  • Booster Wax

    Overall this product it great! Only problem with mine is that the spray bottle neck didnt seem to be on, and if I tried tightning it, it would just click. Even after many clicks, it would not tighten, therefore I was left with a leaking spray bottle. Then when I would try to spray, I could sqeeze the trigger, but nothign would come out. I would have to stick my finger behind the trigger part and pull the plastic out to **** the stuff into the tube, then spray...every time. Im sure this is not like all other bottles, but I guess I just got a broken one.

    Anyways on with the review. This stuff it great! However I have found that its basicly like waxing the car again. The time it takes to spray this on to a what it says "clean" car, I could have waxed it with a foam applicator and such in a little bit more time. I dont see the point acctually besides you can use it faster. I tried buffing using it whenit was cool out and it was very hard to rubb off (I used cheese cloth). It left streaks. When I used it in the sun, when it was hot out however it comes off very easy and is a beautiful shine. All in all a good product because the shine it leaves it magnificent. 7.5/10. I think im just going to stick with the Speed Detailing stuff.

    Call Customer Care at 1-800-347-5700 and reference this post and they'll take care of you. I've probably uses as much or more of this product as I really like it for keeping the black Pilot looking new and I've never experienced this problem with the bottle or the sprayer.

    Remember, this isn't a quick detailer, mist and wipe type cleaning product, it's basically a very thin, liquid wax.

    Technique will make, or break your results, as well as a little experience learning how to apply it correctly. Check out these tutorials I wrote on using it...

        I used it yesterday and found that it left no depth after using it. its as if it left a haze of some sort. it was applied on a cool surface and i tried spraying some quick detailer to see if it would bring some shine and no luck. I just did a full detail last weekend and the car looked stunning.

          That is interesting. I have no trouble with the Booster Wax in cold weather. It works great in the winter BTW. I do have trouble with it streaking in very high heat and humidity. Applying a very thin coat helps a lot but if the humididty is high enough that doesn't help either. I really like the Booster Wax. I just wish it was easier to use in high humidity. When I want to do a wax touch up in high humidity I just use the NXT Paste. It sets up very fast, even faster than the liquid. The paste is easy to remove, but the Spray Booster Wax is easier still.

            This thing really works!

            I tried it on the hood of my brand new Honda Civic. It has been washed and then waxed with carnauba. After 24 hours I applied NXT SPray wax to a part of the hood. Waited for it to dry then removed/buffed it. Under the sun, the part of the hood where the booster was applied looks a lot darker (Sorry, forgot to take photos. My Civic is colored black with blue metallics). It also removed fine swirl marks.

            The only problem is Meguiar products is very expensive where I live. It cost me more than $12 for the NXT Spray Wax!?
