Bought my first bottle of the NXT and read the directions on application. It stated to put a very light coat on. I did that with the Zaino product I used but left streaks. It is very difficult to guage the thickness or thinness you put on. If I put a bit too much on of the NXT, will it leave streaks? What is the best way to apply it and remove it....By hand or orbiter? This is my plan of action to detail my vehicle next weekend....Had lots of rain here in Houston the past two days and more to come.

Wash with Dawn
Strip the old wax off using DX-330
Apply Sctach X, two coats
Apply two coats of NXT....

Any suggestions on a better way of getting the maximum results?

:rolleyes:

I just did mine. Washed with Dawn. Clayed with Mother's clay bar and detailer. Put on one coat of NXT with random orbital buffer. Did the whole car and rims, then removed with cotton towels. I got it on too thick because I found it difficult to remove. Next day, I redid the NXT with my buffer putting much less on the car. A very thin coat. Came of very easy. I didn't have any streaks with the thick or thin application. Great shine--awesome shine, in fact.
