Caranuba then NXT sealant or vise versa?
So what is better to do...this was my order to use this weekend:
-Pinnacle Super Fine Swirl Remover
-Pnnacle Wax Glaze (Caranuba)
-NXT Sealant
Is this right or should I reverse the Caranuba and NXT so it looks like this?
-Pinnancle Super Fine Swirl Remover
-NXT Sealant
-Pinnacle Wax Glaze (Caranuba)
What you think?????
-Pinnacle Super Fine Swirl Remover
-Pnnacle Wax Glaze (Caranuba)
-NXT Sealant

I believe the first combo is correct.
Most glazes have some type of paint cleaner, whether it be strong or weak. Glazes just act as a way to clean off the paint from residue leftover by polishing. I would actually rather use a Caranuba paste wax after the glaze to maintain the shine. NXT is more for durability purposes and I typically use that in the winter months. If you can get your hands on a good Caranuba Paste Wax, I'd do that.

Actually, you want to seal first with NXT, then use the Caranuba wax on top of that (24 hours after applying NXT).
This is from Meguiars themselves..(go to their forums and you'll find a thread on "topping NXT")

The Pinnacle carnauba finishing glaze is an odd product. It contains fairly strong cleaners, oils to act as a glaze and also carnauba wax. I wouldn't use this product over NXT as the strong cleaners would remove the NXT.
Most glazes contain neither cleaners nor wax. Like #7 Show Car Glaze or #81 Professional Hand Glaze for example. "NXT bonds well over a glaze or a carnauba so I'd use NXT Tech Wax as a final.
Typically, you'd only want to top a sealant (NXT) with a pure carnauba, one with no cleaners.

Never try and apply a polymer sealant over wax because it won't bond properly. If you want to put a wax over a sealant, you can do that but it would be for purely appearance purposes as the wax will not last anywhere near as long as the sealant.
If I were you, I'd get everything off with a cleaner and start over again.

Pinnacle Super fine swirl remover
-Pinnacle Glaze w/ carnauba
-LSP*
Last Step Product, usually a wax like Pinnacle Souveran or any type of paste wax w/ carnauba.. Although the glaze contains carnauba, its meant to be topped with a carnauba wax.
