NXT Tech wax vs Gold Class wax

[whiterock1]

damn--emulsifies I do believe I mean...btw, I like the butter knife idea if using the paste. Makes a lot of sense...

I have never used ColorX. I do use the Crystal series for polish and it comes out very well. I'm not going to polish the Vette until the fall--really doesn't need even the slightest abrasion, as the paint was very smooth--nice wax job, no contaminants, from the dealer. I guess I will just go with the mood as to which I chose tomorrow. Both are liquid, btw. Why do you prefer the paste? It basically emulsivies when you rub, doesn't it? I'm no chemist, but I seem to always have heard no significant diff between the two types.

Both are great products. I alternate between NXT and GC regularly. I do recommend the paste versions . Use a butter knife to move the wax to the applicator (this will keep the can from getting grime in it). No matter which product you use try prepping first with ColorX. It will clean and polish the surface for maximum shine.

I just picked up my '06 Corvette last friday--smile frozen on my face! Anyway, black with a nice coat of wax from the dealer. I washed it, light soap (Mg's, of course!) and put on a coat of NXT. Looked really good. Better than Gold Class? That is the question. I am going to put a second coat on this friday--my wife thinks I am a bit obsessive about car care...and see how it looks. As I mentioned in the past, I have not thought the NXT Gen to be worth the additional cost over GC--at least on my red 2000 WS6 Trans Am. The black Vette will be a good test case. I did see an improvement with the third coat of NG on the T/A. I would expect a second coat on the black Vette to really be outstanding. But to be honest, I am thinking of using the GC instead. The adage "if it ain't broke..." sticks in my mind...

Hey Mike, I have both products(Gold Class and NXT). Would I see a difference in the finish on my truck if I alternated back and forth? Would it do anything if I did a coat of one and a second coat of the other. My truck is very dark blue. Here is a picture right after washing with Gold Class wash and waxing with NXT paste wax.

Play around with it on a couple of cars I think you'll find a place for it in your detailing arsenal.

I am not unhappy with the product,I just thought after reading about NXT,that there would be a bigger difference thats all.

I will try it on my 57 Chevy when I get it out this spring.That will be a good test for it.I use to use nothing but Mirrow Glaze on that car.Now I use Gold Class and Final Inspection when it is just dusty.

I also do a lot of detailing on the side,so I go through a lot of your products.

Thanks for the answers everyone

I use GC on my black 04 tbird and it gives it more of a wet look and depth than NXT did....see my gallery!

I use NXT on my 02 Dakota and it gives it lots of shine and reflectivity.

[Mike Phillips]

How a product looks depends on how you inspect or evaluate it.

The real benefit to any wax will also be seen when the finish is properly prepared to accept the wax and then apply two thin coats of the same product.

For most people, on most paint, Gold Class is going to make the paint look richer in color, more reflective. NXT is going to help eliminate fine swirls and scratches better while adding lots of gloss. NXT will also increase reflectivity and increase richness, but Gold Class is a polish/wax and it does contain an ample amount of polishing oils.
