Default My car with a fresh layer of NXT...

Last Sunday, I finally get a chance to try out Meguiars NXT Tech Wax..The results are amazing and I'm surpised that the glossy wax look on my car is still there after almost a week..Cleaner wax loses it's effectiveness in 3-4 days or so...I love the way the wax goes on as effortlessly as it comes off. It doesn't smell bad either.

Heres a picture of the results..Sorry it's a bit blurry, I was too lazy to get a tripod..

The car looks great!!!, I just applied the same product on my new ES and an 03 Camry. The stuff works great and is easy to work with.

Thanks for suggesting this stuff! easy to find at Fred Meyers for only $15. I was doing the meguirs polish (red bottle step #2), and then I'd use the meguirs gold class.

NXT gives by far better results, and I also finally busted out the micro-fibre, which helps a ton as well! I also noticed the the NXT seems to work even better on the front/rear bumpers for some reason.

How much better is the zaino vs NXT as far as reflectiveness?

I personally never used Zaino wax products before..But I've seen the results, which was pretty impressive..I think Zaino uses a multi-stage wax system...Too much work there..I would just save myself the labor and use just one layer of NXT instead of putting layers after layers of Zaino..

Clay bar + NXT = Brand new paint (almost)

I used to wax every 2 weeks, but now due to time restrictions with school..I can only wax once a month if I'm lucky..

Well, we've had a couple of snow and ice storms up here in the Northeast last couple of weeks, so my GS4 now has a nice new coat of SALT all over it. I ain't posting any pictures of that................

Awesome car you've got!!!!
