Not sure that works as you expect. Both NXT and Gold Class have mild cleaning properties. Given that and the fact that you didn't let the NXT sit for the recommended 24 hours it's likely most of it was removed when you applied the Gold class. I also use NXT as a base coat -- it is technically a sealant not a wax. But I top it with Meguiar's Yellow #26. 26 has no cleaners or polishing agents so it is less likely to take off previous coats.

You really can't layer waxes with polishing agents or cleaners in them. In fact, even with non cleaning/polishing waxes not all of them are capable of being layered over each other. It has a lot to do with whether the solvents to soften the wax (and all waxes have some solvents in them) in one will dissolve the base layer when applied.
