washing and waxing

[Lafiro]

I have the Pacific Blue Metallic. Alright, too bad the leaves are falling and the ran got to the car this morning, right after I did this. But I will take a picture.

So its a good idea then to wax the car with the NXT 2.0 stuff? And then use the Carnauba wax I got?

Thanks for the responses.

Pacific Blue Metallic is a pretty light color. I would go with the NXT. Um, i don't know how much Carnauba is actually in the Megs deep crystal, but if it's a high percentage then it will look good over the NXT coat. The reason you apply the NXT first is because it is better at sealing the paint, plus it will last a good amount of time (over a month give or take) as a opposed to only a pure carnauba wax which looks good with a "deeper" shine, but lasts only about 3 weeks or less. Thats why you use both. You get the longer protection of a sealant with the deep shine of carnauba. If theres any way you can attain it locally, I recommed S100 pure carnauba wax. Its originally made for motorcycles, but works just as well on cars... and goodness does it work well!

Oh and one more thing. When applying multiple coats of wax, it's good to let the first coat cure completely (in the case of Megs NXT, it's 24 hours) then apply your second coat.
