Meguiar's Scratch X = Life Saver
Well,
I have had my Black XLT for about 6 Months and being that it's black I try to keep it scratch free. But..... We went up to the cabin and the trees decided to reach out a say hello. Needless to say, the truck was covered in scratches. So this morning I washed it and used Scratch X, Once that was done I waxed it with Meguiars NXT and the truck is scratch free and looking great. If anyone has any scratches i highly recommend the combo of scratch X and NXT.

NXT is a synthetic type wax, thus it offers MUCH greater durability and protection. Its characteristics are a more suran wrap look (VERY glossy), has light cleaners and abrasives, and has light fillers. It is a great "beginner" type product, and TBH, though I have some fancy sealants, I occasionally find myself pulling this stuff out.
Gold Class is a carnauba based wax, thus it has a LOT more depth, but suffers a pretty short lived protection factor. It is VERY good for topping a sealant with in that it REALLY brings out flake, deepens colors, removes the suran look, etc.
Moral to the story: Get NXT, use it, wait about 12 hours, QD, then do GC on top of it. This will ensure protection AND fantastic looks.
That said, I would reccommend reading the sticky if you havent, claying if you havent, and possibly looking into a defect removal step (if you are serious about getting into this).
HTH, and Good luck!
