Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Nick. Thank you very much for answering my question. If that is the case then is it also true that M21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0 also contains petroleum distillates?

I apologize for all the questions, but I don't want to cause problems for something I just spent a significant amount of money for me on.

Yes, M21 contains petroleum distillates.

Yes, our NXT Tech Wax 2.0 (G12718) does contain petroleum distillates.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Quick question. Does this contain "petroleum distillates"?

I am asking this question because I have a two-layer laminated wrap on my car. The first layer is KPMF Satin Car Wrap Film laminated to a second layer of 3M 8518 Overlaminate Gloss to add a layer of gloss and protection.

A friend of mine who has Expel on his car say that you should never put a product containing "petroleum distillates" (e.g. Meguiar's Cleaner Wax, Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax - Recommended by the Meguiar's Help Line for a Wrap) on a wrapped surface or at least Expel. He says that if you put "petroleum distillates" on a wrapped surface it will result in the wrap or at least Expel "yellowing" over time.

Since Ultimate Liquid Wax contains "petroleum distillates", it's out. I have some old bottles of NXT in my garage. The NXT 2.0 bottle does not say that it contains "petroleum distillates". So even though I had application issues with NXT, do to my poor technique - putting on too much product, I am considering using NXT 2.0 to enhance the base gloss wrap surface before the HCW step. However, I am also concerned the my poor technique may also create more problems and not get the results I am seeking (e.g. streaking instead of more gloss).

Since I just spent what is a lot of money for me to have this done to my vehicle to have a color I like and a protected surface, I don't want to have the surface "yellowing" over time. My friend who does use Meguiar's products (M205 & M26) for his painted surfaces, uses CarPro Reload (an SI02 product like HCW) after washing and for daily care a California Duster and Ultimate Quick Detailer (Whatever happened to M135).

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

I think It got a bad durability rap from people applying it too thick. It's been a great lsp for my needs. It's very easy to apply and remove. It smells fantastic! It imparts a great look to the finish, and it is very durable.

When I apply it, I lay it down so thin that I don't think any thing is on the surface. However, after wipe off, the paint is super slick to the touch.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

I also have NXT 2.0, but in paste form. It is still a great wax, sure it may no longer be meg's top wax, but it does have a nice, candy-coated look. Easy to use as well, and reasonably priced.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

So cool touch is that NXT 2.0 comes with a matching purple applicator...............

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Just letting the good people at Meguiar's know that I love NXT 2.0, and still use it regularly. Great results every time!

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

NXT 2.0 is an easy to use product, but as with many products, you have to apply it as thinly as possible to minimize/eliminate waste. It also allows the product to haze faster, remove easier, minimizing any oily streaks. Humidity and temp. definitely plays a huge factor on how fast NXT 2.0 or any other wax/sealant dries. NXT 2.0 is designed to dry to a haze before removal. If not, you won't get optimum results and protection.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

The last few times i applied 2.0 it left oily swirls behind. I was able to remove them by rubbing hard with quick detailer, but i would like to prevent it entirely.

I left the wax on for 20 minutes, and due to time restraints i had to remove it at that time without bothering with a swipe test. Too soon?

Yeah probably. That and perhaps too much product..

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

The more you detail or at least wax your car, you'll definitely become better. The entire practice will become a lot neater, and you'll be able to apply wax (any wax) a lot thinner, so thin you'll hardly believe that there is wax on the paint. To assist the final "clean-up" of your wax job in case you missed anything, you can use a quick detailer or even mist of water especially on tighter spots. Thicker applications which I've been guilty of in my experience didn't make buffing off the wax any harder, but it did leave uneven/patchy/smeary look which is clearly seen on dark paint, this is what i experinced with the liquid NXT 2.0 with the paste. It's to easy to use to much product with the liquid without being too aware of it.. the paste, it is a bit harder to apply thinly but it makes you or me more methodical in applying waxes, preventing or at least minimizing any streakiness.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Thanks. You are right, Billy, I used too much wax. And I've read the tutorials, BUT...in practice things can get messy hehe. I'll check the car later to see if anything else went wrong.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0

When the NXT 2.0 dries too much on the paint, can it damage the paint? Thanks!

The only damage that's likely to be done to the paint is the possible marring from excessive rubbing. I've found missed spots of dried NXT weeks later when I was doing door jambs, under hoods or trunks and wiped it off without effort. No offense intended, but the first thought that occurs to me is that you're using way too much product. Cleaner Wax is very forgiving in that regard, which is why it's my most recommended product for inexperienced users, but when you moved to the NXT as a topper(good choice BTW), it was a bit more sensitive to over-application. If you're a newbie here, do a bit of searching of the tutorials and you'll find that you only need enough product to cover the surface, even if you can barely see it. Spend a bit more time in careful application and you'll be rewarded with less effort expended in removal, as well as using much less product per wax job.
Again, I don't mean to be condescending, but I've been using NXT for many years and my only issues with difficult removal were purely due to my own carelessness in application.
