Default Decent over the counter wax?

So I had my 04 GT detailed a few weeks ago and the detailer put on some 100% P21s carnauba wax. My cars getting dirty now and I am about to wash it with some no-rinse and use some meguiars ultimate quick detailer. But I really want to get some more depth and shine out of the car, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good wax I can get my local store?

Can wax even be layered and mixed? Will I be able to use something else on top of my p21s? I've been hearing about this meguiars 2.0 NXT tech wax? Is it any good? Like the spray bottle one.


Thanks,
Brandon

Go to Autozon and get a bottle of Liq NXT 2.O put it on the car and then take it off. Then come back behind that and top it with Meg #26 and then take it off. I've used several combos for the past few years and this one realy got my attention. I just used it agian today. Impressive. You could put another coat of Optimum OID over that. That should give you some nice gloss and give you a great finish on your car.

You could top the NXT 2.0 with the P21S !

I like a carnauba wax as the final layer. The NXT is synthetic and I don't know if it has any cleaning properties. If it does, applying it will remove that wonderful P21 wax. []

i liked zymol as a good cleaner wax and it washes good. Black is very tough to keep clean though but on my red mach 1 zymol looked great.

Do you think I will get the best results of I just use both? I wanna use this wet obsession stuff but I keep getting refered back to this NXT stuff I just bought.


Oh also, If I have opened the NXT wax, is there a such thing as it expiring soon?
