Ok, so you're saying NXT tech wax and the 21 are both sealants?

 

WOW! That was long. I think it took me 2 days to finish. lol.

 

Yeah, when the term synthetic polymer is used its classified as a sealant.

 

ok, so I can apply 21 like a wax then (as in I don't have to put a wax over it like klasse AIO)? sorry for all the questions, I'm a detailing n00b

 

Klasse aio is a chemical (as opposed to abbrassive) polish that leaves behind some acrylic protection and helps clean the paint so waxes and sealants can bond to it better. Normally people recommend klasse sealant glaze on top of aio and they're sold as "twins" but klasse sg is kinda hard to apply imo and can be streaky so aio is more popular.

So aio would be used as to clean the paint and light oxidation and then a sealant or wax can go over it depending on what look vs durability you want. Aio would be the base, topped by either 21 or a straight carnuba wax. Nxt is good but it has a lot of cleaning ability so it might take off some of the aio's protection each time you use it. I personally use Collinite insulator wax or fourstar ultimate paint protection as a last step product cause they last very long and can be topped with a carnuba wax like poorboys nattys once in awhile.

If you have questions feel free to hit me up on aim: wingless mbp
