X-Press Liquid Wax vs. GC or NXT

[Shawn T.]

Can someone explain the differences between X-Press Wax and other Megs consumer waxes? At $26.00 for a gallon, it is quite economical and I was wondering if I would be compromising any characteristics that I am used to with GC+ and NXT. Thanks in advance.

It is made to be more of a quick drying, production wax. You'll have better results all around IMO with a regular wax like Gold Class or NXT.

Well, the Nxt 2.0 is pretty top of the line.

The X-press wont have the water repelling polymers, and likely wont be quite as well protecting.

I was looking into buying some M21 (want 64 oz for when I start my part time detailing business in the summer) and saw that D150 was only $26.00 for a gallon which is much less expensive than M21. I just want to know exactly what I will be giving up by using D150 instead of M21, NXT 2.0 or GC+.

Nxt and #21 are similar, so the comparison to D150 would be the same.

However, for a business enviroment, D150 could be faster to use, esp for plain wash and wax jobs.

I guess I will stick with M21. Thanks Murr!

Yeah, both have their place.... top of the line takes a little longer to use, kind of like most things.

Anyone else have any more info on Xpress Liquid Wax?

Re: X-Press Liquid Wax vs. GC or NXT

If you search in the Detailer Line section, there should be a few threads on it, unless they were lost in the forum transfer.

Re: X-Press Liquid Wax vs. GC or NXT

would it be safe to use NXT 2.0 or Gold Class every two weeks? thanks

Re: X-Press Liquid Wax vs. GC or NXT

Yes, absolutely.

Re: X-Press Liquid Wax vs. GC or NXT

Ran a check through the professional line forums and only found three threads even referencing D150 Xpress Wax. Mike P. said that it was designed for "fast application, even faster wipe off, some gloss and some protection." http://meguiarsonline.com/forums/sho...ght=Xpress+wax

My question is D150's relative longevity when compared to regular waxes (for lack of a better term) assuming all conditions are the same. Hopefully one of the Mike's can help clarify this issue at some point during the week. Thanks for all the help guys, especially Murr and Roughstage! Always awesome advice!

I bought a gallon of it as well for $25 about six months ago and still have a gallon of it. I used it once and was disappointed, tried it again and still disappointed so then I reached for the GC to clear it all up.... Left the paint hazy and dried waaaaayyyyyyy to quick resulting in being able to see the circular motion in my application. Maybe the lack of oils found in the other polishes.... BUT I will say that I keep this on the shelves as when I talk to a customer about different services they all seems to agree that an "express wax" is really not worth it compared to the extra cost of a multi step polish process.
Just my two cents

It is intended to dry fast, almost like the spray waxes.
