NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

I just waxed (NXT'd) our car late this afternoon. its a silver focus, so synthetic polymer wax is recommended for max pop.

Did you use any clay, cleaner as well? Those will help with looks and durability.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

can i use every time when i wash the car the NXT 2.0;or is better do use the guick wax;

You can use the NXt, but UQW will be quicker and easier to do quickly after washing.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Beads that clump together and roll off are better than ones that sit on the surface and bake in the sun.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

ah, good. Just wanted to make sure. I noticed that the beads were in build up in big clumps then rolls of the hood and other horizontal panels. Its just that Nxt's label/packaging makes big claims on beading and there hydrophobic polymer technology. i guess theres more to the hydrophobic thing than just beading, which i think is a good thing. I actually find sheeting fascinating and unique..

I just waxed (NXT'd) our car late this afternoon. its a silver focus, so synthetic polymer wax is recommended for max pop. its a bit rainy here, kinda erratic. It can get hot and sunny in the first half of the day, and get heavy showers in the afternoon.. a good way to test the wax's durability and to observe that water beading or sheeting effect. Some videos in youtube show NXT 2.0 sheeting rather than beading, which is kinda contradictory to what NXT claims to be good at.

Yes, DC Wax or the Cleaner/Wax will bead much more.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

HI, I'm a new forum-er here, i bought my very first can of NXT techwax 2.0, and my initial impressions about it is that its good. Since its a paste, its a bit more difficult to remove then the liquid (umm.. mothers FX). Had the same initial impressions with both, the shine was at first not as impressive as what i was expecting. I guess it takes a bit of adjusting to these polymer waxes when most of your waxing life you used carnauba products..

However, i didnt find its supposed water beading (or hydrophobic properties) as beady as the crystal carnauba step 3 wax (i like the step 3 wax, easy to remove for a non synth wax). I was expecting more beading to be honest, since thats one of the main attributes of NXT 2.0.. I'm not bashing the NXT, i actually like it (unfortunately, i like it as much as mothers..sorry megiuars). Is NXT also supposed to sheet water in some conditions?

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

It's true. It's quite difficult to make white paints pop. However, if you do not take care of your paint and it's black, it really shows the WORST of your paint. On the flip-side, if you are extremely passionate about detailing (like I am), at the end of hours of detailing, the results are well-worth it.

White paint isnt that hard to make pop.

I enjoy detailing white vehicles.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

White is difficult to make it 'pop'. White need a 'bright' wax that makes it look 'bling'. NXT is Megs 'blingiest' wax I think. Maybe M20 is brighter?

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

I finally had the chance to try it out on my white car (after claying and using a light polish/cleaner). It was easy to apply but:

1) In some cases I couldn't distinguish the areas on which wax was applied (depending on the angle of the sunlight. Specifically I had this issue on the doors only). It became a bit irritating after a while I didn't have this issue with other waxes before.

2) It has a nice effect and the car looks nice again, but I wasn't really impressed with the depth. Not at all. What product would you recommend using on top of the NXT 2.0? I know white is a difficult colour, but I'd like a bit more effect.

Thanks

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0...Proper way to store

For me, I keep all my Meguiars supplies including the NXT 2.0, UQD, UQW, etc inside my closet where there is air conditioning; I think putting anything in the garage will ruin the products or at least it won't be the best that it can be when it is being used the next time... (I stored some unopened once in the garage for only 1 week; the went bad even it is a canned food...)

Thanks for your advice. I'm keeping my paste wax in the frig (that has worked out so well), but moving all liquids to the house. Something I also do is shake each bottle occasionally between uses to keep the mixture from settling and possibly thickening at the bottom.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Here's a couple pictures taken with my iPhone about two months ago. This is about three weeks from the day I completely waxed my car.





Process:
1. Wash
2. Clean - Mother's California Clay Bar w/ Meguiar's Last Touch 1:1
- SwirlX
3. Polish - NONE
4. Wax - NXT TechWax 2.0 (I cannot remember if I topped it off with Gold Class CP)
5. Maintain - Last Touch

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0...Proper way to store

For years, I have stored paste wax in the refrigerator. This helps the wax to last longer, it doesn't dry out or crack. In Florida, where the temperature in a closed garage can get quite hot, this storage method pays off. What about NXT 2.0? Will high temperatures affect this liquid wax? Should it be kept in the refrigerator as well? The same for Ultimate Quik Wax and UQD?
Thanks.
