Default extra gloss protection?? when?

hi all,

some advice, i have a blue scoob.
i recently bought some meguiars nxt car shampoo and nxt wax because it came quite highly recommended. i have also bought some auto glym extra gloss protection (gold). i have heard that if you apply the extra gloss after the shampoo and then apply the nxt wax you get a longer shinier protective coat. is this true? recommended? or should i just stick to the usual routine of wash, wax and then extra gloss protection??

what do you recommend??

cheers guys.

AG EGP mate is a sealant,

It should ideally applied after a polish or a glaze to seal the paint, then apply a wax over the top.

I really like AG EGP or Poorboys EX-P, both are nice sealants to use with great results

If anything id just do the wash and NXT cos the NXT does have some sealing abilities.

If you use the EGP you will be sealing in crap that needs removing if you know what i mean.

Ideally you want to.

Wash
Clay
Polish
Glaze
Sealant
Wax
