I heard that it is a rip off. So I will do you a favor, place that bottle of NXT in the mail and send it over to me. I will get rid of it for you.
BTW I love your sign.

And like any wax/polish do not smear it on. Thin light coat, so it looks like a haze on the surface. Let cure at least 30 minutes to be safe with these cooler temps right now.

Re: Meguiars NXT Tech... (dpd)

The NXT worked just great on my black car. However, when I used the booster wax thereafter, I found it streaky. So for me it is the polish without the booster. The booster may work better on colors other than black, my experience :nono: says otherwise. IMO, the basic polish works so easy there's no need to use anything else.

I used it several years ago. I wasnt too impressed with it, it streaked sometimes on my black paint. The shine was a little hazy, unlike the deep wet shine of Pinnacle Souveran which I use now.

Re: Meguiars NXT Tech... (WWK888)

I finally got it to apply correctly. It goes on smooth and wipes off even better.
I little bit goes a long way. Love it.

I have heard of it, never tried it. My honest opinion (feel free to flame away) As long as you keep your car washed and waxed on a regular basis, you could probably even use Turtle Wax and have a beautiful shiney car. I find it hard to believe that any wax/polish is magic or that any would cause your car to burst into flames. I used to use Mothers products on my hot rods, seemed to make them look great. I got Zaino when I got my Vette because it was supposed to be (and is) easier to take off. I LIKE cleaning my Vette on a nice day when I have the time. THis is more of a hobby that a chore, so I justify it to myself and say "well it is the Vette, I better use the good stuff". My 2004 F 250 Super Duty gets NXT, and honestly - it shines like heck - as good as my Zainoed Vette.! Not very scientific but honest!

I think Zymol was "indoor" type of wax in the 80's. What I mean by "indoor" is a lot of people aside from myself complained about streaky oily appearances after the application was supposedly dry.

It was also highly labor intensive to work with. Easy on, but God, the elbow grease to remove it...even if it was lightly applied.

If I had to use a wax, it'd be meguiars. I used that before Zaino exclusively.
