Re: Which Wax gives you the best Gloss and Reflection?

in my opinion gold class leaves a wetter look but i noticed that i didnt see my metal flake as much as i did with NXT 2.0

Both NXT and Gold Class have their own look and both have appealing attributes.

But, to clarify some info above:

Gold Class has mostly synthetic ingredients with some natural components, like carnauba.

NXT contains no abrasives.

Hope his helps.

Re: Which Wax gives you the best Gloss and Reflection?

personally i havnt used any of the professional-line products, out of the consumer range i thinkit is a hard choice between Nxt and Gold class, both products have different benefits -

Gold class wax has always impressed me with its more premium image and also being an almost 100% natural wax, with hardly any synthetic ingredients, for some reason I am more 'pleased' when using this wax.

Nxt on the other hand has more of a 'popping' appeal, as it is a synthetic wax, and contains light cleaning abrasives, but a hard choice between the two..

Gold class paste all day long.

Just picked up a CASE of Gold Class paste wax for $20 (14oz. tins). I'm set for a while.

I beleive at the point in which you want to put down your NXT, I would suggest starting the paint from scratch, completely remove all the GC you might have on it, you want to have the nxt as the base layer, then top from there

Thanks for the info, Bud. However, when it comes to studies and such, I'd like to see someone cite the source for such suggestive information, assuming there is a properly-identifiable organization or source that published the findings . I've tried a bunch of the combinations listed, but not enough to really say. All I know for sure is that I love NXT 2.0 liquid for so many reasons.

NXT 2.0 Liquid is my new favorite. Just picked up a bottle today and it has an awesome eye popping shine plus it is silky smooth.

Re: Which Wax gives you the best Gloss and Reflection?

NXT 2.0 Liquid is my favorite beause when used on a prepped surface produces eye popping results

Re: Which Wax gives you the best Gloss and Reflection?

I have been a fan of 26 since the '80s. Love it! Recently, however, I have been using NXT 2.0 liquid. Very impressed! My cars are metallic black, metallic taupe, and metallic silver. Two are classics. I love the way NXT gives each a deep, jewel-like finish. Makes me proud just to look at the vehicles. Yes, NXT seems to be short-lived. I don't mind as I love to detail the cars and get that flawless, just-waxed shine. The only downside is the cars are so slippery that it can be a challenge to put on car covers ;-) Totally agree with Erik that the genius is in the prep work (cleaning, claying, taping, polishing). That's why I go to Irvine to learn from the masters at Meguiar's.

The one I apply after properly preparing my paint.

It's all about the cleaning/ prep process.
