To the OP, I used to use NXT wash but they stopped selling it locally. Now I use Gold Class, and it's just as good if not better.

I think they say that, when you just let it dry on its own. I dont do that, i use a leaf blower to dry our cars, then go over it with a microfiber, and quick detailer to make sure there are no water spots.

NXT smells good to me and it used to be thick, like pudding but now its real liquidy. I dont know if it was concentrated before and now its now but I dont like it anymore. It seems to sud less too.

Oh ok.

I feel you on the quick detailer. I wash my car, dry it, then take it for a little spin like around the block, dry whatever water dripped on the creases and then use a detailer to make sure no water marks are left.

It's actually one of the most important things when washing. You need the lubricity and cleaning agents to safely wash the surface.
