Okay I ordered a bottle of NXT wax and wil be coming in soon, im just wondering...i have a coat of S100 on my car already, would it be worth it to top it off w/ some NXT???



or should i just wait until the S100 is gone?



also I have 3 cars I'm doing this weekend...



One of the cars



Dark Blue 01' Ford Sport trac ( paint is in bad condition)

E1 Wash

Mthers Pre-Wax cleaner

Mthers Glaze/sealer

Meg NXT wax



..what do you guys think...?



the other two will be



Black 98' GS400, lots of swirls



and a Mazda 626 that i have not seen yet...
 
I think the PD's and light abrasives in the NXT will remove most if not all of the S100. You're better off just stripping off the wax with a strong detergent like Dawn and start from scratch.



Mothers Prewax Cleaner is primarily a chemical cleaner with some light abrasive action. I don't think it will do the job on neglected paint but it's worth an experiment. Try it on a small area and judge results. If it works, great. If not, step up to a real polish like Meguiar's DACP or a fine cut cleaner.
 
I'd first use Meg's Medallion Premium Paint Cleaner applied by PC with a Meg's 8006 polishing pad or it's equivalent. It is a very strong chemical cleaner but still very safe for all paint types. This stuff will leave your paint literally "squeaky" clean and save you the Dawn wash (I'm not a fan of that whole process). Apply the NXT...let it set for 12 hours then apply the S100. I think that might be a killer combo.:D



For the sport trac I agree with bretfraz...use #83 DACP or #82 Swirl Free Polish as I don't think a chemical cleaner like the Mother's product with do much for swirls/cob web effect.
 
I would also go with DACP or SFP. They are the two products I can't live without. I can mix and match glazes, waxes and sealants all day, but they won't do their job without proper paint prep and that is where DACP and SFP fit in.



I would consider topping NXT with Meguiars #16 Pro Paste Wax. It is a great combo.
