Meguiar's NXT wax

Mountainmac · 01-18-2005, 06:39 AM

Holy Crap!!!! This stuff is incredible!!!!!!!

Now......... I have always been a 3M user for cleaning and then applying pure carnuba wax by hand (literally) - put some wax on my fingers and then gently rub into the paint - this also allowed me to feel any surfaces flaws.

Welll....I got a bug up my butt and decided to try this stuff....guess old age is setting in

Anyway, the shine on the spousal unit's smoke Titan is unbelievable...it is very, very deep and rich looking...Meguiar's has really come up with an excellent product - no I don't work for them - I do however, work tirelessly at keeping the spousal unit happy

You should try Klasse AIO & SG topped with Trade Secret carnuba wax!

I use the NXT on my '90 CRX-SiR, and people are always amazed how good it looks, let alone the fact it is 15 years old. And I have to confess, it smells great.

I use Zaino on my S2000, and have really been wondering what I might use on the Titan when I get it.

I like the NXT too. Good for my wax every-other month. I use Zaino for the yearly detail, but might switch to Klasse for that.

NXt is good, but it doesnt last in the elements like a true sealant would (Zaino or Klasse twins). Still good stuff.

I've had my Meguiars NXT on for about 4 months and it's holding up fine, although I did put 2 coats on. Maybe that helps??

I traditionally use Zaino - but when I bought my Ram Hemi on November 30th I didn;t really have time to strip it down and start the Zaino process - so I picked up some of the NXT and NXT booster wax, I must say it went on great and the truck looked the nutz when I was done. We had an unusual January 60 degree day last week so I hit it with a second coat and boosted it again when I was finished - holding up really well. I will still stick to Zaino when spring comes - but for the price NXT is great when your up against time & the weather.

Zaino makes a great product. The only downfall is it has to be warm to apply.
When I called them to ask a question he told me it can't dry enough to do it's job in the cold. So I bought something else. They are located about a half hour away from me in New Jersey.

Never heard of that stuff. I'll have to try it. I use the GOLD CLASS and have been happy with it.

Not bad for a Meguiars product.....I use Klasse twins, but I was very impressed with Meguiar's NXT spray wax after a warsh

You can wax your car in about 5 minutes. Keeps Klasse lookin good for a long time...

Please let me add my 2 cents......I have detailed hundreds of vehicles over the last 20 years. I have tried just about every wax, polish, sealant, etc. on the market. I even had a friend with a professional detail shop purchase "professional use only" items for me. But, I have recently tried an old wax my friend in the trucking industry showed me. It is Collinite's #845 Insulator Wax. It is manufactured for auto., marine, aeronautical and industrial use. They do have a website at www.collinite.com for online orders.
This is the best wax I have EVER used. They call it "detergent proof" and from what I have witnessed, it is. Goes on easy and comes off easy. I truely belive it will last for 6 months. Please beware that I did try the heavy duty version of this product (#476) and it is a bear to get off (remember Karate kid....wax on wax off??? He must have been using this heavy duty stuff. No pain no gain with this version. I do think if you have an entire day to use the heavy duty stuff it would be worth it.
I do not work for or sell Collinite wax but have used it with great success.
Try it for yourself and let me know what you think. I bought it at a local NAPA store in Somerset, Pennsylvania for $9.99 each.

I have used Collinite many times....Also very good wax and does last a long time...suface must be clean!!! Its like butter......smooth finish...

I'll tell ya, I used the nxt on my black Titan and WOOOWW!
It popped that metallic out.Purty!

The NXT spray wax (it also says booster wax on the bottle) gets some decent comments over at DetailCity.com.
We use the Klasse twins on both trucks - the all-in-one applied with a Porter Cable 7424. Klasse suggests applying a "sacrificial" layer of carnuba on top of the sealant glaze, which is a great suggestion given our winter sand and salt. I've used P21S or Malm's several times on top of the Klasse this year with great results.
This weekend I gave the spray NXT a try, eventhough it's not carnuba. I was very pleased with the results, especially how easy it was to use.
Of course getting these beasts clean enough to put anything on 'em (except more sand and salt) is the real challenge. That's a whole nother story.
Kudos to NXT spray.

I have heard good things about P21S and will try it this summer....I just got so much damd wax around....and P21S is $$$.....I like Klasse not just becuase of the durability and shine...becuase you can get it all over black trim and it will not turn it white....I have even heard of people putting it on windshields...anyone tried that?
