Well I only have 2 coats of Meguires NXT paste wax on the car. I used a clay bar before waxing the car. Turned out pretty good. Very reflective. Unfortunately the only pic that shows just how good it looks I am not allowed to post, since my wife is in it and she refuses to let me posts pics that she is in :bang:
I also chopped the antenna down to 12" today. If only my side louvers had arrived.....

I prefer to use Meguirs NXT because it is one step instead of all the mixing and multi-step process used when using Zaino. It is easy to get and it is cheaper and the main thing, it gives you a great shine.

Are the stripes painted on or vinyl decals? I'm going to order the boss hood stripe from graphics-express, but am wondering how waxing them affects their durability. I would think waxing over them would be beneficial...

I'm going for a sort of Boss look with the hood stripe, chin spoiler, rear louvers and black rear wing. Haven't yet decided on the side stripes (the L shaped "Boss" or the C stripe), but I think it will look good on my Torch Red. Since I'm adding real hood pins and the quicklifts for the hood, I'm just going to have a body shop do it all for me. Hopefully all done in the next 30 days.

your car looks amazing great shine!!
i have used 4 coats of Zaino on my first Stang, and now that I have the second I will be using the Meguires NXT and will be able to compare them side by side.
I love the Zaino--but I hate ordering it..I like to be able to run to the store and pick up the Meguires...

First off - adrenalin, your car looks amazing...
I've been using Mothers & Meguires products for years. I currently have 2 coats of Meguires paste on the yellow stang. Last night, we picked up the NXT...
Question: should I start from scratch - wash the car with dawn and claybar before doing 1st coat of NXT?
