Default Another NXT Beliver!

Had the Old mguiers wax spray ... tried the NXT just to see and damn... job is 10x quicker I can clean my car in less then 6 minutes abo.2 songs on the radio!

Now one thing that bugs me about my new ride is ... How come the back end gets so dirty even with a spin around the corner its got some nasty sandy stuff always by the taillights.

Has to do with the aerodynamics of the car. The back end always gets dustier than the rest. I'm also sold on the NXT. Not that durable, but man does it shine!

Get used to it. I'm sure there is a very good aerodynamic reason for collection on the rear lights (whole a$$ end for that matter), happens every time to me as well.

Is that the NXT spray wax? I just bought some last night to give it a whirl in between P21S wax jobs. We'll see how it is.

I used the NXT liquid this week and was happy with the results.

The back end just seems to create a vaccum that pulls dirt onto the rear fascia. Nice to hear about the NXT - going to try that stuff when I need to buy more wax.

I've been using the meguiars instant detailer for awhile now, and it looks great except it streaks in some spots! How about the new NXT instant detailer?

I've used both and like the NXT detailer better. Far less streaking than with the old instant detailer. I make sure to buff the detailed area with a completely dry microfiber and that really helps.

I use the liquid as the primary wax and the NXT spray for daily (weekend outings) wipe-downs. Both are very good products.

Next time you wash your car, wash it with Dawn liquid soap first, then use Meguiar's #7 glaze/polish. Then a coat of NXT on that will make you reach for your sunglasses when you look at your car.

If you like the way it looks now, you'll love it after doing the above.
