Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

This will not change pricing but please read the following as it may help you understand why products are priced differently around the world.

Meguiar's International Pricing Statement


The Meguiar’s brand was founded on developing and providing surface care products that demonstrably exceed the performance expectations of enthusiasts. As Meguiar’s has expanded globally, questions about differences in prices from one country to another occasionally are raised.

Cross-border price differences are not unique to the Meguiar’s brand, or surface care products, but are experienced in virtually every product category. From wax to running shoes to fast food hamburgers, wide ranges of pricing for similar products are the global norm. These price differences are a direct consequence of vastly different cost structures. When the costs of transport, import duties, local VAT, labeling for local language and health and safety requirements are all added in, the cost difference can be substantial. And although it is true that international taxes can sometimes be evaded for purchases made online, this is a practice that is not legal and certainly a practice that Meguiar’s could never condone.

In addition to the additional logistical and governmental costs noted, Meguiar’s has also established a local subsidiary or distribution partner for most countries around the world. This local organization provides tremendous value in organizing in-country distribution, conducting detailing seminars, providing customer service and answering technical queries from enthusiasts every day, establishing advertising and communication programs, and many, many other key services in building the business. Each of these local partners has a real passion for the car hobby, and also has a real cost of these services, and yes, they also need to make a profit. Without their efforts and local investment, Meguiar’s products would still be largely unavailable to the majority of global car enthusiasts.

Rather than comparing pricing from one country to another, we believe a much more relevant and fairer comparison is to make a local price comparison with products of comparable quality and performance. We and our partners strive to price our products competitive, and are committed to provide products that exceed the enthusiast’s performance expectations.

We do sincerely thank you for your passion in bringing your concern to our attention. We also hope that our explanation helps you in understanding some of the complexity of the global marketplace and the many factors that go into determining the price of Meguiar’s products in your country.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Ok, it's just what you wrote, but we must be careful who you advantage the situation.
Meguiars Products in Italy are practically unknown, and those few who know it do not always buy. This is because the prices are dear in comparison to products certainly not as good but they are easily in the supermarket at the same prices of Meguiars products in USA.
In Rome there are only 2 stores that have products meguiars, and little things are expensive. 1 site online, we only ever dear. Ok transport costs and taxes but from € 12 (~ $ 17) to € 39 (€ 53) is increased by about 230%!
The point is that if you are interested in expanding your market in italy / europe, IMHO you should choose the best partners that are aggressive pricing policies in order to sell a lot ..
You charged in U.S. prices right, because you do not impute to the fault of the prices in Italy, I ask you if possible for greater control, first of all for you to sell more (I think this will interest a lot right).
Thank you

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

I wanted to add that I had come on the forum in the U.S., because in Italia does not respond to mail that I sent and there is no forum.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

I wanted to specify that I am not a trader, but work in the field of telecommunications. My interest is to have your products at prices just like you have in USA. When I talk and I see the results of the treatments to my friends I meet all "is beautiful but too expensive." Actually they are right, in Italy the products are too expensive .... and this is bad for you, because you sell almost the opposite of what you sell.
Thanks for your answers, then you understand that you are a serious company, which respond to the criticism (even if not aimed directly at you).

Thanks a lot

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

I have a question about the application of NXT 2.0. How much should I put on the applicator that is good for a 2x2 area? They say "apply in thin coatings" but I don't know how thin that is.

[Murr1525]

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Well, if you put too much on the pad, you can just work a bigger area. Thin is thin, if you can easily see the wax when it is applied, it is probably to thick. You dont want to see a coat of wax. You just want to see a thin white film when it dries.

If you were using a liquid wax, you might do about a quarter sized blob, or for a paste, just one spin in the can. Then see how far it takes you.

The better prepped the paint is, the further and easier it will spread as well.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Just wanted to give props to NXT 2.0! My wife and I tried it for the first time Saturday morning before the sun came up and it went on and came off like a dream.

The car looks spectacular and I noticed something else nice today at Lunch. I parked not under but near some trees at work and a lot of pollen/tree stuff landed on the hood/roof, not much more than dust really, but when I pulled away it just blew right off the surface leaving an almost perfectly clean shine!

Big fan here.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

First of all, this looked great on my new truck! ...But I've never used one of those little sponge pads before. Can it re-used or washed or something?

On Silver, or White cars (or light cars in general) I find that I don't even see it while I'm applying it. It's THAT thin.

However, once it hazes, you know it's there. And it's also why Meguiar's recommends you apply a 2nd coat to have better coverage and just incase you missed any spots.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

I have used original NXT and now NXT 2 since it was introduced. One questions I have though is: when I apply NXT 2 by hand to my 2002 Anthrocite (black metalic) Jaguar XK8, let it set up and then remove with microfiber, I get a "halo" (for lack of a better word) look in some places that takes considerable rubbing with the microfiber to remove.

Application is always done to a cool car in shade (usually in my garage).
Any ideas?

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

I just switched from the original NXT to NXT 2.0. Does the 2.0 take a bit longer to set? How long does it take usually for the 2.0 to set up and haze?

I'm asking because it took more effort and time to remove the 2.0 than the original. Wondering if the 2.0 takes longer to set up or if I need to apply a thinner layer (the 2.0 seemed to feel a bit thicker while I was applying it).
