Curiosity made me decide to try this product on my new satin white car rather than NXT liquid or new GC liquid.
As others have said, the paste physically is not anything exceptional. It smells like NXT. It seems really to be more of a "hard jelly" than a wax, and that's how it spreads, too.
I was working on clean, unwaxed, UNSWIRLED factory paint. What a joy! The paint was "squeaky". I used QEW and clayed a bit; the clay picked up nothing (Subaru ships their cars with a white plastic coating on them), so I stopped and went right to the wax. The temperature in the garage was right around 50*. IMO, that is a bit too cool for this product. I found it difficult to get a thin coat, and spreadability was not the best.
Nevertheless, it came off easily, regardless of how thickly it was clumped in some spots, and left a nice slick, shiny, smooth surface.
I guess I'm going to have to get used to the white not photographing well; because of the late afternoon sun and the satin white, I couldn't get any "pop", but it's there. It looks like... well, it looks like NXT.
I really think that I'll have to wait for warmer weather to better assess the difference between the useability of the past and the liquid. Truth be told, I wouldn't have tried the paste in this weather except for that it's new and I was curious. I would have used the liquid in this cold.
