As to your second question, I doubt NXT is layerable. It has specialized cleaners in it which will most likely remove the previous layer. Just wait for the first coat to fade before adding more. No point in wasting product for nothing.

I find applying a second application of the NXT Tech Wax has
always improved upon the results produced by one application. When possible, I try to always pull the car out into the sun after one application and carefully inspect it. Often I take pictures. Then I apply a second application and after finishing the compete detail, I pull the car out into the sun again for inspection.
To date, I have always found that 2 applications look better than 1 application.
For example this truck with a single stage finish. It looked great after one application of Tech Wax, but it looked even better after the second application.
I think this holds true for most waxes on the market. Two thin coats will almost always look better than 1 coat. Tech Wax does contain a sleight amount of a special cleaner, but it's not like a rubbing compound, no even remotely close. It is very sleight and it is only active at the very beginning of application. Whether or not Tech Wax is layerable depends on your definition of layerable.
13. Are multiple coats of wax beneficial? (Layering)
14. Can Meguiar's waxes be "Layered"?
The chemist told me that a second application of NXT Tech wax will leave behind more product than it removes. I imagine if you apply the second coat aggressively, or with something more aggressive than soft foam, then the application material and the force could affect it's cleaning ability. Remember, polishing paint is an art form, it is part process, and part passion.
The results of a second layer can be hard to distinguish on lighter colors but it's pretty easy to tell the difference on darker colors like the black paint on the above truck. The key is to inspect the results after the first application, and then again after the second application, and to do so in different lighting conditions and from different angles. If you just apply one coat, you will not be able to compare, and if you don't carefully inspect
between coats, you will not be able to notice a difference. Again, this holds true for most products.
Tonight we're doing an
Extreme Makeover to this severely oxidized and neglected 1969 Mustang.
1969 Mustang - Single Stage Green Paint - Extreme Makeover
After the prep work is complete, we will be applying two applications of NXT Tech Wax. Please feel free to come on down and join in the fun and inspect the finish before and after the second coat of NXT. Because this is a lighter color, you may not see a difference, but if you can see a difference on darker colors, we can assume the difference takes place on lighter colors, it’s just our eyes have a difficult time perceiving the difference.
