Yup , this post nails it. I drive my car instead of detailing it.
The NXT rocks. Ultimate spray the nose often.
Has anyone used the ultimate sealer yet?

I use NXT 2.0 on the shaving mirror in my shower. I have to reapply every several days to keep the water beading and running off. Turtle Wax Ice is the same way. I can go a month or more when I use Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection. Same with Rejex. Maybe I should do a test to see which one lasts longer? That's why NXT 2.0 is resigned to my shaving mirror only. I didn't get more than a few days of protection on the vehicles. Sorry.

Do you use Windex on your paint too?

Its not known for its durability.
IMO, there are very few products out there that survive months and months without 'boosting' with spray products after washes. I think most products work well if you boost after every wash, and reapply twice yearly.
There are a few products that last and dont require that much maintenance, but almost none of them fall into the 'all in one' category with the exception of Zaino AIO. Thats about the only product I can think of that preps/cleans the paint, fills a bit, and lasts a very long time.

OP the car looks great. Try Rejex under the NXT for some superior protection next time. I have NXT 2.0 and like it a lot. I have switched to a mixture of Rejex with Pinnacle Souveran on top (I personally would never pay $100+ for a can of wax but I had a gift cert.) Before I had that I used the NXT on top of the Rejex and it was great. That said I drive my car and don't want to spend all day waxing. It is easy on and off and I can do everything I need to in a hour. I don't get how some people spend 8 hours detailing a Corvette..... I mean it takes me 2.5 hours to clean our 36 foot boat.

I use Rejex now, but I do really like NXT and used it for years on my C5, was always happy with it. ..that and Meguires Gold class paste, but it's a bit messy to work with.

Looks good. That's all I use on my black car. No swirls either. For hard to remove wax or whatever on the black trim, use Back to Black. It's amazing. I got rid of the hard water spots on the back bumper of my Jeep that had been on there for a year. I tried everything I could think of, but the spots would come right back. I applied, Back to Black 3 months and the spots are still gone.
