Talking FBP with Two coats of NXT

OK after two coats of NXT here’s my baby in all its glory. My camera sucks so these are the best of the best that came out.

so does 2 coats mean you waxed twice?

word on the meguiars forums shows that after extensive research 2 coats of nxt does nothing for extra protection and durability.

it does add minimal shine.

I just used NXT Tech Wax on my car today for the first time. It looks nice, has great slippery-ness and it was pretty easy to put on and take off (Porter Cable FTW)

We'll see tomorrow how great it shines on an alabaster silver, its too dark outside to tell right now.

Is it because it is a cleaner type wax? I plan to put four coats next time I wax

yea its not really the type of wax you keep topping and adding layers.

layering doesnt do much to the nxt.

4 coats is overkill on just straight caranuba on the other hand 4 coats of zaino is just a start

I disagree. After the second coat it is considerably different. Maybe it's the Fiji color but the second coat had a deeper shine and wetness.

Before I did the whole car I put five coats on the spoiler. With each coat it had a better shine. I decided to do two coats as it looked great and does. It's still all shiny in my garage waiting to be driven.

Heads were turning yesterday at how shinny my car was

I'm not one to spend all day on my car thats why I like NXT. You get the look of multiple coats of other waxes with only one coat. This time I just wanted to do two. Won't do it again. Too much work.
