NXT tech protectant ... good & bad!

NXT tech protectant is very thick, sticky, and greasy.



I wouldn't even consider wiping it on my dash, but I think it's great for exterior trim and gives great coverage on tires.



In summary,

NXT for interiors:down



NXT for exterior trim and tires :up
 
I second roscoe54.

It seems like it would leave a greasy mess on the interior, but it doesn't. It seems to dry from an oily substance to nothing in a very short time. It leaves a "richer", or maybe darker, satin appearance without being shiny or oily. And it has cut down the dust on the treated surfaces.

I use it like I do any other protectant; apply with cotton towel, let sit for a few minutes, then wipe surface with a MF. This works great for 303, Vinylex, and NXT. I've found the MF wipedown (or buffing) really prevents my dash from getting a shine with any of those products.

Another :up for the protectant on tires. I think I'll stick with 303 for my dash, but for tires and wheel wells, the NXT dressing works well.

I find if you shake the NxT Protectant bottle up before application it comes out thinner - but I didn't like the shine it leaves on interiors - I like more of a matte finish - Gold Class Vinyl Protectant does that ;)
 
NXT looked very rich and black on my tires. Too bad it went away after a few days of light rain. The Meguiars High Gloss seemed to work very nicely, but it just picks up too much dirt. :nixweiss

That is funny, I find the GC protectant to be too shiney and very greasy. Maybe I got a bum bottle.:nixweiss



I find that the NXT protectant looks nice on tires, but for the interior, I will stick with PB's natural look or meg's #40.
 
I used NXT Tech Protectant for the interior of this Corvette. It was a little shiny at first but by the time I finished the rest of the interior it lost most of its shine. I did go over it lightly with a microfiber to get any residue where I had applied it a little too thick. I used a foam applicator to apply the protectant.



I haven't tried it on tires yet but I think I will check it out...;)

Yep, that's my combo of choice.



303 interior + NXT exterior trim and tires:xyxthumbs



SilvaBimma,



When I first tried NXT protectant on my tires I did one side with NXT protectand and one side with Armorall. The NXT side lasted considerably longer.



I think it's VERY durable.

I found the same thing to be true. I did a 303/NXT comparison and the NXT lasted a good while longer. After the sheen is gone (6 days of dry weather), the tire stays black MUCH longer than with the 303.
 
On a recent detail of my F150 I used NXT Generation Tech Protectant on the exterior trim and tires to try it. It is a little greasier than some of the other products, but as I applied it I remebered something from the Mother's Protectant label that said to apply to all exterior trim prior to waxing to help keep wax from sticking to the trim. On my F150 there is a lot of textured vinyl and and rubber trim around all the windows, the mirrors, hood cowl, and bed rails. Well, well, what a treat the NXT turned out to be. I used 1ZMP, AIO, followed by Collinite Marques de Elegance and even when I got careless around the trim, the residue wiped right off. Easier than taping and still left the trim looking great after I was done

I agree. I've only used it a little bit, but I used it on the 200SX interior. It gave even the super cheap, hard plastics in that car a nice rich look. It's not so much shiny, as a sheen. It looks nice. I haven't had it on long enough to comment on dust or lasting. It also seems to look glossy at first but after a few minutes it settles down to a nice look. I like it. I'm debating using it in the Aurora, but I still haven't tried out the 303 I got.



NXT looks really nice on tires. It gives them a nice healthy black look and isn't overly glossy. The rain took it completely off though, but it sure looked great until then. :)
 
I really like it on my tires too. I put it on and let it sit for about 30 minutes then buff it. It leaves a nice black satin finish that lasts for the week between washings. For interiors I'm partial to cockpit premium. I like the matte finish.

I seen you post a comment like this before but I could not find what product you use. I like the matte finish also. However, I am not satisfied with Vinylex of 303 on the interior of my suzuka blue S2000.
