Re: maintenance product

Thank you for your reply akimel,then does it needed to apply anything after NXT ?

You don't need to apply anything after NXT, but if you'd like to maintain it between waxings and keep the car looking shiny, you might try applying Ultimate Quik Wax. It's really quite easy and doesn't take a lot of time, as you can see from the above video.

Re: maintenance product

Yeah, I would change to:

Week:
1. Detail - Wash+Clay+Clean+Polish+Wax+Wax (or other appropriate detail)
2. Wash+UQW
3. Wash+UQW
4. Wash+UQW
5. Wash+UQW
etc.

Agreed. I use UQW after every wash.

UQD is also a fantastic maintenance product, it just aids in boosting the shine of the previous wax/sealant you put on. It will bead water like nobodies business but doesn't have quite the durability that UQW has.

UQD is an easier on/off product though with less possibility of streaking or leaving a haze on the surface if you miss a spot.

Both have their place in a detailing arsenal and I use both liberally.

Re: maintenance product

Hi guys, are these steps right to apply?

When the car washed completely then;
Before we start the below step do we need clay??
1)Meguiar's Show Car Glaze #7
2)Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0
3)Meguiar's Pro Polymer Sealant #20

Eliminate step #3. M20 is a cleaner wax. It will remove all previously applied polish and wax. Use M20 by itself or top it with NXT.

Re: maintenance product

Hi, Litebulb. The UQD that you are using will not affect the bonding of NXT to your paint. It sounds like you're doing a great job. I'm sure your vehicle looks clean and shiny.

Did you ever get around to trying Ultimate Quik Wax. It compliments NXT very well. Here is a video on how to apply it:

Re: maintenance product

Sure. Though since it is an old thread, have you tried UQW yet?

Re: maintenance product

-Reviving my old thread-

I have been using UQD for my maintenance. Practically, NXT2.0 every month and UQD every week.

Week 1 - Wash, NXT2.0 & UQD
Week 2 - Wash & UQD
Week 3 - Wash & UQD
Week 4 - Wash & UQD

Hence my question - since I have UQD on the paint, will NXT2.0 sits properly with the paint?

Re: maintenance product

hi. i am about to get hold of UQW. as i read, the application process of UQW is - mist, spread it out with cloth, leave to dry, then buff.

if the above said process is true, wouldnt it be the same as applying the NXT2.0?

You could also moisten the MF with UQW, spray the surface, rub it in with the primed side of the MF and wipe dry with a dry portion.

Re: maintenance product

What I would do, is use UQD after every wash, and UQW every other wash. Then do a full detail once every month or even two months.

The UQD and UQW will really help extend the life of NXT 2.0.

Re: maintenance product

lastly, for wheels product. there are currently too many models of tire shine that megs is offering. i want something long lasting. i am currently using insane shine, which i find it to be so-so, nothing amazing.

also, for rims cleaner? i have seen some of my local car wash, they tend to spray some sort of chemicals to the rims, let is soak, and then rinse it off. the results - a very shiny wheels. anything from megs with this sort of cleaning capability?

I am very happy with NXT insane shine tire wet. It lasts a long time and has the highest shine of any tire wet I've ever used.

It depends, what kind of wheels do you have? If they are uncoated aluminum you are going to have to use Hot Rims aluminum wheel cleaner or Gold Class AWC. If you have coated wheels I would highly recommend Wheel Brightener from the Detailer Line; it will tackle even the most horrendous brake dust deposits and other miscellaneous filth.

Re: maintenance product

You would use SwirlX as your DC1 step.

Although the old ScratchX could be used to use it up.

Re: maintenance product

yep. i did a full detail (includes claying+polishing+cleaning). could be me using too much soap that washes chunks of wax away. ok, i now get the idea on UQW usage. as for UQD, i dont think i will be that hardworking in removing dust between washes =P

i think weekly wash will be sufficient to wash off the dusts. will prolly get UQD to keep in the boot for just in case bird attacks.

also, i heard that DC1 is getting phased out. can i use scratchx to replace my DC1 step? i will prolly work all my steps by a DA machine on my next detail (elbow is getting old).
