Default Wax for Mystic Teal Metallic car???

I've been thinking about trying the NXT Tech Wax 2.0, but Im not too sure. I've been using this stuff: (And yes they are a vendor. Formerly Tropi-Care. Awesome stuff and EXCELLENT service!)

Just wanted to know what other MTM users think of their wax and any suggestions...

I have been using the Meguiars Gold Class paste wax with amazing results. Mine is no longer Mystic Teal, mind you, but it's close being Bermuda Blue Metallic.

I use the swirl remover on my buffer with the softest pad and low setting to take water spots out. It will leave holograming in sometimes if you press too hard or spin it up too fast but the Gold Class takes care of all of that.

It's alright by comparison but I really haven't had good luck with liquid waxes in the past. The trick with the paste wax is letting it dry in the shade for about 20 minutes then wiping it off well but not hard.

Don't listen to Chon he drove around for a year with a Trex cam and no tune.

LMAO you guys crack me up! And someday if I ever have to repaint my car, Im going to go with BBM aswell. Awesome color! Did you paint your jams? I think it might be really close and would probably just save the money..

Thank you. I didn't have the painters do the jams but I did them with Duplicolor. It matches pretty close and no one really looks at the door jams unless you are at a car show being judged.

I used NXT on my BGC car for a while, but it gave it a really hard sheen, almost like shiny plastic. Switched to TC (SFX now, I guess) and haven't found anything that looks as good since.

Used that stuff on my DD BMW 330I the other day (Alpine White) and it's incredible stuff. Worked wonders on my paint and poped for weeks. Not sure about your color but it should work wonders.
