* Meguiarâ€â„¢s new paint sealant is formulated to be used with a rotary buffer in production type environments and is a much wetter product than the NXT Generation Tech Wax and as such offer more play time on the surface while being buffed. (Note: NXT Tech Wax is not formulated for use with a rotary buffer).

A majority of Meguiarâ€â„¢s top accounts that distribute Meguiarâ€â„¢s Professional Line are ordering NXT Tech Wax out of our Consumer Line to distribute into the professional segment of the market, (The professional detailing industry and the new and used car dealerships).

* Meguiarâ€â„¢s new paint sealant and layering â€â€œ Whether Meguiarâ€â„¢s new paint sealant can be layered or not depends on which definition of the word layer you subscribe to.
Layering
If your definition of the word "layer" follows that of Webster's Dictionary:
2 a: One thickness, course, or fold, laid or lying over or under another.
Then yes, you can layer to a certain point. For example, you can add multiple layers of layerable waxes until the limit to how much a given surface of an automotive paint can hold before each additional application is simply removed, or replaces a previously applied layer.
You cannot layer to the point of developing a measurable film-build, and this is key;
without negatively affecting, or diminishing to some degree, the shine, optical clarity, gloss, reflectivity, depth of color etc. of the finish. This is especially true if the product you're applying is not clear (in and of itself) to start with.
If your definition of the word "layer" follows that of definition used by some on the Internet,
Layer 1: To continually build a greater level of protection with each additional application, or layer, of a wax or protectant. (Natural or synthetic)
Layer 2: To continually increase shine, optical clarity, gloss, reflectivity, depth of color
without end and/or after a plateau, or point of maximum potential has been achieved.
Then no, you cannot layer a wax, synthetic, natural, or otherwise.
Meguiarâ€â„¢s Meguiarâ€â„¢s new paint sealant falls into the first category in that two thin coats insures,
- * Uniform Appearance
* Uniform Coverage
As far as samples go for members of Autopia, Iâ€â„¢m working on this.

Expected durability against existing Megs products. I'm one of many that can't seem to get decent durability from NXT, although I do like the product for it's looks.
haha jk!
