Just finished waxing my black land rover and i'm a little disappointed. I used a clay bar, mirror glaze #7, then nxt wax. It just didn't seem to shine like a thought it should. I compare to this when i used the deep crystal system on a maroon ford bronco, all three steps.It was hard to look at that truck when i was done because it shined so much. Is the deep crystal system supposed too be better or did i just not use the right combination with the land rover? any thoughts?

Re: Quick question
The land rover is a 2004 and the ford bronco is a 1996, but the bronco has been repainted so it was in just as good shape as the land rover.Comment

Okay, makes sense.Originally posted by bjacks16 View Post
Well the Deep Crystal System is a multi-step system that includes a paint cleaner, (Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner), and the system you just used was a good system but it was a non-abrasive polish and a finishing wax, so the primary difference between the two systems was one included a paint cleaner and the other didn't. So that could maybe be a reason or factor as to the differences?
One other idea is if the Land Rover was in good shape to start with you wouldn't see a huge dramatic in before and after results.
Just to double check,
M07 Show Car Glaze - You applied to a small section at a time, worked the product in gently like skin lotion to your skin, then wiped the excess residue off the paint and moved on to the next section.
NXT Tech Wax - You applied a thin coating and then allowed it to fully dry before wiping it off.
Correct?

Re: Quick question
correct...So do you recommend using different polish and wax? I was thinking of using the gold class wax next.Comment

Re: Quick question
What condition is the paint on the Land Rover when you look at it in good lighting, like bright sunshine? Does the paint have swirls like this?Originally posted by bjacks16 View Post
Cobweb Scratches or Cobweb Swirls
Cobweb Scratches or Cobweb Swirls
Or this?
Rotary Buffer Instilled Swirls

Or are any of the horizontal panels developing any whitish appearance to them like this?

Re: Quick question
no it doesnt have any swirls in it or any whitish appearance...it does have small scratches in it, nothing deep though. I used the scratch remover on all the big ones and was very pleased with how those turned out.Comment

Re: Quick question
Might be time to try a different finishing wax then...
NXT works well for most people on most cars but northing's 100%. I remember reading two thread subjects on the same forum by different people, they went something like this,
I hate Gold Class Wax
I love Gold Class Wax
Both guys working on Corvettes and two different experiences.
If you have your receipt, you should be able to return the NXT Tech Wax and pick up a bottle of Gold Class Wax or even M26 Hi Tech Yellow Waxes. Both are very nice products.
