First time using the new NXT Tech Wax 2.0

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0 First Time!

Anyone had any streaking issues with 2.0?

I expected to see some sort of streak when I removed NXT because my car was black, but I didn't see anything at all, it was easy removal. Outside temperture was mid 60's when I worked.

Thanks.

Sounds good to me.

NXT original would streak on me, but it usually went away after 24 hours or so.

I had slight streaking issues with the NXT 2.0. BUT, I have to say the following:

1) the surface was NOT properly prepped/cleaned. It had a layer of freshly applied 82 under it (via PC), but was not clayed prior to the 82. The NXT 2.0 was applied by hand with a brand new foam applicator.

2) it was used on a black hood from an older car. The hood was repainted and was not the original OEM paint. The paint job has a lot of flaws in it.

3) I tried to wipe the part that was streaky with UQD, and it removed most of the streakiness, but there was still some left behind. Subsequently, it rained shortly thereafter and I was unable to check whether the rain removed the streakiness. I did not try wiping the surface with Last Touch since I did not have time.

All-in-all, I felt that the NXT 2.0 left behind a nice slick finish. Compared to 21 on a well kept surface that was also undercoated with a layer of 82, I feel that the 2.0 left behind a slicker feeling with less effort and on a lesser prepared surface. For the average consumer, and IMHO, NXT is a great product that requires minimal skill with maximum results. I can't wait to see how 21 2.0 compares to NXT 2.0.

I can't wait to see how 21 2.0 compares to NXT 2.0.

I have a feeling that #21 2.0 and NXT 2.0 will be pretty much identical in performance. With the original versions of those two, #21 was a heck of a lot more durable than NXT, but I think with version 2.0 we'll probably find that the differences are now too close to call. That's definitely good because #21 has never been easy to find, while NXT has always been readily available everywhere.

*************

I think most of my streaking issues (with NXT original) are due to the product taking too long to dry. I won't allow a wax product to sit much longer than 20 minutes or so because of dust accumulation.

Maybe I'm being a bit too picky, but I don't want to grind dust into a freshly prepared surface by waiting too long for the wax to dry.

I'm referring to machine applied methods here. I have no such wait time with hand applications.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0 First Time!

I am getting some slight streaking issues too, but like max image, the surface wasnt completely prepped. I also think the 40 degree temperature isnt helping either. But otherwise it looks awesome!

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0 First Time!

you know we had rain storms last week thru Sunday in So Cal, so I had to clean up my car on Saturday between storms. I re-applied NTX Tech Wax 2 over hood and spoiler, again no streaking. I just used yellow applicator pad. and very thin coat.

I hope, it will be available soon in Switzerland. Meguiar's FTW!

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0 First Time!

I've been using NXT2.0 since I got a test sample back in September. Really nice product. Leaves a slick, wet finish and the slickness and beading hold up very well. Definitely my favorite synthetic sealant on black paint.

What exactly is this light that you're using to inspect the finish?

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0 First Time!

I am using Brinkmann, I am sure many of us are using same model.

Re: NXT Tech Wax 2.0 First Time!

I just did a review which included NXT V2 and to say the least, it is a fantastic product! You can see the review at 'The 9 wax showdown'.

Simply put, NXT V2 is without a doubt, not only one of the easiest waxes to use, but the best looking, with some of the best beading and sheeting I have ever seen. Absolutely zero streaking issues for me after just a ~15 min drying time and it was unbelievably effortless to remove. I plan to do a quick side by side of it and my other favorite, Eagle One Nanowax to see how they directly compare in sheeting!
