Default Three months into a life with NXT.

I still like it alot Its a good product at a good price. I can buy a bottle of it when I'm out shopping. Just stop by a Walmart or Auto Zone. Target now has it at the lowest price of the three stores at $13.99 a bottle.

My 1994 admiral blue coupe is not wearing perfect paint....its ten years old folks, it looks great but there are a few problems with it

I wax my Vette at least once a month. The product goes on very easy and comes off very easy. Which leaves me more time to enjoy the Vette. It leaves a great high gloss shine that even my wife thinks looks better then what I was using before

It holds up well in hot weather and rainy conditions Rain beads up and runs off the hood of my Vette like crazy

I'll keep using it until something better comes along....and thats not Zaino ...thats what I was using before

Break free from the flock and don't be afraid to try something new people.

I bought NXT for less than $13 by asking for a military discount. I've gone two months between applications on a daily driver here in St Louis. Since it rains at least once a week I can verify that it's still beading. That's about all I would expect from any wax/polish so this weekend it's gets another coat.

I really like NXT wax. I don't use the booster, because it goes on quick and off quick. I really like the NXT car wash I think it brings that pop back until I reapply the wax.

I'm at week 7 on my girlfriends accord, car still beads and feels great. It's parked outside 24/7 and we live a block from the ocean. Great product, I love it!

I tried NXT this spring on my truck. I really liked how easy it was to apply. Doesn't require a lot of elbow grease to buff off either. Very low effort but with good results. It really rejuvinated my truck. I hadn't waxed it for about 7 months previous but the NXT brought it right back to looking new again.

My truck is kept outside 24/7. We had an extremely wet spring here. It rained almost non-stop for April and May. Some flooding type downpours. The beading action with NXT lasted about 2-3 months in these condition. I would say the first month to month and a half were good. Then the beading action slowly diminished. When I went to wash it again after 3 months I had no beading action at all. Again, this was in heavy rains the whole spring. I would say the protection it gives is pretty good considering these conditions.

I continue to use it on my truck and on my vette. Relatively low cost, easy to use, and great shine.
