the spray wax is meant to be some sort of 'booster'. You wont get the full effect of the paste or liquid wax.

I have the spray wax and I only use it once in awhile when i'm in a hurry or just need some extra shine that will hold me in for another week or so.

Yep - in other words, get both.

I do this with a few of the products on my shelf. One of my sealants comes in liquid form, with a spray for in-between applications. Ditto the Poorboy's line of waxes & sealants. It's nice to add a little pop to the finish, even when you don't have the time...or the conditions aren't right...for a full application.

I think NXT has a spray wax, liquid wax, and a paste. These all say wax on them while the other spray one is the speed detailer. I just use the liquid wax version and use the speed detailer after car washes.

If you like the paste stick with the paste. Like others said, the spray wax is sort of a booster to keep your car nice and shiny between washes/waxing. However I'd recommend switching out the NXT spray wax and go for the Meguiars Ultimate Spray Wax.

Since i dont have a garage. I will use the Quik Wax during the winters....its too damn cold to be outside for 3 hours to wax my car....hahaa...


so i think the good 30 minute job should be sufficient enough....at least for the winter....

i try to wax the car 2 times before the winter starts again....so i get 2 coats on....and it seems to be holding up pretty well. It has only been 1 winter so far for me with the car but i like the results that i see.

I will have to try the Liquid wax also to see what kind of results i get.

Thanks for the replies!

I really like the paste wax, never had good results from the spray wax, but as others have said its meant to be a booster. I would just rather use the paste wax for better results

I prefer the liquid NXT as it is easier to put on the pad of a PC. The paste version seems harder to get an thin even coat than the liquid. Both look the same after your are all done. The paste and liquid seem to have the same durability. The spray was designed to be used on a car that has already been waxed. As others have pointed out, it is a booster wax and not a stand alone product.
