Yep, put my first coat of NXT 2.0 on my car a couple of weeks ago and it looks fantastic! You can definitely see the difference between NXT 2.0 and the original formula. The new stuff buffs off even easier too, and everyone who was beta testing it last year reports it lasts way longer too.

Just bought the #26 last week under the advice of Todd, I like it better than the NXT2.0
I want to try Zaino, but not sure what to start with, maybe the Z-AIO?

Dead on the money. I'd add a good claybaring in the very front of that line up.

Wash and claybar the car first to remove any and all contamination, then use MIP (Menzerna Intensive Polish) for any swirls and haze, then Zaino PC (Fusion) to finish it down and gloss it up while cleansing the paint and any lubes left from the Menzerna, then Zaino Z5 to seal and protect it for a long time.

Nice collection Todd.

I use Meguaires products on my cars.

JW Prime and Prime Strong are polishes aren't they

Glad to hear you agree.
I plan on doing this process again sometime this winter w/PC.

I've always been a big Meguiar's fan, and that's what I use on the Vette. Usually #80, followed by a coat of NXT, all machine applied. I'm really pleased with the results. I use #82 by hand to remove stubborn stains and some scratches.

I've also used Zaino on other vehicles where I prefer a polymer because they don't get waxed as often.

Patman

If you're a Meguiar's fan, why not use their #21 synthetic sealant too? It's a polymer based sealant I believe. It certainly is very durable, it'll last many months. That's what I was using before I switched over to NXT 2.0.

Zaino gets my vote. And for an abrasive swirl remover I use either Zaino ZPC, Menzerna or 3M.

IAIA

Menzerna SIP and FP, Zaino ZPC on the swirls.
Z5P, Z2P, Z-CS for sealing.

"Z" belongs on the "Z"

That was a good one Silverspeed!

Zaino here. I use Mequires stuff for heavy swirl removal and finish that process with Zaino PC Fusion.
