Question for you Detailing Gurus
Ok, last weekend I tried the NXT 2.0 on my wife's Fusion, and I will say it looks pretty good. I hand washed the car with Meg's Deep Crystal car wash, followed by Meg's clay bar, followed by Meg's Paint cleaner, followed by Megs polish, topped off with 2.0. Now, with all of these products on the car, and I did say it looked pretty good, and its smoother than ever before, but the products weren't as easy as everyone had made them out to be. The 2.0 went on great, hazed up, but when I used the microfiber towel to remove it, it left what appeared to be dark spots throughout the car, so I followed it up with a once over with the Quickdetailer by Meg's, and they were gone. My question is this... I used Zaino on my old car, 96 Trans Am, jet black... and it was easier than putting tireshine on... from step 1 to finish... and I could do this in the direct sunlight on the black car... I'm thinking about switching to Zaino, but is there any tips someone can give me before I waste all of the Meg's product? I would like to put on another coat to her car this weekend, but I don't want to deal with the uneven dark spots again...
Thanks in advance...

You have to wait for the wax to dry, not just haze.

Correct. If you're too lazy to read the link. All you do is wait 10-20 minutes. Take a clean finger and swipe it against the finish. If there is no smudge, oily residue etc than it's ready for removal. If it leaves some haze, smudge, oily residue etc than you need to wait longer. Warm climates usually take 10 minutes and wet climates around 15-20 minutes.

As I branch out from just solely using Megs, Ive come to realize that there are a lot of great products out there made by different companies. It all depends on what works best for you and what results you want. Some like Megs, some like PB, some like Mothers, some like Adams, its all opinion and all based on personal opinion. No ones right and no ones wrong. Stick with what works best for you.

the two main things to concern yourself with when applying the NXT.
1. THIN and EVEN application.
2. Allow to properly cure prior to removal. this could be 15 minutes to 45 or even longer, depending on conditions like temp and humidity.
issues with either one of those steps can lead to the things you experienced.
