just tried the NXT Tech Wax last week ( got it at RM85.00 ) . I must say that it is one of the best wax i ever use . the application on and off the paint job is easy . the gloss is very deep with my black paint looking slightly darker after wax.
The shop owner told me that for a even deeper shine and darker shade effect on my cosmo black job , i should apply another layer of gold class wax to finish the waxing job.
Anyone tried this before ?

Which product did you use specifically?
Assuming you polished the car manually without the use of a rotary, it should be relatively dust-free and depending on the product used and factoring the location that you're detailing your ride (i.e. dusty area = rinse required) you could skip the rinsing portion. Again, it depends.
Some polishes are engineered to be abrasive whilst others work as a filler (i.e. fine polish) so washing it would negate their function as a filler. What you would want to avoid is trapping dust and dirt under a layer of wax.
If you've just used a product like Meguiar's Scratch-X then feel free to give the car a thorough rinse before waxing.

Wax only works well on a well-prepared surface. If you've got moderate to heavy oxidation, watermarks and a generally scarred surface, no wax in the world is gonna help that.
Surface preparation is the key to a proper paintwork finish. Not the waxes. If the correct and complete detailing techniques are applied, the car would already have a good shine, pre-waxing. Too many places wax lyrical (pun intended) on their last-step/wax products but it's not something I'd put too much focus on. Waxes/sealants are basically added protection for your clear-coat and should be treated as such. Don't expect it to give your car an instant makeover or you'll be disappointed.
Take it from me. I work on these things daily... :lol:
