| Post subject: | A Review and Pics of Meguiar's New NXT Tech Wax |
Well, Meguiar's introduced this new line February 1 to the public...The NXT Line...Anyways, I've been researching it since about December and saw many uses of it from Meguiar's and some members from Autopia (a detailing site I belong to). Anyways, you should check your local Auto Parts store as well as Wal-Mart as they should already or begin stocking this stuff. Right now I have the Car Wash (which I hear blows away all others), Spray Wax (like a Quick Detailer), and Tech Wax (a paint selant that has a deep, wet look to it) Well, my quick review of Meguiar's New NXT Tech Wax is so-so. While the shine is great (deeper and wetter), the application and removal was kind of a PITA. It was about 45* out and my car was clayed, polished, and Klasse SG x 2 back in December. It was still a little slick to the touch from the Klasse. Anyways, the NXT didn't go on that well. I had to work it in a little bit harder than I'd like, let it dry for 15-20 mins, then took it off. Taking it off was "ok" being that I had to use a little umph to remove it. Anyways, the shine was a nice payoff. Well here are the pics: SG x 2 w/ NXT x 1 SG x 2 w/ NXT x 1 As you can see, more of a wet-look and it definately hid some of the swirls. It also deepens the color of the paint (which I love). More Shots Went out there this morning and the paint looked a little bit more wet and reflective but it had attracted some dust...I guess you sacrafice a little in other areas to get the look you want. Overall though, this is my first time using NXT and definately not my last. I'm sure I will find a way to make it go on easier. Maybe it just doesn't like bonding to Klasse? Maybe I should shoot some QD on the applicator before using? But the look I achieve from it, not to mention the slickness, and value will make me use it over and over. NOTE: I just got a response from someone high up at Meguiar's and he said others have had the same problem of the NXT being a PITA in the cold. He assured me once it gets a little warmer (50 or above) it goes on and comes off great. |

cool. how much does this stuff run? i heard it is comparable to zaino, like a sealant instead of a wax. |

$13.86 + tax from Wal-Mart. As far as a sealant, I wouldn't put it up to Zaino or Klasse as far durability. It is a solid contender with a very good carnuaba, but as far as sealants, its just not up to par. Some things I have noticed with it. If you have metallic paint, it will distort the flakes My advice: For metallic paints : S100 Carnauba Wax (http://www.hawg-wash.com) For solid paints : NXT Tech Wax Happy Detailing! |
