Default Blackfire over NTX?

Just got my TA clayed, polished and NTX put over it. I really want to use Blackfire on the car. Can I put that over the NTX or do I have to wash it with dawn to strip the NTX and then apply the Blackfire? Thanks for any and all assistance!

Maybe a S100 or something else over the NTX? Interested more in Looks then duriablity (car is garaged and covered-only used on sunny warm days).

S100 would be a great topper for NXT.

That's because Zaino is very durable! I can wash my car a million times, and it never goes anywhere!

Not worrying about the durablity of the product, just gotta look as good as possiable. I've used Zaino before but the shine seem to fade after a couple of months. I reapplyied and it brought it back. Just heard S100 bring out the color in a Flame red like my car has.

Question, How many coats of S100 over the NXT? 2? 3?

#16 or #26 would be good toppers for NXT.

FWIW, I've got 2 coats of NXT on my car right now, and after a month and several storms/washings, the car still looks AWESOME! I use Meguiars Last Touch as a quick detailer, maybe once a week/two weeks.

Prior to the latest coat of NXT, I had 2 coats on it over 2 months, still beading like crazy. I'm getting awesome durability AND awesome looks out of NXT!

Humm Im very happy with the NXT even over the Zaino I was using before (car is flame red). I think Im going to apply another coat of NXT and deepen it alittle. Thanks for everyone's input!
