I hope that wasn't a jab of some sort...
no no, not at all!!

I'm just a "shade tree" mechanic with only my own car (and my wife's) that I work on. I could tell from your last post that you do this for a lot of people, hence a "pro".

I'm just always cautious about giving advise, since I know so much less than others here.

Anyway, As we speak, I'm finally putting my Strano springs on.

I'll post pics when the sun comes out.

Then you'll like the Ultimate Wax better as it lasts already about 2 week longer than NXT. Perhaps even longer.

i usually use nxt or zaino. love the shine of nxt but it doesn't seem to last more than 1 month out here in az. the ultimate wax has just as much pop as the nxt 2.0 but well see how long it will last on my car.
it definately wipes off easier

Does the dust stick to it as bad as the NXT 2.0? Ive used NXT a couple of times just for a "quick wax job" but the dust sticks to it so bad it discourages me from using it over higher end products.

Most waxes are like that. Their nature attracts dust. Another reason I favor sealants, as they typically do not do this.

i think its very good stuff for OTC. for anyone that is going to try it just make sure to apply it very thin or you'll see some streaking/hazing when put under sun light.

Yeah thats why I typicaly use Zaino products or other polishes but I still use a wax on rare occation. On my black car it will always have dust on it no matter what i do haha. But I can sure tell the dirt sticks a lot more with wax than its does with polishes or sealers. So I dont wax it anymore, I just use it on my pickup.

The Meguiars.....not at all. I have zero problems with anything sticking.

Sorry for the delay in reporting back.............

Looks like this stuff has about a 9-10 week lifespan. Thats awesome for a cheap wax/polish that goes on easier than any other product out there and comes off even easier.

This stuff is great (former Zaino nut swinger), the spray detail they offer thats of the same caliber (forget the exact name) almost has an atomizer for a spray head...super fine mist and really gets a hell of a shine out of the car.

This is what the combo has done for my 13yr old paint.

Not a bad reflection...

I just buffed and polished my car with the Meguars Ulimate Compound (which wasnt really that aggressive enough to get all my 2000 grit scratches out) and then the Meguars Ulimate Polish which I loved, so hopefully its like the polish and protects the paint. I need something that everytime I wash my car, the wax doesnt wear off or the paint doesnt get scratched.

I literally wash my car every 3-4 days. The Meguiars lasted a good 9-10 weeks. It also rains like every damn day here.
