I called meguires this weekend and they said to use No.7 Showtime Glaze then NXT and I have to say that came out beautifully. When ever i tell people how many miles i have they do a double take.

It's actually my second one. This time I had it follow the contour of the trunk lid because on the first one, it looked like it was leaning downward. If you put it on a straight line next to a curved surface, it tends to look like it's leaning. But thanks for noticing.

i usually use the meguiars deep crystal polish (step 2 one) and then NXT. The #7 showcar glaze is better but harder to use

That was my initial impression. However, I read the instructions duh, and it says "do not allow product to dry." After doing that, shoot it comes off like butter and looks great.

Wax it right away, keep it protected since the nissan paint sucks.

It takes about 2 hours to wax a car thoughroughly (spelling..lol). Honestly it takes me lnoger to clean inside the car then clean and wax the outside.

So the no 7 showcar glaze comes off easily? I read somewhere (i think autopia) that even if you take it off before it dries it's pretty hard to work with. If its easy to take off then i'll probably pick some up next time
