Default 2 Coats of NXT, Worth it?

I'm waxing my car right now, and I usually use 1 coat of NXT after a wash and claybar. Is it worth going to two or not really?

I dont think you can layer NXT, I use it too but Ive never tried to layer it. I doubt you can.

NXT has some cleaners/abrasives, so layering is limited.

Ill admit NXT does not last long, and Im fine with that. I use the booster wax to keep it going and it never rains here so I can keep a coat of wax going for quite a while. But its one of the best looking waxes Ive used, and Ive used a lot. I think it works particularly well for dark colored metallic cars. Thats just my opinion of course.

Yea, it does have a short lifespan, but I usually do Meguiars 3-Step System every 6 months, and then just NXT every month or 2. It is very easy to use and looks good on my 135k paint. Guess you guys saved me a coat, thanks!

yes it has cleaners but you can still layer it. anything over 2-3 layers is unnecessary.
mine seemed to look a little deeper with two layers.
