Gold class is an excellent product.
Go over the top with the nxt as long as the surface is smooth.
If not clay bar it first.

Thanks for the info,
Exactly as far as I know armor all protectant for tires etc. Is a killer to paint near.
Seen many shops that had major fisheye problems that used silicone containing products in their detail shops that where not even in the same area.
We use to sell fish eye Eliminator.
But most painters that had major issues with fisheyes in their paint preferred our house brand fisheye Eliminator
You guessed it straight liquid silicone that we bought in 5 gallon drums.
If you had a little silicone on the paint surface they would add this Ans it would flatten out the fisheyes.

Thanks again Jack. The car is smooth as silk. I clayed and waxed it and have had it clean since purchased new last year. (car cover even when in the garage) Sounds like the NXT will make a nice addition. As it is now the bug splats just wipe right off. I look forward to seeing how it works.

I am sure we are all running out of room to add the next best "thing" to our shelves. I vow to use everything up on my shelf before I buy anything else, and I already have NXT. My best protection is a little elbow grease and Mothers California Gold Hard Paste (no cleaner).

Looked like a good product from the video alone, but I have a hard time trusting Armor All products. I'm going to stick with what I trust.
