Mixing waxes
I have 2 partial bottles of Meguiar’s waxes. One is NXT 2.0 Tech Wax and the other is Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Yellow wax #26. Getting ready to wax wife’s car and apply wax with DA Buffer; can I mix both waxes in the same bottle to apply? I can’t see any obvious problems in doing this, but you guys are the experts, so I thought I’d ask.
This is for a 2010 Lexus ES-350 with paint in very good condition.
Thanks,

Re: Mixing waxes
obviously you can but what are your thoughts for doing it?
I haven't used either product but durability of the nxt sealant has generally been panned on here. If you are hoping to get better durability by adding the #26, then I'm not sure if that's how it works.
I added 845 to poliseal recently and while I think durability will improve, I can't say anything with certainty until after my testing is complete. It's been about 3 weeks now, so I'll be getting some results soon.
You might be better off just going with the #26 unless you want to do a 50/50 test...
I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

Re: Mixing waxes
My main reason in mixing them is just to finish them off. I have tons of waxes around and like most, I'm always looking for the perfect wax. Never was all that impressed with NXT, thinking of giving Wolfgang a try. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
I've used P21S, Blitz, Collinite, (all), etc.
Thanks,
Jim

Re: Mixing waxes
They are two completely different products. One is purely synthetic the other contains carnuba. I would use one, and then the other, but I wouldn't combine them together. I am not a chemist, and I don't play one on this forum, but both products are easy enough to use. I can't see a benefit of combining them.

Just lazy, don't want to have to change out the pads. Thought I'd just mixed them together, apply to pad, and hit it.

Re: Mixing waxes
Both of those products are so easy to use, just apply by hand, save yourself the hassle of using the machine.
