Default NXT Tech Wax is Amazing!

I thank all those here who recommended it. Friday I applied it in preparation for StuCruz. It went on and came off easier than any wax I've ever used. The car looked amazing but tonight after washing it I couldn't believe how good it looked and how easy it was to wash and dry. All rubber, tar, bugs, etc. came off with minimal effort and when I wiped the car down it was dry immediately and the shine was like I've never seen on my car. It still looked wet. The Torch Red has never been deeper. I highly recommend it!

I like it too. But it does not seem to last very long.

I agree - I'm a NXT convert from Zaino.

I still think that Zaino gives a better shine than NXT but the sheer ease of application (no mixing/curing/wasting expensive product because you mixed too much) is what has sold me. I still keep the Zaino around and use it as the second or third coat when I want that extra, extra deep finish.

BTW - your car looks great!

I agree with the NXT stuff. I also have a torch red and I've been using the NXT for about 4 months. The stuff lasts a long time in my experience. I also use their detailing spray. That stuff works well too.

Looks great

Now that is has cured atleast 24 hrs...run...drive...fly to your auto parts store and get some Meguires yellow #26. This is pure carnuba wax and can be layered on top of the NXT. Do 2 coats at least. You will flip at the results. It adds another layer of WOW. You car will drip!!! As well, it will make the NXT job last way longer.

For real, don't think about it, just do it.

Peace

I have never felt stock paint feel sooooo smooth. I'm a convert as well. It still seems to like dust though.

I knew about the NXT, but did not think about the #26 trick. I am also a convert from Zaino just for ease of application and no mixing.

Thanks for the tip.

I JUST finished spending a couple of productive hours using NXT on my Torch Red coupe and the results are simply amazing. I thought it was shiny before and wanted to see what difference, if any, it would make. WOW. Great stuff...
