The problem with synthetics is that it goes on so thin (but is still protecting) that unless you *really* layer it you just won't get that depth that you get with carnauba. And that comes from the thickness of the layer(s).
Actually, my truck is Emerald and it looks much better with NXT. It looks much deeper and darker. Everyone that's seen it says the same thing, the NXT looks much better.
