one will be just fine, unless you want to apply 1 then wait 24hrs and apply another but apply them very light

NXT has cleaning abilities, so layering it won't get you anywhere.

The only thing extra coats will provide is making sure you got 100% coverage.

ZaneO is pretty much correct. After about 2 or 3 coats max the shine wont get any better because every coat removes a portion of the previous. You can make the wax shine a little more by adding another coat but there’s no need to go crazy, your better off saving the wax and your time.

If you want more layers, try the spray booster wax. No cleaners.

Yes, it is NXT Spray Wax Booster. It doesn't work like a quick detailer. If you are wanting extra protection, I suggest getting a good carnauba wax as a topper. Something like Meguiar's #16 or S100 (found at your local Harley store). This will give you added protection, along with added depth and wetness.

I recently Switched to NXT and was using Zaino. I use the NXT because its a diffrent look, cheaper, easier to apply, and eaiser to buy. I Bought the NXT wax paste, and the spray bottle. I thought it was the booster wax but it's not it's some other quick wax in a spray bottle. My question is, is the NXT spray wax just as good as the NXT paste?


Here's my proud and growing collection of chemicals

No, it is the booster wax. The NXT line is made of the paste wax, the liquid wax, the spray booster wax that you bought, and the spray vinyl protectant. You have to be careful buying the sprays, because the packaging is nearly identical.

There is no NXT paste wax. Just liquid and spray booster.

And the NXT wash. Yeah, Zaneo is right, there is no NXT paste. I don't know what the Hell that guy bought in a paste.
