Meguiars GoldClass Carnauba Plus

Has anyone used this product? If so, what's your evaluation of it? Would it be a good product to apply on top of NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0?

Depends what you are looking for really.

Re: Meguiars GoldClass Carnauba Plus

I use NXT and top off with GC. NXT alone is crisp but GC on top makes it smooth with some warmth... if that makes any sense

Re: Meguiars GoldClass Carnauba Plus

It really depends. Your car's color is also a big factor. If you want to add depth and warmth on your car's paint, you can put Gold Class on top of NXT 2.0, alternatively, you can just skip GCCP and apply a pure polish instead.

If you're after protection from the the hydrophobic polymers, just apply another coat of NXT 2.0, with GCCP, you will add more warmth and depth, but it would be a waste to put something on top of the protective polymers found in NXT 2.0

I'm ususally a sealant kinda guy - I like the crisp look they give and the longer durability.

I did once try GCCP and the depth and warm glow it gave was simply amazing. It just didn't last long enough for my liking, so I switched back to my old faithful M21.

That was when I used to drive and bucket wash the car a lot more though. These days it's more of a garage queen, so I might give the GCCP another shot.

If you want to top NXT 2.0 with something cheaper, M26 or Deep Crystal Carnauba wax come in mind. I've moved on from those 2 waxes, but the shine I got from those 2 "cheaper" waxes is incredible, and can easily rival NXT 2.0 especially on dark paints.

I use Gold Class CP Liquid on a black daily driver and love it, and I also make strong use of the GC Quick Detailer and GC Quick Wax. It's a blend with carnauba as well as "tech" polymers, so it will last nearly as well as any other wax given the same conditions. If you want a more golden show car shine, it's the way to go. Use Ultimate/NXT for a more silvery shine. From most light angles, you can't tell the difference, though.

I agree with this.

When used this way with the help of the GC Detailer and CG Wax, You can maintain a higher level of durability along with the incredible looks afforded by the Carnauba.

Re: Meguiars GoldClass Carnauba Plus

I used GCL on my garage queen white G35C, looked great....can't say much for durability
Used it as well on my DD white Impreza, but topped it with Collinite 845, she looks brand new after 2 yrs

I have used this product. I actually picked up some of this stuff at target for $5 bucks Target.


I apply this product about 1 week after I applied the Ultimate Liquid Wax.

I own a Nissan Altima 2012 Tuscan Red and it gave it a warm glow and lighting the paint. The Ultimate LIquid wax by itself darkened my paing and the reflections were sharper. In all I actually like adding a carbanuba over a Paint Sealant.

On lighter colors the Gold wax looks really good. It gives it that pop.


Another difference I noticed is that the water does not roll off as fast as the Ultimate Liquid wax
