This stuff works great if you have not tried it. I have not seen anything else like it that you can buy in the stores.

I haven't used nxt on my car, but I've used it on my dad's truck before and I was pretty impressed by it. Wipes off very easy and gave a good shine.

It's hard to beat Meguiers IMO for the money unless you want to get ZAINO. I haven't tried the NXT yet but I think I'll use it next. I start out with there clay bar then go with there cleaner wax then Gold Glass and then to top it off I put a coat of show car glaze on it. BLING BLING tells the rest of the story. Also I have alot of time on my hands if you are wondering.

I also loved the Gold Class wax, but the NXT trumps even that. It would be great if you could compare the NXT spray wax to the show glaze and tell us how they stack up. I've used the spray wax several times after washing my car and every time I'm like .

If you like NXT, put on ColorX before NXT.

Here is my process:
1) Wash with Mr. Clean Auto Dry
2) Mother's Clay Bar
3) ScratchX -- 1 or 2 coats (I use my car all year round, even in winter. Your car may not need this)
4) ColorX -- 1 or 2 coats
5) NXT -- 1 or 2 coats
6) RainX on the windows -- this stuff is awesome

I usually do 2 coats of ColorX and NXT

Sometimes I skip the ScratchX or only apply it where needed.

I use terry cloth covered foam applicators to apply the ScratchX/ColorX/NXT and use microfiber towels to wipe them off.

I dont always go through the whole process, usually only when noticable (expecially at the begining of spring). Sometimes I just use Mr. Clean AutoDry and Mother's Quick Detailer (the stuff that somes with the clay bar).

ColorX is made by Meguiar's. You can get it at Walmart (along with NXT). Its a color enhancer. It helps hide fine scrathes and makes the paint look deeper and wetter. Try it and you'll see what I mean. Apply it before NXT.

I switched from Zaino to Meguiars and am happier, money not considered. I used a combo of #7, NXT, and #16 with a Porter Cable buffer.
