Default Question for NXT users

I have always put on a coat of polish before waxing my car. When you use NXT do you polish first or NXT only? Thanks,

I claybar'd the car, then used the NXT. I plan on using the Booster spray in between. You'll love the NXT. Very :cool:

The first time I used NXT I used Meguire's #2 Deep Crystal Polish after I put on Scratch X. Then, I put on one coat of NXT. Monday afternoon and Tuesday, I put only one coat of NXT. I really could not tell the difference. The NXT has its on shine. I think I will not put on another coat of the #2, and just go with Scratch X once in awhile, and go with wash, dry, NXT followed by NXT booster spray in between.

I did a Dawn wash, Griot's machine polish #2 with a Porter Cable and then NXT.

Next wash I used the Booster Wax and then Booster Wax every third wash. Very happy with the results so far :cheers:

I called the Mcquires tech line and ask the same question. I was told that with the new NXT you did not need to use anything else.

Keep on cruising :steering:

My paint was fine so there was no need to polish or anything else. I just put on the NXT and I'm quite pleased. The stuff is some slick!

All the best. :yesnod:

Took mine out of storage, washed it with NXT wash, used NXT, used NXT booster spray.

That was weeks ago and it still looks stunningly beautiful!

I just did mine for the first time today. It was spa day for the Vert. I washed with Mr.Clean Autodry, let it sit, and did the last few drops with a chamois. After that I rubbed it with the clay bar. Then rubbed in NXT scratch X by hand (with microfiber rags) and followed with same SOP on NXT tech wax. Incredible difference!! I though I messed up because the hood looked blue, it was reflecting the sky! Way too cool. I'll try to post pics tomorrow so I don't get the "this thread is worthless w/o pics" comment.....
Got all my stuff at Pep Boys, worth every penny! :yesnod: :) :)
