I showed some small areas of the MGB I did with NXT in a recent thread...finally finished polishing the luggage rack, remounted it, finished the car, and got a chance to take pictures.
Some notes:
PREP: The "only" prep I did before NXT was a quick wash, but I did a pretty thorough detailing last year. I don't drive the car very much and it is otherwise garaged and covered, so I think some of last year's prep certainly counts for something (before I started the paint was still very slick and clean). All steps last year (paint cleaner, polish, wax) were done by hand.
NXT: I applied one thin coat of NXT with a foam applicator, by hand - let it dry about 20 minutes or so - and wiped off with a cotton towel. I went back about 48 hours later with another coat.
TIRES: I cleaned the tires with 303 Vinyl Cleaner, followed a day later with a coat of 303 Aerospace Protectant applied with a small sponge applicator. I spread a light coat around the tire and let it sit to air-dry (two days before I took these pictures).
