nxt 2.0 on black

[paoloporsche]

Finally, I have tried the new NXT 2.0(liquid) on my solid black paint, (2 coats ),but...I'm not impressed...the car seems cleaned but not waxed...It's more darker but It's a little "sterile"...I prefer the Gold Class wax, that, in my opinion, is the best wax for black cars...better of many others overpriced waxes...Gold Class forever!

Re: nxt 2.0 on black

LOL ... yeah ... I like #7 #26 on our black car (which is single stage paint), having not been at all impressed with the original NXT Tech Wax or the new M21 2.0. That's the fun of it - each to their own. Was it the liquid, or paste Gold Class that you used?

Re: nxt 2.0 on black

I do have both the liquid and paste version of Gold Class, i do not have a black car but i just like the wet look it bring to my light silver and mocha silver.I do find a very funny way that the gold class behave, one layer of paste + one layer of liquid wax, do give me the best result. I do try with two layer of paste gold class and two layer of liquid gold class but they just can't beat the combination above.

Re: nxt 2.0 on black

I use GC paste and liquid...but, by hand, I prefer paste wax...it's so easy!...I have also tried GC paste (2 coats)+GC liquid (2 coats), but it wasn't a good thing...now I use a pure polish (1 coat) and then 2 coats of GC paste ( the best for black)...

I like using GC liquid when I work on cars that are dark in color. It produces a deep, rich reflection. And I use NG2 liquid on lighter colors (gold, silver, champagne) because - to my eye - the reflection is glossy. It seems to capture and reflect light from everywhere. I am also convinced that the protection provided by NG2 is more durable than GC. But on those dark cars, GC's deep reflection gives such a pop, I can't resist using it.

Re: nxt 2.0 on black

Some like Gold Class, some love NXT Tech Wax, others swear by M26, many think M20 rocks, and plenty of folks think M21 is best. That doesn't even begin to cover the cleaner waxes like M66, M06, Cleaner Wax, or even D151.


And to think some people complain that we have too many products!!!

Re: nxt 2.0 on black

how is Gold Class on minor swirls? Does it hide them as well as NXT or 21? Does it last as long as NXT or 21?

Re: nxt 2.0 on black

The last black car I worked on I topped it with NXT 2.0 and I thought it came out pretty dark & wet looking. After I finished with some M66 I put a layer of NXT 2.0 which on the photo below shows a 50/50 shot with NXT being on the right.


I applied the NXT 2.0 on the hood in direct sunlight at about 1:30p and let it sit for about 15 minutes before I wiped off. I guess everyone has different experiences with the different products.

Re: nxt 2.0 on black

I heard that you are not suppose to apply direct sunlight because it can burn off the product before it has time to work and thus leaving no protection. Is that not the case with the NXT?

Gold Class Wax will help to mask minor swirls, just like any wax on the market that's leaving itself behind on the surface. R&D has stated that the best protecting product in the Meguiar's line is NXT Tech Wax and by default M21 since they use the same protection ingredients.

See this article.

Any wax that works fills to some degree

It's not recommended to work on a hot surface when applying paint care products, this includes waxes and paint sealants.

If your car's paint is in the sun, the sun can warm up the paint to temperatures that will cause the product to want to dry before you're finished applying it and can and will make wiping the product off more difficult.

Meguiar's recommends applying all paint care products on a cool surface in the shade.

See this article,

Working in the sun? How HOT does your car's paint get?

That's why I've tested everything and I have more waxes than I need, I guess I use them depending on my mood

Re: nxt 2.0 on black

Nxt was on the left and the Gold class was on the right. Both from the liquid bottle. I like nxt 2.0 minus the streaking
I learned that Nxt as a base with a coat of gold class on top is a primo combo.

Re: nxt 2.0 on black

there are so many choices out there. You buy so many waxes to get the look that you like and then all your neighbors think you are crazy. Who needs 7 types of waxes.
