Default NCT 2.0 mini-Review

I finally got around to shooting a couple photos of the RX330 with NXT 2.0 applied.

The product goes on and comes off even easier than the original NXT. No streaking even in very humid weather, as the original was apt to do occasionally. Easy to apply a very thin coat. I expect to get over 50 applications of the product per bottle. I doubt I used a quarter of an ounce to do the whole RX. Like the original this version looks glossier the second day as it fully cures. Not enough time has passed to evaluate how it holds up.

Now let me tell you about the beading. Water beads furiously. Small tight beads that fly off the paint when driving. It also responds to the low presure hose rinse to sheet off water after a wash. A day after applying NXT 2.0 I got caught in a Florida squall and by the time I got home the car was dry and clean. I stared at the paint with unbelief. I was sure that I would need to QD the car to remove dirt and waterspots but it had all rinsed off clean. Theses are shots of the car after the storm had passed.

So far, I am pleased with what I have seen.

^ i think it's personal preference. But i've only seen the 2.0 liquid stuff sold in stores...

altho the liquid stuff is alil easier to apply to a mechanical polisher

Here is my car with the new NXT 2.0 wax.

Looks the same to me. The old NXT wore out waaaay to fast. I hope this one lasts a bit longer.
