I used Zaino forever...recently tried Pinnacle and like the results. Seemed as good with less effort. Will have to see if as durable. :beatdeadhorse: :lurk:

I was a Zaino freak until I tried the new NXT polish. Makes the red really stand out even more :reddevil

I've used Meguiar's Gold and the new NXT product, side by side on the hood. Couldn't tell a bit of difference, but the NXT sure was easy to remove (and no residue).

Bought mine at Auto Zone. I think it was about $16/bottle. Just make sure you don't overlook it. It's not packaged like other Meguiar's products (different color pkg./shape).

I've used Meguiar's Gold and the new NXT product, side by side on the hood. Couldn't tell a bit of difference, but the NXT sure was easy to remove (and no residue).
On a properly prepared finish, the NXT will fill in cobweb-effect better than Gold Class.



One coat of NXT with the Sun dean-on the center of the hood, no cobweb-effect, crystal clear, high gloss results.

Most waxes look good in the garage, or under a tree, or in the morning, or at night, or on a cloudy day. Test your results in full sun. That's the test.

Used NXT and the results were spectacular. Very easy to take off too.

Tried the NXT on the TR Corvette yesterday and it looks great. Applied it over several coats of Zaino. I think Pinnacle and NXT are neck and neck for the watery deep look. Looking forward to trying some of the Wolfgang samples I won. The only remaining question will be the durability.
Looks like I'll be gathering my Zaino for a giveaway.
