist with quick detailer or distilled water help or harm the products final finish? I am also considering trying Ultimate Liquid Wax in the future for longevity. Thanks in advance.

I apply it with a polishing pad on my DA polisher.
I prime the pad and press it onto the car in serval places on a panel to distribute the product before turning the polisher on..
Do NOT wet the applicator with anything else.
It will interfere with curing of the sealant.

Maybe you are applying too much pressure. When applying any wax (unless a cleaner wax), you don't really need to apply that much pressure. You are not trying to remove any imperfections (like a polish) but add protection.

I draw a straight line across the pad and butter it out with my finger some. As others have said wipe lightly. I don't use NXT any longer but it's a good product and if I remember correctly it comes off easy if you put it on a little too heavy.
