How long does it take you to...
Me personally I don't use a porter cable, but am looking into one. I have spent 10 hours one day detailing my car. I hit 55k on the clock and thought it was time for an overhaul. I washed it 3x, then clayed it. I polished the whole car 2 times, which the second probably did nothing, but oh well. Then I waxed the car 2x as well, and like mentioned earlier, didn't layer, but satisfied me well. Then I moved onto the interior cleaning each air vent with q-tips, detailing ever spot. Steam vacced the carpets, cleaned the leather. Then cleaned the door jams, and truck spots. Yeah it was a very very long day, but man did it shine

They taught me the correct way to apply the #26 via a PC. If you do it right, #26 is a lot easier to remove if you used a PC to apply it. I always use my hands a fresh microfiber to remove the wax. A PC applies #26 a lot thinner and more evenly and I find it extremely easy to remove...almost like butter.

should have clarified my post .. I was giving osvaldo advice based on his experience level .. didn't mean to indicate that was the way I was doing it .. simply that he would probably find it easier doing it by hand, since he has very little experience with a PC.also, #83 is a very difficult product to get the proper results out of using a PC.. it is a borderline rotary only product (the guys @ meg's go back and forth on whether to change their recommendation to rotary only for it), and would not be my first suggestion for a PC newbie. He will probably get better results with two applications of #80 than he will with one of #83 due to his experience level.
as for two coats of NXT, vs two coats of #26 .. it all depends on what you are looking to achieve .. NXT is a little to plastic looknig for me, and topping it with a pure carnuba has a tendancy to deepen the color, and get rid of the plastic look, furthermore, a carnuba on top of a synthetic provides loner lasting protection than simply a carnuba.
the two coats thing has nothing to do with layering, because, as already mentioned earlier by Zane, NXT has come mild cleaners in it, so you won't get any layering benefits from it. t he two coats is simply to ensure even, total coverage.
