Collinite 476 over NXT??

Well, I think I messed up and after claying my car I applied Meguiar's NXT (one coat). I was really happy at first (extremely slick, nice finish). However, I misunderstood the durability/longevity of NXT.



It is now nearly Winter in Wisconsin, and I've been told that Collinite 476s is about as good as it comes to six month protection (to get me through the Winter).



If I were to re-clay my car again, would that remove the NXT so that I could apply the Collinite? Or, do I not need to worry about applying Collinite over the NXT? I've heard that NXT is a wax, and then I've heard that it's all synthetic and a sealant (and that it bonds to the paint rather than covering it).



Thanks for the help,

Yeah, u can go ahead & apply the Collinite over Nxt, no problem. I've done this many times. And the results & durability were great. :)



On the claying, since u just clayed. I think u can skip it for the time being. Unless u think tht u need to....? Run ur palm/fingers on the paint to feel its smooth or not? If its smooth then u can safely skip the claying. :)

Some do call NXT a wax but that term is used to describe a lot of products on the market. NXT is sealant using 'Engineered Synthetic Polymer' and claying your car will not get rid of the NXT or any 'wax' for that fact. Claying gets rid of bonded contaminants which can damage your finish but that is it. To remove the NXT you will need a cleaner and there are many to pick from.



Go ahead and apply your Collinite directly over the NXT as there should be no problem, and I am so glad I don’t need to know how to work a snow shovel.
