Well, I've been using the Meguiar's Next Generation Tech Wax 2.0. Does that have sealant in it?

That's an LSP (Last Step Process) aka wax...though synthetic, if you want, add a coat of #21 (Meguiars on top)...
But as far as Sealants go, I like the Wolfgang, and Chemical guys ones quite well. Although the CG jetseal is quite $$ (about 38.00 for 16 oz) and I think 278 or 348 a gallon

NXT 2.0, like #21, is a sealant.

It is?
Mike however suggests using #21 to prolong its life (@ meguiars)

Also per Mike Phillips RE: NXT 2.0 vs. M21
t's basically the same product, the formula for M21 has been tweaked so that it can be applied using a rotary buffer which means it's been tweaked so that it can be subjected to higher temperatures and still perform well as a rotary buffer generates heat fairly quickly.

For all practical purposes NXT2.0 = #21

I use a Makita and Porter Cable(I bought the Makita first; then bought a PC)..I use the PC for bumpers/ painted plastic cladding on cars/ Pillars and other areas where paint is usually thinner... To be honest I don't use my PC very much it vibrates a lot (just the nature of a DA). I love the smoother Makita

I was using NXT1.0 and topping it with (runs to go check spare bedroom).... 21 on top of that..but I think my 21 is the older formula...
Jim is 2.0 much better than 1.0?
I know durability is much improved? I instead opted to go Natty's blue

Much improved. I used to get some streaking with the 1.0 versions of both NXT and #21 when it was really humid. With the 2.0 version I never get any streaking.

With NXT 2.0, the freshly waxed look now lasts for months and so does the water beading.

Now the question is, is it safe to use NXT Tech Wax 2.0 on a 7424 PC?

If you're asking if it safe to apply NXT 2.0 with a PC the answer is yes. I do it all the time with a finishing pad at speed 3. It lays down a very nice thin and even coat.
