I also like NXT. In fact, if you haven't started to use the NXT Booster Spary Wax you should think about it. I apply two coats of NXT, 24 hours apart, then after every other wash (2 weeks) I apply the Booster. It only takes about 30 minutes to spray and remove and restore your finish to that just waxed look. You can use the booster for several months before needing to reapply the NXT Tech Wax. I spray the booster onto a foam applicator pad to apply. No rubbing just apply a thin even coat. Once you have finished the whole vehicle go and wipe it off with a micro-fiber towel. No streaking just a great wet-looking reflective shine.

Here is my 2004 RX 330 after NXT.


And here is my 1991 MR2 after NXT.

I use NXT followed 24 hours later with Meg's #16. You get the positives of the NXT sealant plus the durability of the #16 carnuba.

After I picked up the car last November, I trained the paint with cleaner, white rubbing compound, hand glaze, and gold class.

After the Aero was installed, the paint could pretty much hold its own, so I transistioned to NXT / 3M Hand Glaze / and Spray Wax.

I apply the NXT in coats, during the summer I think I got it up to about 4-5 coats at one time. Then I maintain with spray wax weekly or bi-weekly. After heavy rain, I go over the car with the handglaze (thick brown liquid), for that WOW shine, and seal it in with NXT.

Thats pretty much how I get that "what the hell do you use on your paint" look!

wow. you guys clean really often. all the pics are great!
i applied my NXT for the first time back in August, and the wax lasted a good two and half months before the shine and beading started to fade.
compared the the newbie 3 stage meguiars kit i used to use this stuff is great and economical.
i used Klasse all-in-one before i put on the wax. it works really well too.
man. i wish i had my own place so i can wash my car more.
this pic is after going into nyc twice from jersey.

NXT is a good wax but I like P21S on silver and light colored cars.

Yes, it will just yield such a shine and coating, anything more than 4 coats is overkill though. Good luck
