Love my 2005 Spectra SX!
I already have Meguiar's NXT. I didn't weeks of research on the best wax for the buyer. i found out that NXT is good at protecting the paint but not giving it that deep gloss, and that it magnifies swirls marks. I figured on buying mothers carnauba to put as a top coat over the NXT. Do you think that would be ok?
 
Whaaaa??? You feel that NXT magnifies swirls? NXT has fillers in it that actually hides swirls. I'd say that it looks pretty good too. It is definitely a synthetic looking product, but I think it looks good. For an OTC sealant you can't really get much better from what I've seen. I would suggest that you try using it first and then see if you still feel the need to top it with something. If you wanted to top it with a carnauba then you could do that, but I haven't seen a need to top NXT with anything else. It works pretty good all by itself.

You need to revisit wherever you got your information about NXT Tech Wax properties.
Either you didn't read it correctly, you didn't post it correctly or the information was totally wrong and you should avoid that source of information in the future.
1. Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax is a good OTC, (Over The Counter), product.
2. NXT is good at protecting paint, but isn't the longest lasting wax available.
3. NXT does give a good deep gloss.
4. NXT does not magnify swirls, it fills/hides them.

i already did use it. and i used carnauba before and carnaube is still working on my paint. i think carnauba tops it off. it's less watery than nxt and more consentrated.

I've been to numberous websites that all said the same thing.

But just wanted to combined the two, if you know what i mean. to get that nxt poly protection with that deep shine of carnauba.
 
The answer is that yes, you can combine them, but if a carnauba glow with synthetic protection is what you want then you don't have to use a sealant/wax combo to get it. There are a few sealants out there that will give you what you want. They just don't sell them at AutoZone. :lol: If you want to order online then I think you'll find many products out there that will do what you are looking for in one step.
 
I bought NXT because I thought that it was a pure carnuba with no cleaners, I didn't know until recently that Gold Class was a cleaner wax, and I thought I could put it on top of EX without any problems so now I have $30 in Meguiars waxes that will just take off my EX. I am just gonna order some Natty's Blue or Pink Wax soon.

I don't think you have to worry about the amount of cleaner properties in GC to take off your EX (JMO)
 
Well if I was using GC i would be worried about it taking of the EX. GC has mild cleaners in it to take off a sealant that is under it. Both are good products but I would not top GC with EX. It would be one or the other but not both.
 
Whats wrong with just putting another coat of EX on? I think that EX leaves a super high gloss that makes it a great LSP.
