I have put NXT on top of UPP but the NXT probably removed or greatly diminished the UPP. I must say that both the NXT and the UPP made my black Santa Fe look great but I have a hunch that the UPP will protect the finish longer. I'm an old man now and I need to hear from someone else that has...

NXT got me through last winter pretty well. I like the way it diminishes minor blemishes. For the upcoming season I'd like to add protection. Has anyone applled UPP over NXT? If so, any problems?

Has anyone topped NXT with UPP? I have NXT on my black Santa Fe and it looks great. It even went through the Winter pretty well. However, I'd like to have even more protection with gloss this Winter. Will the above combination work? :confused:

I just took delivery of a new metalic silver Toyota Avalon. The paint is near perfect now - and I want to keep it that way. Can you suggest a regimen that won't tax my 72 year old body too much? I still have the black Santa Fe, but the work to keep a black car in the "OOOH-AAAH" stage is...

It seems that #80 has replaced VM and NXt or 4*UPP have replaced MW. What say you?

I just can't let well enough alone. I have 2.5x of UPP on the black Santa Fe for well over a month now. S&W, FD and a couple of "velvet" washes at my favorite Shell dealer and the finish was starting to show some minor swirls. I was too lazy to go the full route of #80, #81 and UPP, so I gave...

Megs #51 Final Detail on 4*UPP is like spraying baby oil on the paint. UPP looks great as a last stage product on my black Santa Fe, but the look gets darker, shinier and way more "liquid" with a QD with #51!! Like Mike P. says (to paraphrase) "I have found something I like and I use it...

Final Detail is claimed to not be bodyshop safe, supposedly because it contains "silicones." But, no "silicones" are listed on its MSDS. Last Touch does list "silicones" in its MSDS. But, it costs $3.00 more per gallon. Something in there just doesn't compute. Is there a REAL difference...

My question: Since Final Detail is claimed to be not bodyshop safe, is it then, that Meguires is remiss by not including the "non bodyshop compatable" components in the MSDS? If so, what is the real difference between Final Detail and Last Touch? Besides $3.00. Inquiring minds want to know...

In the first week of April, I applied NXTx2. The first week of May, I applied 4*UPPx2. I had previously used PUPP v.2 (bought in January or February of 2002) and liked a lot. Subsequent to to UPP v.2, I tried EX. (Liked that even more than UPP v.2.) Then came NXT (liked that even more than EX.)...

I just can't help fooling around with my black Santa Fe. It has been a couple of months since the original application of NXT. I was totally pleased! NXT, NXT Spray Wax and FD are a killer combination! But, I had to play with it. Last December I availed myself of the clearance sale on 4*UPP. I...

I preped and gave my black Santa Fe two coats of NXT Tech Wax on February 9. I have had the car washed three times (Shell "Velvet Wash." I have QD'd with FD, 3M and QS at various times. I've used the Spray Booster twice - the last time this afternoon. The Santa Fe looks as bright and...
