i saw this product at my local checkers auto parts and was wondering if anyone has used it? and if so, whatchu think of it? i was going to buy it, but it was $10 ... which was kind of on the steep side for a QD wax. im currently using eagle one wax-as-you-dry and its doing ok for its price ($4 at walmart). if anyone used this product, gimme some feedback since i am quite interested in how this one would turn out. the NXT tech wax is excellent....
 
I like the smell but not the price here in Belgium, about 20$ a botlle.

Beside the high price, ot works well, but not as good as spray-wipe-finish Optimum Car wax.

You really have to go over the panels with a clean MF to buff.
 
I find that OCW is alot easier to use than the NXT Spray Wax. You have to wait for the NXT to haze and you MUST shake the bottle before using. Another tip is to apply it to your MF towel or app. Thin coats usually work best.
 
I have 2 cases of that. Meguiars loves my truck so they send me so much stuff. I use it for very quick wax jobs. I find it easy to use and can do my entire truck extremely fast. I love the stuff and it works great for what I need it for.
 
I sometimes mix some in with my NXT wash soap. I'll also spray the pad that I am using to apply NXT with it, but as far as a spray wax, I dont like it.
 
I used it on my wife's Explorer in my garage and didn't notice a difference, I did the drivers side only. When I took the truck out of the garage and into the sun I HAD to do the entire truck. I noticed a deeper look to the side that had it but I also apply NXT paste after every wash, the spray wax was faster. It won't last that long but then again I wash it every week.
 
I use it as part of a systematic approach to keeping my cars looking good. I detail every quarter and apply NXT Tech Wax (x2). I use the spray after every other wash to maintain the freshly detailed look and the super slickness. My vehicles always look freshly detailed and the slickness keeps the dirt from getting a hold so the cars wash up easily.
 
Like most of you, I have a ton of waxes/sealants/LSPs. I belong to several car message boards and plenty of users claim NXT as a great wax. At $16 per tin of paste wax at my local Wallyworld, I wasn't quite ready to make that purchase since most of the paste will likely sit on my shelf with its other cohorts. Right below the $16 tin, however, was the NXT Spray wax at $5.67! I thought this was a mistake, but checked the price and it came up as $5.67, so off I went in line to make the purchase. I applied it later that night onto my wife's graphite gray pearl IS300 thinking it wouldn't be "all that" and to some extent I was right. The car stays outside by the way. Ease of use is how I would describe the spray wax. I like it better than the Mother's Reflections spray wax. It comes out almost like a QD spray, but a bit more thick, but not so thick that you can't get a nice thin layer.



The results the next day was simply outstanding. The metallic flake on that car literally blew up in my face. I was impressed and I have to agree that for a spray wax, it did the job far better than I expected and for the price? I think I'm going back for more... seriously.



It's been on the car for two weeks now and the shine is still there. If you can find it for less than $7 or $8, give it a try. It really is worth it at that price point.

I love the stuff for a quick go over after every wash.



I do the NXT followed by FK425 and the results are outstanding.



It does work best if you let it stand a while. Doesn't necessarily have to haze, just let it "set up" a bit.
 
It's OK, but there is much better out there. I find that the durability of is very poor, but it's a spray wax so what can you expect. The past few times I've used it I mist the whole car very lightly right after I wash it, then I dry the car and wait for the wax to haze and go over the car with a clean MF. They key I think is really think application, otherwise you just waste a whole lot of product and time (waiting for it to haze). My local Wal-Mart now hasd it on clearance for like $4 for that price it's worth it, but I wouldn't pay much more than that for it.
 
I won some at a show ...I've used it kind of like a quick detailer I think it works nice using it like that, Yes durability isn't that great but a 5 minute wax is nice for touchups at shows ...
