Hmmmm. I see that someone has asked for one, and I'm prepared!
Situation: I waxed with NXT in late April. Since then it has either rained, or I couldn't wax for other reasons. The car has been garage kept. The NXT is still beading strong, but the car is pretty dirty. There is a lot of residue on the upper panels from a heavy application of convertible top dressing (M38).
I washed with Gold Class wash and dried with a WW drying towel.
NXT Spray is ridiculously easy to use, if you think it through. I used two foam applicators. I sprayed each applicator a couple times on both sides. Then lightly and quickly, I smeared the wax onto the paint, using both hands and both applicators. If a pad started to drag, I gave either the pad or the panel a quick light spritz of wax and continued around the car until the entire car was covered. (If you miss a spot don't fret; this is a quick booster wax, remember? You'll get that spot the next time. If the wax is forming droplets, you're using too much product. You should barely be able to see the film.)
When I was done, the car was covered in a very light, almost imperceptible haze. I then took two Ultimate Wipes (you can also use Supreme Shines) folded into quarters and with one in each hand I went around the car removing the haze. Voila! Total time (on a Miata) about 15 minutes, working slowly and deliberately (meaning, less than normal speed; I'm still going slow, friends.) When I'm up to speed I see that taking 10 minutes tops on a Miata, 15 or 20 minutes tops on a typical mid sized sedan like my Subaru Legacy.
I didn't like this product the first couple times I used it, because I was out of touch with it; I didn't understand it, how the product's successful use required that the application be in tune with the product conceptually. Sure, if you spray every panel and work the product into the paint, you might as well use regular NXT. But the NXT Spray is thinner, spreads faster, dries quicker, and comes off with less effort. Combine that with doubling up on the applicators and towels, and spraying the product onto the applicators (to avoid cleaning overspray from body seams), and you have one shining car with that NXT goss, and QUICKLY.

Like some of you, I didn't like NXT Spray Wax as much as Quick Wax until I used it a second or third time. NXT is quick, easy, and convenient as it leaves a deep, lustrous shine on my car and truck. Everybody remarks how the vehicles look like they are recently off the showroom floor. Love that Meguiars. NXT is a winner!
