I opened the can and it looks dried out. It looks like the moisture has evaporated and the wax sunk in. Is the wax still good?

Re: Did my NXT 2.0 paste wax go bad?
Is it brand new? A paste wax could be dried out, cracked a bit.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR Blue -
Re: Did my NXT 2.0 paste wax go bad?
It's not that old. It looks like it lost volume and is cracked around the edges. The seal on the paste wax doesn't seem airtight, so it could be dried out. I'm just wondering if I should still use it or toss it.Originally posted by Murr1525 View PostComment

If it feels gritty when rubbed between your fingers, I wouldn't use it, but if it melts when you do that, it'll probably be ok...FrancisComment

Re: Did my NXT 2.0 paste wax go bad?
I don't know if this will work with NXT 2, as I have never used it. However, it does work with M16, other paste waxes, and even old dried up and cracked shoe polish in a can.
Float the product in a pan of water. Put it on the stove, and heat the water. Slowly, no need to boil the water. The wax will liquify. Once that happens, turn off the heat, and let it cool. The wax will solidify, and become like new. This works for most kinds of paste wax, but again, I have never tried NXT, or this method to revive it.Comment

Originally posted by Murr1525 View PostThe two points noted above should be good indicators as to whether or not there's a real issue with your can of wax. Paste waxes are pretty stout and even though they may look dried and cracked they're usually still perfectly fine from a usability standpoint - they just don't look as pretty in the can. If you can work the pad lightly against the surface of the wax in the can, using a quick, tight circular motion to sort of melt the wax and allow the pad to pick some up, then you've got nothing to worry about.Originally posted by umi000 View PostMichael Stoops

Re: Did my NXT 2.0 paste wax go bad?
I've seen cracking on NXT 2.0 paste even when new, the one i first bought more than a year ago. Even a competitor's similar pre-softened paste wax also has a couple of cracks in it. Try rubbing an applicator first on the wax, it SHOULD melt into the applicator.Comment
