NXT 2.0 Issue

[Bostonsfavson]

Hey all-

I purchased some NXT 2.0 Tech Wax a couple years ago, and have only started using it frequently as of late. Since I've bought it, it has been stored primarily in the house--no exposure to extreme temps. The reason I stopped using it was because I kept getting streaking. I chalked it up to user error and moved on. However, I've started using it again because of some positive reviews by a few detailing pros whose advice I trust. Unfortunately, I'm still getting streaking. I don't think it's user error, as I'm pretty darn sure I'm doing everything correctly.

I'm starting to think I just have a bad batch. I would like to try some more NXT 2.0, but don't want to drop 20 dollars for a new bottle. Do I have any recourse here? Thanks for your time.

Re: NXT 2.0 Issue

Only thing I can suggest is to make sure you are applying a very thing & light coat. 2 thin coats should do the trick. If you're already doing that though and still get streaks, then I don't know what to suggest .

Hi there,

How long do you leave it on for, and where do you apply it (garage, outside)? Is it humid where you live? What sort of towel do you use to remove it?

Re: NXT 2.0 Issue

The polishing oils in NXT 2.0 need to fully set up before removal or you can in some cases see some streaking. Make sure you're applying a very thin coat to all the painted surfaces of the vehicle and then let it dry for another 30 minutes or so. In fact, if you apply the wax and then start cleaning the interior of the vehicle - vacuuming, cleaning windows, dressing leather, vinyl, etc - and then dress your tires and exterior trim, and then put everything away you should be well beyond that 30 minute time period and the NXT will be fully dried. It will still wipe off without effort but you shouldn't have any streaking.

Re: NXT 2.0 Issue

I've had streaking problems in the past, but I realized it was my MF cloth.

I thought one would do the job so what ended up happening was the build up dried wax started streaking.

I suggest to switch to a new clean MicroFiber cloth whenever one starts streaking, or to be safe use one for each side (depends on the size of your cloths, mine are small)

Re: NXT 2.0 Issue

Thanks for the advice fellas. I think the issue is with the product, though. I'm doing everything by the book. I am by no means the World's Greatest Detailer, but I do this for a living, and I know my technique (proper surface prep, light application, proper set time, etc.) are all spot on. Of all the products I use, NXT is the only one giving me issues.

I've Googled this problem, and while the *vast* majority of similar cases seem to be user error, there do seem to be some cases where the product is the culprit, and I believe this is one of them. For example, a guy on Autopia was having streaking issues with NXT, so tried a bottle from someone else and it was fine--I'm hoping I have similar results. I guess I'll give CS a jingle.
