NXT Tech Wax 2.0

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.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

If you are really really worry about the wax getting onto the chrome parts of your car, you could simply tape them off while you applying wax. NXT Tech Wax 2.0 can only be applied on painted surfaces (as in capitalized letters on the back of the wax's bottle) in which excludes chrome surfaces.

Good luck.

Well......... while true that any and all Meguiar's waxes are designed for use on paint, they can be safely used on chrome, hard & shiny plastics (like headlights, tail lights or glossy plastic panels on ATVs and the like). You just don't want to get most waxes on textured vinyl soft rubber trim as they tend to leave residue on those surfaces.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

I mean that can we apply nxt tech wax 2.0 to chrome places and such other places of car. And unless doesn't applied, if I cause overflow to chrome places or such places how can ı remove them?

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Right from our FAQ page on meguiars.com...

The difference between paste and liquid wax is primarily one of convenience and personal preference. Meguiar's liquid formulas provide the same protection as paste, and are easier and faster to apply.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Hi,
Could you tell me,what are the area of usage of paste and liquid version, and what are the differences?? Thank you..

Paste's are a bit more difficult to apply, but in my experience offer a little more durability as well.

I'm not sure what you mean by "area of usage"

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

So am I correct that some of you are saying NXT 2.0 isn't meant to be a LSP??

No, that's not correct. It most definitely is a LSP.

So am I correct that some of you are saying NXT 2.0 isn't meant to be a LSP?? That's sort of the vibe I'm getting.

As far as spotting and streaking on a black vehicle - YES YES YES - I hate it! I was thinking I was being lazy in wiping off the wax, but there's no way. I always take my time, use clean towels, and use some QD spray to facilitate removal and I STILL get the streaks and spots. And if it rains very lightly the day after, I get what look like water spots, but can easily be removed with UQD. They're just small black spots that look like they're burning into the paint, but it's on top of the wax. Usually after a rain with NXT, there are no water spots to be found - especially a couple days after a detail. Make sense?

Any way to get the NXT to finish up more nicely? I don't want to buy the paste, but if I have to, I guess I will. Or another product on top?

Eventually, I'm going to polish, go with #7, then NXT 2.0 on top, but I just don't have the time to do the Cayenne all in one day. The panel-per-day method will have to suffice, but I haven't tried yet...

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

After using a carnuba paste for years, I have recently added UQW and UQD to the regimen just to keep that just waxed look between carnuba waxes. I have just bought some NXT 2.0 and will begin using this product as well. My plan is to "layer" it over the existing carnuba and UQW base. I know there is much debate over whether or not NXT 2.0 can be applied over a wax base (this goes to the question whether or not NXT 2.0 is a sealant or wax) without stripping existing wax, but that is what I plan to do. Meg's tech reps tell me this will work fine and any differences in stripping exising wax vs not stripping will not be noticeable. Anyone else done it this way?

Applied NXT 2.0 to a good base of carnuba yesterday. Easy to apply and easy to remove. I don't believe much if any of the carnuba was removed in the process. As I planned to top the NXT with One Grand Blitz Wax, I only applied one layer of NXT. I let it cure for 3 hours, though, before waxing. This seemed to be alright as opposed to the 12 hours recommended by some. The Blitz was was noticeably easier to apply and remove...probably due to the slickness left by the NXT. I wasn't satisfied with the shine left by NXT alone, but when the Blitz wax was added, it was more than satisfactory. I added UQD today and it's now outstanding. I believe I would use NXT as a wax when I may not have the time to top it with carnuba, but it won't be my only wax product. It hasn't replaced my carnuba. I can't address the durability of NXT 2.0, but I suspect for an over the counter product it's it's in the 1-2 month range.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Hi pmcjr,

Good to see another Daytona Beacher here!

I have several coats of Pro Yellow Carnauba on my Z3 followed with UQD/UQW and have no issues. in fact, the shine is amazing and people stop me everytime I am out asking just what the heck I use. I know, I've heard that you should not top straight carnauba with synthetics like this but I'm tellin' ya', it has been so easy to use and it looks incredible.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Nxt works perfectly well applied over something like Cleaner/Wax, ColorX, (which are carnuba blends) and applied over itself.

Most would put a wax on top of Nxt, but nothing will explode if you do it the other way.

As long as the surface is clean and applied thin, you'll be ok.

Murr1525,
Thanks for info. I particularly like that "nothing will explode". With 12,017 posts, I'll go with your experience.
