    Fantastic job!

    I noticed that you said NXT 2.0 Wax doesn't last long... I just bought some Megs NXT 2.0 Wax.... how long does it usually last?

          Also, do you find it easier to clay while the car is wet or after drying? I only ask because I work out side so I end having to fight with the sun but you are working indoors so I just wanted to know.
          The thing I had between my fingers is a piece of the clay bar.

          I prefere claying while the car is still wet. It would also be more work for me to dry first.

          @askeniTe: I used NXT 1.0, don't have 2.0 yet. For me it lasts maybe 3-4 washes, so let's say a month. 2.0 is better from what I heared.


          Thanks again to all of you!

            Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Best thing you can do is find a wax "you" like and use it on your car.

            How long any wax lasts depends upon how the car is treated after it's waxed. Wax is meant to protect paint by taking the brunt of an attack and wearing off so that your paint doesn't wear off. As such it's supposed to wear off and as it does wear off you simply apply more during your next detailing session.

            By attack we mean anything that comes into contact with the paint that can wear the wax off, for example when you wash your car the action of a wash mitt rubbing across the surface can actually micro-abrade any coating off the paint.
