Question The correct way of adding two coats of NXT?

I'm going to wax this weekend and would like to add 2 coats. Do I wax and remove the first coat then repeat or do I leave the wax on and overlap them? I love the smell of it BTW and wish there was NXT cologne.

It's the same as adding two layers of polish to boots. Wax then buff then wax on and wax off again.

I am going to have to see a CS after the 2 coats of NXT. It makes my SS ZR look so dang good man. Makes it darker it seems - so beautiful. I was just dazed lookin' at my car and my gf elbowed the hell out of me lol. She said it is almost as if I was looking at another woman. I told her I was and I noticed your butts were about the same - nice, big and had a nice curve.

These two are GREAT threads on this topic on Meguiar's site. Read the comments by Mike Phillips, the online technical adviser for Meguiar's. Excellent reading.

Keep in mind that after the second or third coat NXT generally starts to strip itself off, since it has mild cleaners.

Agree. NXT is a one-step cleaner-wax. It works by removing old wax, and putting down a thin layer of new wax. Multiple coats of NXT (or any one-step) is self-defeating.

Wait 12 hours before applying the second layer.

I called Meguires and while they say its a cleaner wax, you can layer it just like normal wax, they told me to use a No. 7 Glaze then NXT. I have to say it works well.
