How do you get it done then Justin? You must be a magic man!

LOL!!!

1. I use a swirl remover. #82,#80, #9 etc. Usually with EDGE 2K Yellow pad set at #5.
2. Next, I use a glaze, if needed, like #7 or #3. I normally skip this step if I use #80, it has polishes and oils built in. Also only do this if the customer is wanting to pay for this extra step. I charge 50.00. I like to use EDGE 2k Blue pad set at #3.
3. I top the 2nd step with 2 coats of NXT Liquid Tech Wax. I use the EDGE 2K White Finishing pad since it lays down and nice THIN coat. I let the first coat sit and dry for 30 minutes remove by hand. Here's a MUST for NXT. 2nd coat, let dry for 30 and remove by PC (G-100 in my case) with MF bonnet set at #5. This where I get a major color depth.
4. For the ultimate protection and POP, I finish up with coat of #26 Yellow Wax. This is the best 10 bucks you'll ever spend. Using the EDGE 2K White Pad again (they are 2 sided!!!), I lay it down with a #3 setting letting it work into the paint. I let dry for ONE hour and remover with a MF bonnet at the #5 setting. I now finish up with a Final Inspection wipe-down.

Thanks guys.
Hopes this any good to you.

Very nice! How do you persuade them that a glaze is worth 50 bucks?! And what we were wondering is, since NXT has cleaners, doesn't it clean the previous layer that you just laid down? 2 sided edge pads sound VERY nice.
