Removing NXT with G-100

[vettemaniac]

I was applying tech wax for the first time yesterday with the G-100 and W-9006 pad, and everything went great until I went to remove it. Most of it came off with the microfiber bonnet over the cutting pad, but some of it was real hard to remove and I had to kind of scrub to get it off with a normal microfiber. Rather than marr the paint, I lightly spritzed a towel with some QD and it came off real easy that way.

Could this just be from not working it in eneough? I know this is what 80 and 83 tend to do when not haven broken down/being worked in eneough, so is that what this is? I've never had any problems when doing it by hand, and that's what I love about NXT.

Thanks, Kyle

Re: Removing NXT with G-100

As long as you applied a thin coat of any wax and let it fully dry, (except for M16), it should come off by machine very easy.

The mistake most people make is they don't push down on the polisher hard enough, you need to put a little muscle behind it, like 15 to 20 pounds and get her moving. Also use the 5.0 setting, even 5.5 and 6.0 if the wax is coming off hard. Be careful not to overheat the backing plate.

Yesterday, I applied 2 thin coats of NXT wax by hand and then used my B & D with MF Bonnet to remove and it came off so nice and easy. It makes waxing much more fun!!!! By the way is it a problem if you use the car cover after you wax? Should i wait a certain length of time for the wax to set up or can I cover it right away? Thanks, Asaf

I find removing NXT with my PC to be a breaze. Just make sure to apply a nice thin layer, work it in well and allow it to haze.

Re: Removing NXT with G-100

I think u applied too thick? When u use a W9006 pad with a PC to apply waxes, it becomes very thin. So thin tht u'll think there's no wax applied at all. Even my 1st time, I thought tht there weren't much wax. So I squeeze more wax onto the pad. Did u shake the btl? What is the temp when applying? How long did u left it to dry? And can u post a pict of the MF Bonnet u use? What brand of MF bonnet is it? Coz I notice some bonnets out there are not MF...? Nxt wax u need not break it down. So funny tht u are facing this...??? Don't u think so guys.

Nxt is very easy to wipe off. Even a bit thick applied #16 is easy to wipe off. The trick is all in the Cloth. Hehe....'Microfiber'.

Re: Removing NXT with G-100

How many bonnets are you using? I usually go thru 2 or 3 depending on the size vehicle. Once you feel the bonnet sort of dragging take the bonnet off and reverse it or put a new one on. When they load up they start streaking and getting harder to move across the paint. NXT should be very, very easy to take off.

Re: Removing NXT with G-100

It started happening right off the bat, so it wasn't the bonnet. It's the new bonnet thats on ADS. It was pretty cold out, even though we were in a garage, but we waited longer after it wasn't coming off and it didn't help. I've never had problems with NXT before so..... I might have even applied it to thick, who knows. I'll have to watch that part over again on the PC for showcar results dvd.
