Re: The 9 wax showdown!
If the results are long term, then Collinite win hands down. At least 6 months durabilty out of it, compared to weeks for the others in this test (from my experience).

Re: The 9 wax showdown!
Great work. Now I am happy that I have the Nxt 2.0
I have a suggestion though:
can you compare Nxt with Mothers? I am hearing from car enthusiasts that they compare with Meguairs
Black Magic? I read from a Consumer review that they say its the best. But what about from the point of view of the detailer?
Production? watched videos about this and I think this has been discussed in the forum
Zymol? Car enthusiasts as well use this
Zaino? I heard that they are good as well

Re: The 9 wax showdown!
Great work. Can't say that enough, although the thing I was most excited about NXT 2.0 was that it is supposed to last much longer than V1 and comparable with other "long lasters". That put me on a bit of a downer.
Right now I'm a NXT user and was looking to use NXT 2.0 on that basis alone. I might use #26 though. Not sure.Leave a comment:

Re: The 9 wax showdown!
Generally the idea of a wax is to NOT cover swirls; NXT even struggles to cover up anything beyond very very light swirls/hazing. Rather, you should get your paint looking the way you want it to look BEFORE you wax, and than use the wax/sealant as a way to protect that surface from the outside and make it easier for the most important step; maintenance. This is where the power of detail sprays come in hand, especially UQD.Originally posted by 08 Corolla View PostLeave a comment:

Re: The 9 wax showdown!
Great review! I have Turtle ICE paste polish and I have to say I am not satisfied with it at all. It hardly covers up swirls by an orbital or by hand. Now I know to never buy ICE paste again.Leave a comment:

Re: The 9 wax showdown!
EXCELLENT WRITE UP! the pinnacle performed well, but the cost makes me think that it is a expensive paint care option. That NXT stuff gets great reviews. I suppose I outta

Re: The 9 wax showdown!
Thanks for the info Wolf-Strong.
I am surprised that NXT V2 is really that much better than V1. V1 is my wax of choice at the moment and I've got nearly a whole bottle of it to use up before I try V2... can't wait!

Re: The 9 wax showdown!
Well I just did another side test on the trunk while it was unprepped and swirled up (I just clayed it) with Souveran, NXT V2, and Eagle One Nanowax. Simply put, Souveran did add a little shine, but it was on the scale of more like 1 on that scale I posted. Eagle One did a FANTASTIC job of covereing up swirls and I would say a good 50-70% of the swirls were covered up! I simply could not believe how good this stuff is and why no one ever brought it up before, or at least not more often. Then, there was NXT 2.0. Guys, I simply could not believe it...not only did NXT add a good wet look, but, you may not believe this, but it covered up at least 80-90% of the defects! The paint literally just looked like I just polished it!
This also leads me to another conclusion. When I had prepped the surface prior, even with a cleaner that contained polish (M9), Souveran showed more improvement than on the unpolished surface. What this leads me to believe is that Souveran was indeed made for the paint that is perfectly prepared with zero orange peal and the works. If you have that kind of paint job with that kind of prep work, than I would say give Souveran a shot because it does seem as though it may produce an unbelievable result. Outside of that though, it seems whether the paint is prepped or not, NXT V2 is unreal in its ability to make the paint shine. Who knows, it might even still out perform Souveran on that perfect finish considering ho well it is doing right now, but as I said before, that was never the intention of this test.
I also did a little fun comparison between Mother's Cleaner Wax paste, Meguiar's Cleaner wax paste, and ColorX. Mother's Cleaners wax was slightly easier to use than the Meguiar's Cleaner wax, and came off a bit easier. It also had a more pleasant scent, and the old style tin from the 60s. Neither though, completely removed the water spots. ColorX on the other hand not only went on easier, not only did I not work it as much as the others, and not only did it remove easier, but it removed 100% of the water spots! This was just a fun little test I wanted to do, but I gotta say, I am impressed!
Considering I have a stockpile of Ultimate Quick Detailer, Meguiar's NXT V2 will be the official wax that goes on my paint!Leave a comment:

Re: The 9 wax showdown!
I actually use EO Nano Wax topped with #26 exclusively on my car. I am glad to see that they held up very well in the test.
I still want to try NXT 2.0 topped with #26 though.
Great test and I applaud the effort.Leave a comment:

Re: The 9 wax showdown!
I like all of the EO Nano products. I use them on my truck. I cleaned and polished the paint with the Deep Crystal System, and have been washing with the EO Nano Wash and Wax, I wax with the liquid version of Nano Wax. Use WAUD every time I dry it. Every other wash, after drying it, I use the spray EO Nano Wax. I use the Nano Protectant on the entire interior. I haven't used the polish on anything yet.
Eagle One would probably be my go to if Meguiar's wasn't around. Thanks for the testing and information!!Leave a comment:
