Hey Tom, I hear you on the Blackfire. I think I have enough to do 20 applications a year for 20 years, and I only have one bottle. It is still full enough it could pass for new!
From the reviews and such, the Wolfgang sounds like a Blackfire that is less fussy to apply. It is quite a bit thinner than the Blackfire I have (not that that means anything, just saying for comparo sake), and I am very eager to try it. My hope is it will be like a new, improved Blackfire, but maybe it won't be and back to Blackfire I'll go. If it can just bead, shine, look wet, and last like my Blackfire, it'll be a winner for sure (at least with me).
Oh, autogeek is the vendor. I'm not sure if they are the only one, though.

its naturally curly......
I saw the offer but didnt like my chances of them shipping a freebie to Australia!
Much like NXT ( still awaiting its arrival ), I'll wait until the smoke settles and its available until I try it......curse you Autopia, I am starting to collect too many sealants!!

I would not say it is a fad.. It is a new product that the vendor made easy to get got under 10 bucks. Normally it would be like 65 bucks.

Yeah, this stuff kinda snuck up on us ... didn't it?
I really enjoyed the drama of the debut of NXT though.
Guess the samples for $10 are history now, huh?

Agreed, NXT will be the brief stint with a consumer product. Sort of like the cheap affair with the weird girl from accounting because it was dirty and forbidden. No consumer grade sealant is going to stay the baby of Autopia 
Has anyone who has sampled Wolfgang also tried Poorboys EX? I've seen the comparisons made to NXT but not EX. I like NXT but the look doesn't seem to last that long and I'm still having smearing issues.

GoodnClean,
I've used both. Both have excellent initial appearance and slickness. I can't speak for WG's durability (used it for the first time yesterday on a silver Dodge Caravan), but in my experience, EX isn't a heavy-hitter in that department. However, EX is extremely easy to use, and IMO a great "fair-weather wax" that is well-suited to those who wax frequently.
Jury's out on WG, but my initial impression is :up. Ease-of-use was close to EX . . . it takes a bit longer to dry completely, but I found it to spread quite a bit easier than EX; I used very little WG to do the minivan (probably less than 1/2 oz.) Removal for both is very easy . . . neither requires buffing, just a quick wipe and residue is gone.
I may try to use WG on my WRX today, which happens to currently have EX on it. I'll try to compare the different looks of the two products and get back to this thread.

Are you using the EX or the new EX-P?

Too bad I missed the samples, but I'll give it a try anyway!
Thats what I really miss with NXT from EX, NXT just doesn't wipe right off it requires buffing. I also have issues with QDs smearing over the surface with NXT that I've never had before. It almost seems like the NXT surface stays somewhat soft and never really fully cures like other sealants do as you can move the smearing around.

Now that you mention it I had the same problem with FD. I didn't even realize the connection to NXT until I read your post.

:nixweiss Maybe, but it is the off the shelf product I would recommend. Pretty goof-proof if you follow the directions and I like the look.
If Wolfgang proves to be as durable as it is easy to use, it will be around for a long time. It has a very nice wet look but still not quite as deep as a true carnauba.
Poorboy's EX has worked very well for me. Some of the vehicles I have used it on are going on 4 months now and still beading fine with good slickness. The new EX-P looks promising and smells like coconut cream pie! It has a very clear and wet look. Wipes off with ease.
