I'd try the Detailing forum (off of the Mustang Forums)  Some good stuff there, but onederfull's post was the most helpful....A picture say a thousand words.

if you want to add another coat, it will look even better.  i will add another coat tomorrow too.

If the NXT has any cleaner/polishing components, another coat will only replace what's on the car.
"Eliminates fine scratches and swirls" is in the product description and makes me question if it contain cleaning elements.

A synthetic wax topped with a pure carnauba will not remove what you have and should add even more depth to your black paint.  

My car has one coat of Wet Wax (carnauba liquid wax by Obsessive Detail, site sponsor.)

the paint sealant was from pacpro a local detailing shop, i dont think it's anything special.  you could probly find a good one at a detailing shop where you live.  i think the paint sealant adds the depth, and the guy there said you could layer it w/ coats for more depth, some people put on 10+ coats of it.

and margarita girl may have a point w/ that cleaner wax issue and it replacing the old wax layer.  but it does dry to dull haze which makes me think that it will add another coat.  but i will do it and see if it makes a difference.  and try that carnuba layer on top too and see how it looks.

obsessive detail is great site, and autogeeks is another good site too.
and margarita girl, your car looks very shiny and wet looking, thanks for the carnuba detailing tip.

margarita girl, I didnt care for the wet obsession from obsessive detail.  I use a bunch of his products and I love them.  In fact I have it listed in the classifieds for sale, discounted, of course.  I'm going to try the NXT tomorrow.  We'll, not happy with my new cars' shine yet.

Make sure the NXT bottle has 2.0 on it . The newest formula....I guess. I use and like it. I still take Turtle wax Ice  for a quick extra shine when at a car cruise/show.

Looks good!! Two questions: 1) The paint sealant, is this something you did or did you have it applied at a place that does it?
2) Is Meguire's NXT a product that leaves no white dust or white marks on mouldings?

jet21- I can't answert  q#1 for you, but on number 2 I wouldn't let ANY wax touch black moulding (unless it's painted black of course).  Some folks had told me NXT was fine over black plastic, but they were definitely wrong! 

People have all sorts of crazy recommendations to get wax off black plastic, but it's far better to NOT get it on in the first place...

after reading this thread today I had to try it. Till now I would just use the NuFinish polish and it looked just fine..
But after sweating my butt off for about 3 hours of washing and waxing here's how it looks like.







Pretty damn shiny.. My BlackBerry pearl is not doing justice to the shine.. But just so everyone that has not bought this product can get an idea..
It's awsome. !
