If you drive them they all get dusty, if they sit in the garage then not so much.

Do a search for all the comments regarding NXT's life span. I am certainly NOT in the minority about that..

Anything else you'd like to mention?

According to Auto Geek the paint sealants like NXT last much longer than Carnauba wax's like Mothers Gold or Ziano.

I use it on my 08 AW. I like it a lot. It works well for me. What I like best is that bugs and bird stuff just doesn't stick to it. Everything else I have used works fairly well but bugs ,birds and tar are hard to get off. Now all I do is squirt of some detailer and the bugs come right off.

Use NXT on corvette, cts, granite counter tops, wall tile, all sinks in house, toilets and anything that shines. The cts is black and the swirls disappear with NXT. My friends kid me about my excessive use of NXT, but it really improves clean-up of anything that shines.
The great part is there is no corvette tax, you can get it at Wal-Mart.

I agree, NXT is great. But, you do have to apply it pretty often to maintain its full effects, which are great. I find that I have to apply NXT every 2-3 weeks, even with the car garaged the majority of the time.

But, it goes on and wipes off pretty easily, so it's not too bad. I still recommend it.

I used it for a while. I have nothing to gain or lose but it definitely does not last long.

Ya, I will, how come all the threads I see about putting more wax on are all Zaino threads.
Seems every thread some guy has 10 coats on, 21 coats on, 36 coats on.
Then with all these coats, they barely look as good as some of these other one coat application competitors and you don't need
Z1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,9 10 etc etc.

Zaino? Been there done that.

Try Rejex or C Magic. Both polymer coatings so they don't clean the surface but are tougher than wax.

I've used NXT 2.0 and was pleased with the result. Funny thing, though, I haven't used it again because I've been trying many different waxes. Most recently was Pinnacle Souverain, and surprisingly this has lasted (to my eyes and satisfaction) longer than any other. Usually I'll try a new wax/polymer every other washing, but with the Souverain on for a few months I'll wash the Vette and then think about putting on wax/polymer, and so far have concluded "hey it still looks great I don't think it would help to put another coat on yet". This is kind of amazing.

Every 2 to 3 weeks for a garaged Vette ?

Mine also is garaged the majority of the time and I use NXT 2.0 twice a year.

Same here, I have used NXT 2.0 for 3 years now, I apply it twice a year and use the detail spray about every 2nd wash of the car. My vette is garage kept but my DD (09 Accord Coupe) is out in the elements on average of 11hrs during the week and I use NXT on that as well, I do coat it 3 times a year however. Only using detail spray on the DD maybe once a month.

Something that I do on both cars that may be a little different than most, I use a claybar on the front and rear bumpers once a month and reapply NXT. This is for bugs on the front and dirt buildup on the rear.

I have used many products over the years, including the beloved Zanio. In my experence the NXT lasts just as long as the "Z" product...

Like I said Horsehead nothing you would understand. Try to read the other replies, try to understand what others are saying, try not to be a know it all, I know that will never happen.
