Default Mequair's NXT Tech Wax

Man, i just did half my spoiler in the new NXT tech wax, and the other half in the Meguiar's Gold Class wax, and I couldn't believe the difference! The NXT side was silky smooth and shinier than the Gold Class side. I had heard good things about it but couldnt believe it would be this drastic. I can't wait to use this stuff on the whole car!

yeah that stuff goes on and wipes off easy; seems to last well too. i just got some of the nxt tech quik wax for maintenance between full fledged waxing. been using the regular quik wax before and it gives a quick shine boost. HTH

After reading other posts on this list I decided to try the Maguires nxt car wax and have to admit I was pleasantly supprised. It made the car look great, but on a new car I rather expected that. Where it really made a difference was on my 2000 F-150. I kept the truck garaged (it has since been relegated to the driveway - with a car cover) and since I work out of my home it was mostly inside, but I'll be darned if it didn't make the color deeper.

I've used both the nxt and the gold. Both go on and come off easy. The nxt does seem to have a better shine. I needed to rewax only 8 weeks after putting the gold on in Jan but that may have been because I have to wash her every three days. (The pollen sucks in Alabama and I don't have a garage!!!!) So I rewaxed just yesterday with the nxt and I'll be making a note of how long I need to go before rewaxing. Lasting power will be key for me.

After using the NXT wax or Gold try using the Meguiars cleaner polish( its a very mild liquid rubbing compound) at least once a year to strip off the wax build up,then re-apply the NXT.Its great stuff.

I just got the Gold wax and haven't used it. Should I have gotten the NXT?

NXT is better than 95% of the stuff out there.
Want better & easier? Try Waxing Frenzy
http://www.geoffreybodinefrenzy.com/
Better shine than NXT! Have tried both.

Here is a pic of Frenzy on my white GT. As you know, white is a difficult color to get a shine out of. I think the pics speak for themself.

Not necessarily. It depends on your goals. Gold class is carnuba based. So I think it lasts longer on the car and might have a better shine. But the NXT Tech wax will protect your car better since it's a synthetic polymer.

Found sometihng like that on MEguiars.com but I can't remember exactly how the site phrased it.

I used both and then switched over to Zaino. If you haven't tried them I would recommend it. They last and are real easy to work with. My car is a daily driver and the weather here gets pretty nasty real quick.

You can only get it on-line, Zaino.com. Fast shipping also.

I would set the NXT at the same level of 3M synthetic wax, but still below ZAINO.

But i use the NXT more since it is easier to get than the later

You should really try Frenzy!!
I have tried tons of products. Here is a small sampling of what is in my garage. I used to write a detailing column, trust my findings.

Listed in order of best shine:
Frenzy
Platinum Ultimate Paint protection
Blackfire all finish
Zaino Z2,Z5,Z8
Rejex
Poor Boys EX-P
S100
Mequirs NXT
Wet
Wolfgang paint sealant
Vanilla Moose
Menzerna FMJ
Klasse All in One
One Grand Blitz wax
P21S
Pinacle Paste Glaz

However for a red car: Ally a few coats of Blackfire and top with platinum Ultimate Paint protection. It will look SO deep - you could almost go swimming in it. (of course the whole key to proper shine is the prep)
