nice write up and work.

Thanks for taking the time to test all the different waxes.The only one looked different(not better),but different was the Black Magic.Being darker.

like everything else in life,it's the time consuming prep that counts.

Thank you. I think you could save a little time and hit up the Meguiars open garage though.

I can't decide if I should fly or drive to the open garage, I want to but its going to cost about the same either way. Road trip to the open garage anyone?

I think the more people who do these side by side comparisons, come to the same conclusion.

That was actually the reason I set up the comparison.

A lot of pople claim brand "A" is better than "B" but you never really know until you compare them side by side.

Thanks for the compliment. I really enjoyed hosting the event. I was actually approached by a member of a local S2000 group this week wondering if I'd hold another for their them.

I think we all learned from the demonstration that some of the fancy "boutique" waxes really don't look any better than commerically available products like the NXT 2.0. Zaino may have a fancy shmansy name, but it didn't look better than either the 2.0 or the Black Magic.

Rasky,

Awesome event! I wish I lived closer as I would have loved to be a part of the event. Looks like everyone had a good time and learned a lot. I'm hoping Meg's sets up a class somewhere in the Northeast so as to perfect my DA skills.

Thanks again to Chad-aka Rasky for hosting the meet. It was very informative and helpful, especially for the people new to detailing cars. I along with Chad was quite amazed at how dark the Black Magic looked. However, it is a nightmare to remove and leaves a greasy film.

The NXT 2.0 kind of won the day. Had depth about the same as the Black Magic, but is oh so much more user friendly.

Amount of compression of the pads I perceive from these pictures indicates too much pressure is being used with Flex.

Disagree. I am the one in the picture using the Flex. I applied the same amount of pressure that I normally use on my random orbital.

Interesting !!! holding a class thought about that myself, I'm sure the turn out would be over whelming... Nice work Rasky as usual..

Here is a pic of the clay test. You can see how the Turlte Wax Liquid clay seemed to have a cleaning effect on the paint, pictured on the left side. Unfortunately it didn't seem to touch the above surface defects which the Meguiars clay removed with little effort.
