Cool Freshly detailed T/A

Hey guys I thought I would show off my detailing job....which consisted of

Mothers clay-bar used on entire car

3 coats Meguires NXT on car

Mothers wheel polish used on wheels and exhaust tips..

and of course meguires leather condidtioner, Purple tiger degreaser for under the hood, eagle tire shine applied with foam applicator, and rain-x on the windows..


Mainly just wanted to show the shine achieved on an arctic white car

Photo quality isn't that great but you get the idea...











And just a cool picture that I liked

I thought Meguires NXT wasn`t a "layerable" wax since it is a cleaner, and takes off the previous coat?

good to know that i don't need to layer it...lol

the first coat was last weekend when I gave her a nice protecting coat inclding the door jambs, under the hood, the hatch, wheel wells, etc.... then the other 2 coats were this weekend first one when my buddy was waxing his camaro, then he was taking so long I decided to give it another quick one... but now I know there is no need for the multi-coats!!!

Well you could always toss a layer on after washing, just to make sure it shines like a champ, but puting one coat on, then another isn't really necessary, but won't really hurt either

Looks good

Yeah, you could apply 2 coats to assure full/even coverage, but NXT has some slight abrasives and cleaners, so 3+ coats won't really make any progress.
