Differnece between Nxt generation 2.0 and Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax

[Richard1]

I've been using the NXT Generation Tech Wax, but I see so many offerings. What is the difference, or what would be the recommendations for choosing between these two products.

Ultimate Wax is their longest lasting wax. It's more durable than NXT 2.0.

Ultimate Wax also beads and sheds water like no other. I would say it's better than NXT2.0 as well.

Removal is also different between the two. You don't need to let Ultimate Wax dry unlike NXT 2.0.

Ultimate Wax also doesn't stain plastic trim.

The UW Liquid applies different and wont stain trim.

It sounds like ultimate liquid wax is the better choice all around.

As long as you dont mind a little learning curve, maybe a bit of streaking the first time till you get it right.

And if you do get streaking, just lightly spritz the surface with water and wipe off.

I dont know what you mean by that

I mean the first time you use it, you will probably apply it a bit too thick, or let it sit too long, and end up with some streaking.

Just takes a little practice.

But as noted, if you remove the wax with a damp cloth, or mist the surface while removing, it solves most streaking issues easily enough.

Some people wont like a product if they cant get it perfect the first time they use it.

You are saying the UW is more apt to streak?

[Murr1525]

Re: Differnece between Nxt generation 2.0 and Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax

The Ult. Wax Liquid can streak if applied too thick or allowed to dry.

You will find many posts on this around the forum here.

Waxes/sealants can streak if applied to thickly (like collinte 845 or even mothers synthetic waxes), even non meguiars waxes do, if using Ultimate Liquid, apply to a panel or 2, wait 5 mins., then remove apply it as thin as you can, so thin that you can barely see it (take advantage of its thin film technology). It shouldn't be allowed to dry to a haze. If you're afraid of streaking or the different behavior of Ultimate Liquid, you can try the paste instead, it applies more like a "traditional" wax but still has the hydrophobic polymer and thin film technology and still the most durable megs wax.

Thanks. I'll get a bottle and try it. I love the shine I get now. Longer lasting would be nice, but didn't want to give up the shine, water beading, and ability to just blow off the dust when I've left it in the garage for a few weeks.

I have a little more than one bottle of the nXt, but once I finish the other two cars it will go fast.

Just picked up ULW yesterday.
Haven't used it yet and only thing I can say right now is that I think it smells better than the NXT

Should give better results as well, just be aware of its characteristics vs. NXT 2.0
