  • Mixed 21 and NXT 2.0

    I had a bottle of old formula 21 and some NXT 2.0 and decided to experiment a little. My truck hadn't been waxed for 7 months or so and the straight 21 was holding up pretty well. I wanted the hydrophobic quality of NXT 2.0 and the longevity of 21. I applied it with a UDM on a finishing pad and wiped it off with a MF. No streaking and easy removal. The gloss was amazing! I tried it on my brother-in-law's '03 black Dodge Ram and the results were the same. He said his truck never looked that good. I am going to wash my truck today(I waxed last week) and see if it holds up well. Has any one else mixed products like this before? How did it work?

        Sounds intriguing. I wonder if you could set up a couple of test areas on a panel for comparison between just Nxt, Just 21, and the mix of both?

            Just remember that mixing products is not recomended by Meguiar's and that you are probably better off putting down a coat of M21 then a coat of NXT 2.0 on top of that. That way you stll have the hydrophobic technology as well as the longevitiy of M21. I can say though that in terms of longevity, NXT 2.0 is far beyond M21.

                yeah i thought it was cool because I do both of these on top of each other but I never waited 15 mins or 24 until reading more on the this forum.

                  What was your ratio that you mixed them at?

                    I put equal sized lines on the pad.

                      Never thought about doing that. Would be interested in seeing the shine and longevity of it.
