NXT on white (56K--watch out)

I know, I know. Everyone has their own opinion of NXT. Mine in a nutshell:



1) Convenient--OTC always is.

2) Slick--similar to S100 in this aspect.

3) Liquid, so application by PC is easy.

4) Removal not as easy as EX--compare to removal of #20.

5) Depth is admirable.



With that out of the way, has anyone put this on a white car? The test mule for this was a '96 LS. This was a quickie one hour job total. EO wash and NXT by PC. Prior prep for this vehicle is PwC and 5xEX. This EX was applied in OCTOBER and is still fairly slick. Amazing stuff. Anyway, I wouldn't say "Wow, the NXT looks great" because the car would look good without. The strange thing I noticed: the car turned a crisp alpine white. Anything else I use on this car brings out the almost-metallic pearl color. The NXT hides the metallic aspect of this car and made it look like a totally different color. Thoughts? Scottwax, I know you have an LS this color in your fleet of one million customers. Give it a shot for kicks...

BTW, this car has 145K miles. A headlight was replaced at @60K miles and she gets M1 every 5K miles :shocked

Do you plan to replace your PwC + EX combo with NXT?



No way, brother. As long as Steve is offering the powerhouse, I'm buying. Like I said, the Poorboy's coats had been fundementally untouched since I last went over to my folks' house and did this in October. After washing, it looked like I had just applied the EX. The curiousity came about after the reunion with my virgin EX finish following washing. The color I was used to (white with pearl accents in shaded areas) then changed after removal of the NXT. I highly doubt this is a permanent change, but it was very interesting.



I just had to jump on the NXT train when it pulled in. I'll still play around with it on different cars. The Jeep will definitely get it next weekend (scratch that, probably sometime this week if I get bored) because the fresh alpine white is what I'm looking for on the Wrangler. The LS was unexpected.
