Thank you. Last time I used Ultimate wax on the car, it left a film that showed up under the sun, maybe some kind of oil, it swirled around when using a microfiber to wipe it off. Decided to try the NXT this time.

The NXT lasts a good three or four months, I started using the Ultimate wax, because I didn't have to tape everything off like I did with the NXT.

OP, looks great!
Thank you.

Your car looks great. I also have been using it for a long time. It makes my CRM vert sparkle and often I get compliments. I also use it on my black '48 Lincoln Continental. It really deepens the color in both cars.

Thank you. Yeah, I had great results on my black Vette, and black Camaro, I figured it would look good on SSB. It's also a lot easier than working on black

I use NXT 2.0. It is awesome.
The only downside: NXT 2.0 smells good and attracts bees. I was attacked by wasps once when waxing my car. I kid you not.

NXT is great stuff. Not as durable as some of the other choices but the looks for the time put in are hard to beat. Even if you have to apply is 2x as often it is still less work than some of the other products.

When I had my VY Z06, it attracted all bugs, especially bees/wasps.

Thank you. Actually thinking about putting another coat on, but I'm watching the twin 125's
