Not too long ago I posted a question asking if anybody knew how long the NXT wax was good for. I purchased a bottle of it while on vacation in the States last July. It was never opened and was always kept inside my house. Everyone here seemed to agree that the wax should still be ok
This morning I'm getting ready to wax the car. By this point I've already used the clay bar, gone over it with the polish, and now ready to apply the NXT wax. I give the bottle a good shake and I start spreading it over my hood. Suddenly I notice that there's hard bits of crud mixed in with the wax.
It looked like grains of salt (but larger). So I gently wipe down the hood. The towel and sponge applicator is just covered with the bits. I was upset because I just finished getting some scratches buffed out from my hood and wasn't sure whether these bits did any damage to the paint.
So while I washed down the car a second time, I had my sister go and buy a new bottle of NXT wax and managed to get the car waxed without any problems.
I'll have to look at my hood in the shade and make sure there's no new scratches. I guess that old bottle of wax is now garbage and I'm out of the $15 US I paid for it. The exact same NXT wax cost me nearly $30 CDN at our local Walmart.
In the past, I've had bottles of wax that were like a year old and they never had any bits in them. Is it possible that I got a bad batch?.
I'll post pictures of the car later tonight.
