  • My NXT 2.0 Experience.

    As some of you know I retired a few years back and have been trying to restrict my details to only my own vehicles. My nearly 50 years of detailing has taken it's toll on my hands and I just can't do two or three cars over a weekend any longer. I need to use products that are easy on my hands as I've worn out most of the cartilage between my joints. I have a hard time hanging onto a PC these days. Enough about that.

    I have taken to to spending my winters in Cape Coral, FL to get out of the wicked Wisconsin weather and made my way down here just after the new year. Settling in, I stopped into the nearby WalMart and I see an endcap loaded with about 40 packages of the NXT 2.0 and other Meguiar's goodies so make that 39 left on the shelf.

    Since I didn't bring my PC along, I decided to wash and begin detailing my RX330 after the 1,500 mile trip. Washed it up and then inspected the finish. Good, no bonded crud so my last application of #21 a month earlier was working well. I applied NXT 2.0 over the top of it and was quite impressed at how easily and thinly it applied and removed. I was much easier to remove than NXT 1.0, IMO. No streaking. Dried rather fast too. Faster than I remember and it was very humid here.

    Just like the original NXT, this stuff looks even glossier the second day after it cures. I got an immediate comment from a neighbor who asked if I got a new car. I told him I had put new tires on the thing but he said it shined like new. The RX is a 2004 so it's not all that old.

    Here is how it turned out.







    Guess it's time to order #21 2.0 and make some comparisons. Detailing is like a drug, you can never get it out of your system. I'll probably be detailing a car when I die.

    Aww man your killing me here. Look at that green grass and trees. Next time maybe I can fit in your suitcase. lol

    Lexus looks great! Glad to hear you like the NXT 2.0. To date it is the easiest wax I have ever used. It's more of a wiping off than having to buff it off.

    Wish you the best of luck with your joints. I'm sure being out of the Wisconsin cold helps some.

      Thanks, BlueZero

      You hit it right on the head. No wiping or buffing required, just a single pass of a MF towel removes it cleanly with zero streaks or dusting. I haven't seen how it beads yet but we might get some rain (20% chance) this Friday so I'll try to snap a shot if it happens.

      I see SE Wisconsin had some rather unusual winter tornados. Only once previously in Wisconsin history did a tornado hit in January. Odd, and the temperature was in the 60's too. Another odd occurrence for WI in January was a 100 car pileup near Madison due to an extremely dense fog bank. Must be a really unusual weather pattern this year. Need all the protection on that paint you can get.

          Your Lexus looks great. It sure is topsy turvey weather so far this year. I am just up the coast in New Port Richey. This weather is not to hard to take is it. Enjoy your time down here.

                Yeah, I waxed my car when it was 35 degrees and it came off with no problem! Can't do that with some other protectants.

                  The Lexus turned out beautiful, looks like it just rolled off the assembly line. I have yet to use NXT 2.0 for myself, but am hoping to try it with the PC this weekend. I've heard only great things about it so I'm looking forward to it.
