NXT is a synthetic with some abrasives.I am not "knocking" it in any way.This is really a different product than I was interested in.The Gold Class is a Carnauba based product.I am just not sure if it does or does not have any abrasives.I want a Carnauba product to put over Rejex.I have Pinnacle and some other natural waxes and would like to use the Gold if it does not have any cleaners/abrasives.Thanks.

Meguiar's Online forum describes Gold Class as a Polish/Wax consisting of oils, silicones, & carnauba. The description I read said nothing about abrasives.
They also list Cleaner/Wax which has mild chemical cleaning properties.

To be absolutely sure, I would suggest you search Meguiar's website or call Customer Service for technical advise.

I only have one thing to say Zaino, Zaino, Zaino... Oh wait that was three things. I have not been impressed with Maguires waxes so far.

I tried the Meguiars Gold liquid today, not bad. It was easy to work with, went on and came off easily. Left a good shine, not too wet looking but brought out the metal flake nicely. The car feels smooth as silk. It's not a cleaning wax, I had to use a little paste wax on a few cruddy spots then switch back. I think it made nice finish coat. It has caranuba, hopefully it'll be durable.

I found Gold Class to be a very good wax...it gives a nice shine and lasts. There are better products on the market, but they do cost more. For a mass market product, Gold Class is very good.

I use Griot's Best of Show Wax on my Vette and show cars and Gold Class on the daily drivers since it holds up well to the weather.

Just the opposite for me. I put the Zaino in the trash. I went back to Meguaires Cleaner Wax #6. I do like the Z10 leather conditioner.
