  • Sorry.... just don't see the benefit.....

    I have tried using the stuff dry and as far as I am concerned you might as well use the regular NXT because it takes the same amount of time. I have tried it wet several times. The first time I was not careful where I sprayed and what a mess to get off. The stuff went everywhere. Last night I tried it on 2 wet cars and was very careful where I sprayed (mostly the center of a panel) . Then I wiped the cars once with a micro and then again with a dry one. Had to do it a third time to get the smears. After all that there was still the little white dots to find. I might as well of just used the "real stuff" I DON'T LIKE THE BOOSTER" I am willing to listen if somebody has a way to use it though. I have been using the Eagle One wash and spray or whatever it's called for about 3 yrs. now and the stuff is amazing. Just that it washes off with the first rain here (every day in SOFLA) though. The booster spray on the wif's cabrio did look nice yesterday though. Just too much work to do on a weekly wash basis. Nice Holiday to everybody!!!!!

    Hi DICEPT,

    I'm writing up a "How-To" article for using it dry. I'll pass the link to this post and your comments on to marketing so they can see your feedback.

    Stay tuned for the how-to article.

        heres something to keep in mind, and this is true for other products besides meguiars. if a product does work, more times than not it's the process and not the product. thats not to say your doing anything wrong, just a observation. I have alot of trouble using #83 because of my process, and I know that to be the case because of other peoples success with it, but I accept that and use other products that work within' my process, and I keep trying to adappt my process to the product (#83 in this case). If you cant get your process to work for the booster, but are comfortable with reapplying the nxt wax, you'll be ahead of us that use the booster inbetween. so in a way it's a good thing.

          I gotta agree. The best process I came up with (on advice from detlman) was to spray it onto a folded up towel, and wipe the car down with it. This is a tad bit quicker than using NXT itself, but not a lot. But it does work and the gloss gets restored. If the product could be used wet without the need to rebuff (or dry without the need to rebuff) I think it would be more useful. If you have to wipe it on, wait for a haze, then wipe it off, it just can't be that much easier than the NXT Tech Wax as both are liquids and both require the same application method... But hey, it's a lot cheaper than NXT Tech Wax so that's something...

            heres another thing, I'm dealing with a large truck so it save me more time than when I do my wifes car. when I do my wifes car its more comparable in time. so as much as it kills me to say it..size does matter.

              I too was VERY dissapointed with the booster.
              Not the shine, it is awesome!
              The application drove me nuts.
              Here is what works for me:

              Spray generous amount on plush 1/4 folded MF.

              Wipe in looooooooooong back and forth strokes, barely overlapping. Very fast coverage. Much faster then NXT. (If you wipe in circles it buffs itself out too fast.)

              Use seperate MF buff dry!
              EASY!
