Default NXT Vs NXT 2.0

Anyone have any opinions? Already bought it.. so will also use this thread to post up MY results...

It claims twice the durability which was the ONLY problem I had with NXT.

Just put it on my wife's car and love it, it is smooth and damn, it made the paint look better than new. It is a 07 cobalt with the blue that changes to purple. We have never seen it turn to purple until I put it on, NXT GEN is very nice, now yes we have to see the durabilty, it is her daily driver, should see if it holds up pretty fast.

First coat is on... VERY VERY VERY easy to apply/take off.

The fillers are sub-par. Seen better... Didn't remove even the lightest of swirls.

It does provide a wonderful depth to the paint though.

Time to borrow a rotary buffer.... hit it with some compounds and THEN try this stuff as a top-coat.

FYI, Meguiars #21 synth. sealant is the same as NXt, but professional grade. Lasted about 2 months in the winter on my car.

That's what Megs "claims". I'd get the #21 if you can get it locally at a paint supply store. 21 is in the professional line and it probably has a higher % of polymers and less fillers.

very true, I could have taken a pic but I had just finshed claying the car, the roof panel was deep looking after the clay, but that pic had one coat of nxt 2.0 on it.

How does the NXT 2.0 work for dust? I know the original attracted dust like crazy, Zaino has some anti static properties so I was wondering.

Don't know about the dust... but this wax is def layer-able. I put a second coat on today and my car looks better than it EVER has in the 2 years I have owned it.

I even pulled under the fluorescent lights at the gas station this evening. They always made my imperfections stand out.... No more... People were breaking their necks staring.
