You may be right there. I have been waiting 24hours between coats so I am not sure how well the NXT builds up, but it sure is buttery smooth and shiny.

Agreed. In my opinion, more layers of the same wax would only ensure proper coverage. I try to not go over 2 from what I've learned. After so many layers, it'll just be not noticeable.

This is with only one layer of Pinnacle Liquid Souveran, that was applied two weeks ago and it has rained twice with thunderstorms since then:




So yeah, I recommend the Supreme Guzzler from Cobra: http://www.autogeek.net/cobra-waffle-weave.html

Curious, have you used this product to even challenge that it will scratch the surface?
Yes, I have two of them but I noticed they were marring my finish and put them away. I got into fine microfibers for detailing and realized the performance was better.
