Polymer or Carnauba or Both??

Hi guys, first post so please be gentle, and I'm sure it's one that's been asked time and time again...



In a nutshell, I've got two ranges of products at home and can't really make my mind up about them so I'd like some feedback.





Meguiars: NXT wash, Quik Clay, DC1, DC2, NXT liquid wax and Speed Detailer



Swissol: Paint Rubber, Paint Cleaner and Zuffenhausen wax (40% Carnauba paste wax)





My car is a new 2005 Audi TT finished with metallic black paint, so it looks great when done, but it is a pain to keep up.



Basically, the NXT gives great clarity but not the wetness of the Swissol wax and is easier to apply than the carnauba wax.



I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to layer the Swissol on top of a coat of NXT [from what I've read, it won't work the other way around] or just stick with one product or the other.



All of the processes are done by hand by the way and please don't suggest another range of products, I'm just trying to get the best out of what I already have.



Thanks for looking! :xyxthumbs
 
You can top the NXT with a carnuba no problems it will increase depth and wetness IMO. That would be my choice.



If you are finding the Swissol hard to apply maybe change to a easier to use Carnuba there are plenty about.
 
Thanks for the feedback Rich.



Actually the Swissol wax is fairly easy to apply/remove, it's getting good results from the cleaner that I find difficult.



So then I might have a go at DC1, DC2, NXT then Swissol and forego Swissol's paint cleaner.



Basically Swissol say you must use the paint cleaner before using their wax [to provide a 'key' for the wax on the paint], but from what I've read many people do top NXT or similar with a carnauba with good effect so I'm sure that will work.



Only one way to find out I guess, just wish it would stop raining long enough!!! :furious:
 
Lots of waxes say you must use there pre wax cleaner first. You will be fine to top the NXT with it.



Once the rain stops I would give it a try.
