LSP compatibility with NXT

[Keith357]

Hello all, new guy here.



I've got a black 2004 Mustang GT, and am cursing the decision to buy a black car, however nothing looks better cleaned and waxed, though.



I'm new to the detailing work, but from some reading, I bought some NXT to start with.



I used the deep crystal polish first, then the NXT. I'd like to top that with something, but I'm not sure what waxes out there are cleaner-free and compatible with the NXT coat.



So let's hear what will get along with NXT as a LSP. How about something like #16 or #26?



Thanks!

#16, S100, #26 and Collinte 845-the collinite has a glossy look and IMO the s100 has a softer look-never used 16 or 26-also Mothers pure carnauba paste

Those will work along with many others including Poorboy's Natty's wax, but for the ultimate (but a bit expensive) look on black you may want to try Souverän:

clay that black paint first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S100 is very nice over NXT.

Keith,



Personally, I would not top NXT.



Rather than using another product to top it, I would just apply additional coats of NXT about once a month. That will keep your black car looking good by giving you more consistant coverage, while providing plenty of protection between re-applications.

Frank makes a good suggestion, NXT looks pretty darn good on its own. However, if you feel you must top NXT, #16 seems to work the best because it doesn't really change the NXT look, it just adds some additional 'wetness' to it.

I agree with Scott. If you're not going to re-apply NXT every month or so, then I would also go with the #16 as it does add a measure of wetness, especially with black paint.

I agree with Scott & Frank

I agree with Scott & Frank

Wow, lots of good help. Thanks guys.



There's something to be said about the relaxation in working on the car. A coat of NXT every month wouldn't be a big deal to do.



As I get more into the hobby, I'll be trying more combinations of different products. Thanks again!

Agreed!



S100 is very reflective and looks great on black.

the NXT boster wax works well if sprayed on a microfiber and wiped on the car-let haze-and wipe off-easy and nice gloss-some have had streaking issues in colder weather tho

I applied two coats of NXT on a metallic smoke E320 and then topped it with a coat of 3M Show Car Paste Wax. It actually made the color a little darker. I liked the look a lot, but that's just me.
