Default Where to by Meguiars NXT wax?

I know the obvious place to buy NXT wax>>...their webpage...but i wanted to pick some up locally and last week..I checked Autozone, Advanced Auto and Walmart for the NTX and couldn't find it anywhere.

Anyone know where i can pick it up locally?

They had them here in NorCal at Walmart. Best price too. Maybe I was just lucky when I came in.

I went to Advanced Auto this afternoon....I looked for 5-10mins..i saw they had some NTX products but not the wax..i grabbed one of the quick spray wax...to ask the guy at the counter for the real wax....but then i saw a full display rack at the register...they didn't put any NTX wax in the Wax section..they put it all out on a display rack by the register...
I gotta try it out this week..do i need to strip my old wax off now or just apply over it.?

Haha. That is too funny. I use NXT on my car only on my wheels since I don' t want to mix a batch of Zaino every time I clean my wheels (which I actually clean more than my car).

BUT, I use NXT on my wife's MDX and love it. I still use Zaino on my GS.

I'm starting to like the ease of use of the NXT though. I'm not sure what I'll do once this batch of Zaino runs out.

I am wondering how ong the NXT will last. It does not seem as durable as zaino. I only used zaino on my GS, but on the new tahoe I am trying the NXT. I have put 4 coats on it, we will see how this lasts. I guess the repeat coats is my zaino heart talking. It does go on/off easy and really shead the water.

i couldnt find the liquid or paste at my local advance, so i picked up the spray. Amazing product for the ease of use, great for just a quick in-between wax

I have actually seen really good results if you use the NXT first, and then about 24 to 72 hours later, putting on a layer of the Yellow, or Gold class. You can always do a 2nd coat of the NXT. It works great!

a fellow member put me on 2 the NXT and i've been hooked ever since, i got my liquid wax and spray wax at walmart, u hear these stories about how great the other stuff is mainly zaino by the time u get doen with a mixing,spreading,and than wipeing off the zaino u could probably do 3 coats of nxt...i use it on the car, wheels,lips and engine pieces. shoot i even use it on the windows and it leaves them clean and clear with no film left over...i used 2 use regulaer 2 step polish from maguires than i did the gold class and tried zaino but i wanted something easier that actually worked good and i found it in nxt...

What I'm hearing though is that NXT is not as durable as other polymers like Zaino, meaning you will have to apply more often. Did you notice this bluelex?

well i can't lie. i wax my car 3 times a week but its cuz i want to not need to. i remember b4 a show i had waxed the car and put 2 coats of the nxt the night b4 and the next day its rained hard on the way 2 the show. and when i got there i had people ask me if i drove through a secret tunnel cuz my car looked like i just waxed it. i thought my car was dirty but everyones car looked much dirtier than mine. i can only speak for myself and well the other guys i know who use it as much as me and we(TeeLex,D-got,Indio)share stories and had the same great results...i'm don't try to convice anyone on the product, but when i go to shows or anywhere and they ask what i use on my car i tell them nxt... give it a try, it definately won't hurt

Congratulations daddy.

The first child certainly changes a mans perspective on life.

As to NXT durability. Here is a pic of NXT beading rain at 68 days. A week later I began to apply NXT Booster after every other wash and it's now over 4 months since I initially applied NXT Tech Wax and the finish is slippery and looks great. Granted the booster is really applying more wax but even of you only look at the first 68 days, that is a decent durability and as the image shows it was still well protected.

I have clients vehicles that I redo every three months and NXT has held up on them. A lot depends on how the vehicle is treated, whether it is garaged and the environment.
