I tested out the new NXT tech wax 2.0 on my car today. I used the CE rotary at the lowest speed since the tech wax is not really recommended for use with a rotary, but with the low speed it worked fine. It turned out great and can't wait to see how long the protection lasts. I did the whole car, wheels, and the calipers. I will tackle the whole car with some compounds for minor scratches and swirl marks in a couple of months. I figured this would hold me over for now.

Took the wheels off to get ready to do the calipers
Calipers before. I cleaned them really well earlier when I washed the car so I wouldn't have to do much prep once the wheels were off.
Applying the techwax. The whole reason I wanted to put tw on the calipers was to protect the clear coat as much as I could. A couple of weeks earlier I had used a wheel cleaner without fully reading the label (lesson learned the hard way). It was not powdercoat safe and it damaged parts of the clearcoat and in some places went through to the paint. Some of the red came off when applying the wax but it wasn't too bad.
Waited ten minutes then took of the wax with a MF.
They turned out great.
Finished wheels shots.
Finished car shots.
Poured some water on the roof to test the beading.
Also did the Interior and engine.
Thanks for looking
