Default Just Clay and NXT?

Greetings all!

I just got a 2007 IS350 and am in love. Its Tungsten Pearl and the paint is in very good shape. I do not think any correction is necessary, but I want to get some wax on the car.

So, my question is do you think it would be OK to just clay and put a coat of NXT on it? Or would you recommend some other steps?

Thanks!

If you can, use a fine clay if you don't plan on doing any polishing. Minimize scratches and swirls from the clay.

I think your approach would be fine. I'd suggest using Meguiar's Ultimate Wax rather that their NXT V2 as it will last longer and is slicker. Frankly, I see it as the eventual replacement of NXT in their product line.

Ultimate wax is the way to go as far as OTC waxes are concerned.
