Default Meguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0

What do you guys think about Meguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0? My buddy just tried it on his black 89' XR-7 and it looks pretty damn nice. I wanna try it out on my red 95' z28. Anyone have anything bad to say about this wax?

Thanks.

It works good.. But everytime I've ever used it, I thought it was a bitch to take off!

NXT is a Spectacular Wax. I recently used it on my T/A, here is the post....

https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...cs-inside.html

Please feel free to Seach in the Apperance and Detail Section under NXT 2.0 and you will see all my details.

For those having issues, you need to amend your process.

Most times people do not clean properly, or claying is needed. A Decent Terry Cloth towel and some effort can take wax off easily. I love Micro Fiber but you need TERRY CLOTH to help get Wax off.

I always apply THIN coats, I apply to the whole car, allow for it to haze in the shade. The start at the begining with clean terry cloth towels. I knock off the main layer, come back on the clean side and buff to a clean finish. Inspecting each panel to ensuring product is not left on, it looks KILLER.

The biggest thing is making sure its dried sufficently. You can do the Swipe test to make sure. I always go over the car with a MF for any wax dust.

Let it cure for 12ish hours and apply some Ult Quick Wax as a Booster.

Feell free to PM for any questions!

How is it hard to take off? I've never had a problem taking it off at all. I don't use anything else anymore.

If its hard to remove, you people are applying it waaay to thick. you only need enough for a full coverage, no need to cake it on, you end up wiping it all off anyways

To me it just seems that on my Black TA it always leaves marks, no matter how hard I try to remove it. So instead of the NXT Tech Wax I use the 3m stuff (http://www.amazon.com/3M-Care-Perfec.../dp/B0002NUNKC) and it puts the NXT stuff to shame for the price. Being off the shelf and all.

Easier to take off than Zaino. Cheaper. Doesn't quite have the durability though.

Zaino has the easiest removal of any wax ive ever used. Probably put it on too thick, Zaino stresses how thin the coats should be.

For about the last 3 years its all I've used and got a TON of compliments about how my paint looked. And yes it is pretty hard to remove IF you use too much of it, which I can definitely admit to doing a few times. In the proper amounts though its not that bad. I'm gonna try Adam's Buttery Wax after my repaint I think, but that's more out of curiosity than issues with the NXT.
