NXT is a mild cleaner type sealant that has limited durability compared to the others out there. I prefer to mechanically remove my swirls then protect my car with a decent sealant.

I use the NXT paste wax and am very happy with it, I don't think there is a better off the shelf retail store wax available. I also use the NXT spray detailer and metal polish, but do prefer the Gold Class wash. I tried the NXT spray wax and that stuff was junk. I think the paste wax applies and removes incredibly easily. I use only microfiber towels on my car. As already mentioned, it is not super durable so I reapply a few times throughout the summer, but the additional shine is worth the bit of extra work IMO.

Here are some pics I just took today, for the past 2 summers the car has only been dusted, spray detailed, washed, and waxed. I've used no other types of polishes, claybars, etc. soley due to not wanting to invest the time (but I have it all sitting here).

Started out using the NXT. Easy to work with and a great shine. Like others have said a great off the shelf wax that lacks the durability of Klasse or some of the others.
I use the Klasse AIO with the sealant applied by hand. Have recently tried topping with P21S.
End result is I will stick with the Klasse for added durability. To my eyes I do not see any added benefit in topping with the P21S.

i think for being synthetic wax, it attracts dust. i also prefer gold class over nxt.

Laying on more than a coat or two of NXT won't make a difference since it has mild cleaners in it. Instead, top it off with multiple coats of P21S.
you layer synthetics, not carnaubas.

let me rephrase it...

you CAN layer both synthetics and carnaubas...but for carnaubas, it is almost pointless. layering synthetics will give a deeper/3D look. with carnauba, not so much.
