NXT and M21 are supposed to be very similar products, with the latter having been tweaked to allow application by rotary buffer. Those who have used both products typically say that they give similar looks, though some M21 users swear that they prefer the look created by M21.
But I have noticed one important difference in anecdotal reports about these two products. A certain proportion of NXT users encounter problems with streaking. These problems usually stem from user error--either the wax is applied too thick, or it is removed before it has fully dried, or both.
However, I rarely, if ever, read of similar problems with M21. It seems to be less finnicky. Perhaps this is because M21 users tend to be experienced detailers who already know how to properly apply various kinds of waxes, whereas many NXT users are beginners like myself and are just learning about waxing. But still I wonder. Do M21 users ever experience streaking problems with NXT? If not, why not? Is it possible that the lack of streaking with M21 is explained by the difference in chemical formulation? If this is so, then it seems to me that the superiority of M21 needs to be trumpeted a bit more loudly here on MOL.
