Does Quick Wax get along with NXT liquid WAX?

[bonifaxancheyta]

Hi folks, I have two coats of NXT liquid wax on my black ride, and I need to know if I can make quick touch ups with regular quick wax, because the NXT wax is syntetic and the quick wax isnt. Or should I use NXT spray wax ? Please help

I have this wax on my car...



Can I give a quick wax with this?...

Either one will work fine and they both work great once you get the technique down.

Hey Mike thank you so much for the info. Now you are my official "sensei" and I am your "padawan"

Well, besides my silly joke, let me tell you that today I bought the NXT spray wax and two supreme shine microfiber cloths and I came with this problem: I aplied scratch X to my black car (hood only) with a clean Megs Foam Applicator and after removal of the product (scratch X) with the microfiber "new" towel I noticed It produced a lot of tiny scratches that can be noticed in certain angle so I dont know what to do, is this normal in all black cars? cos I dont see this happen on my other grey car, fortunately the scratches "disappears" with a coat of NXT liquid Wax but Im confused with the use of the Scratch X product, well not with the Scratch X itself but with the removal of the product with the microfiber towel.

Hey,

To answer your question...no problem at all!! Here is a remove I did of the product a couple of years ago (May 28, 2003) before it came out to the public. Great stuff!!!

Hi Everyone!

I want to state from the beginning that I am one of the “Testers” that Mike Phillips was referring to regarding the Meguiar’s Quik Wax (New and Improved version). I also want it known that Mike asked me to evaluate the product and post the results in an honest, unbiased manner whether the results were good or bad.

Upon receiving the sample of Meguiar’s Quik Wax, the first thing I did was read the label. It reads very similar to Meguiar’s Web Site:

“Meguiar's has taken this remarkable product and made it even more extraordinary. This new and improved formula produces dramatically darker, deeper reflections and increased gloss and shine. We have also made it easier to apply and wipe off without streaking and smearing.” (Website)

I am always skeptical of any detailing product that reads “easier to apply” or “without streaking or smearing.” Most of the time, the products are anything but easy!!

I followed Mike’s instruction on how to use the product and proceeded to try it on my personal 1999 Ford F250 Super Duty. The truck’s paint is in excellent condition thereby making this product ideal for that maintained look.

I followed Mike’s advice and applied Quik Wax to both the Meguiar’s Ultimate Wipe microfiber cloth and sprayed it lightly onto the pre-cleaned painted surface. Quik Wax has a very pleasant smell; that is a very minor detail but important none-the-less. The product spread very evenly and went on smoothly. I tried just spraying and wiping but adding Quik Wax to the MF really made life a lot easier!! I did large sections at a time allowing the wax haze and then removed it with a fresh side of the Meguiar’s microfiber. The wax came off as easy as it went on! In other words, really easily! I am a big user of S100 paste wax because of its ease of application and removal plus its remarkable shine. With that in mind, I have to say that the Quik Wax was just as easy to use as my S100 paste wax.

The most important factor to me is: how does the product look when it is applied to the paint? That is an easy answer: simply stunning! I can honestly say that the finish is very close in terms of depth and warmth to that of my usual S100! It does not, however, have that same slick/ultra smooth feeling that S100 has. Moreover, the wax does not seem to have a lot of cleaning properties. It is more of a straight liquid carnauba wax in that regard. Therefore, I washed and used #34 Final Inspection to quickly clean the paint (it was already spotless but it did have a bit of road grunge on it). Then waxed the whole truck with the Quik Wax.

In terms of durability, that will have to be seen. I will keep a log of the washes and the beading qualities after each wash. I will let everyone know from time to time how it is going.

Overall evaluation of Meguiar’s Quik Wax: it is an excellent product for what it was designed to be, a quick wax used between extensive wax jobs. It has more shine than a QD but does not have very strong cleaning capabilities. I have to say, this product really impresses me!!

I have included some pictures of the completed truck. I really love that depth of shine and reflectivity! I realize that a picture is not the best proof of a product's ability, but it sure does help!

Cheers!
Tim




and...



Finally, terrific depth and gloss!!
