Default Tried meguiars NXT 2.0 **PICS**

Very easy to use. No white residue. Awesome shine! It started raining so I had to pull her in . I'll post more pics outside when it gets nicer!

Supposedly twice as long as original NXT, but that wasn't very long.

How in the world did you do more than one panel without chucking the bottle across the street?

I just bought some of that exact same stuff and when I tried to wipe it off, it just smeared around everywhere. Yes, it was fully dry and most of it would come off....but looking at the "reflections" it left greasy type streaks everywhere. (It's an exaggeration, but similar to what you would expect if you were trying to wipe peanut butter off of a mirror....just just smeared around) I used clean microfiber cloths too.

I was so ticked off I got the car back out of the garage and re-washed it.

I like the NXT too...it does have a great shine. I also use the Dupont Teflon and Rejex now and then. I did break down and buy Zaino but didn't really see a difference.

Maybe you applied too much of it? I had no problems with streaks.

Not an NXT man myself I prefer Adam's but have to admit that is an awesome shine. Nice Job!

I agree. The last time I had problems with streaks was with Simoniz pure carnauba (sp?).

I used to use NXT (I still like it) but now use Zaino (It's more economical and faster once you get the base coat on).
One tip for removing any wax/polish is to spray a little
detail spray onto the car before wiping. The wax/polish
comes off easier and the shine is enhanced. Just my 2 cents.

Was the humidity high in your area that day? I've experienced similar behavior from even Zaino and Rejex when it's more humid outside.

Or maybe you simply applied too much? If this happens I just use detail spray to help in removal.

Bingo. Common mistake, too much applied. Does not matter if you use NXT, Adams or Zaino, if you apply to much, the results are not nice.

Make sure its 2.0. The older stuff, which was not all that bad, is still on some shelves.

Gave it a try myself. NXT 2.0 first then followed by a coat of P21S 100% Carnuba on top and DP Wheel Glaze for the wheels. I feel satisfied with the outcome. Has a pretty deep shine.
