Nxt!!!

There is always something "better" and there are many products just as good.





But I don't possibly say how there could be much that is easier to use. There are a bunch that are equal in use IMO, but nothing could be much easier.

Have you tried EX-P or WG ... Tey are even easier to use
 
I cant answer for other people and I don't want to BASH NXT but since it came out in JANUARY I used it often and only got about 4-6 weeks durability on the product.I said this numourus times I dont really care because I wax every 2 weeks most cars but some one saying 3 months is really hard to believe.
 
Believe it.....I have no reason to exaggerate.......I've been detailing for a long time.....and I use many different products.....I will be doing a quick detail on a Mercedes that I AIO'd and NXT'd in two weeks....I did the detail on June 16th.....the client washes the car herself....She dries it with a CWB followed with a microfiber towel. My follow up detail will include a wash and using the NXT spray wax booster afterward.....I will take pics of the finish after the wash and then after the booster too. :cool:
 
Alan-durability is greatly influenced by enviromental factors. Acid rain and nearby heavy industry can affect how long a product lasts. I am also sure Alaska has some very rough winters which can also affect product life.



I still use NXT regularly on my customers cars because I get about 3-4 months of beading and excellent appearance. If it was only lasting 4-6 weeks, I wouldn't use it. Last thing I want is a customer mad at me because he paid for a wax job and less than 2 months later water is laying flat on the paint. I tried Gold Class when it came out on my own car and some customers cars and stopped using it because it just didn't last long enough.
 
I like NXT and all, but am I the only one who wonders why it's the only wax that requires a booster wax to keep it looking good?



My take is that the chemicals that protect last a long time, but the ones that look good wash away quickly, thus necessitating the booster wax for optimum results (durability AND beauty).

I have never used the booster and have good luck with the "beauty" .. Maybe some of my "beauty" is in the prep.



I just took the "booster" ad another marketing QD and I'm not a fan of QD sprays as a part of maintainence. I will occasionally use them at a car show but not on a daily basis.
 
NOT doubting anyone I believe all takers and yes Where you live makes a major difference.ARE the cars outside 24/7 or are they garaged? that could make a major difference in my theory
 
TERRY,I won't doubt you but if you do a search on this topic HERE and DC you will find I am not a lone in my opinion by a longshot.

Alan your going to find this with any product .. the cars I have done with it are not garage queens and most sit out at least 12/16 hours a day.



We have an atmosphere here that is high in SO2/SO3 ( add moisture and it gets ugly ) and all but one of the cars I used it on are seen regularly by me and one back as far as 10 March .. another June 3 and both these and the rest still have the gloss and some beading. The 10 March one is my moms and the 3 June one is a bi-weekly customer.



Of the 8 cars done with NXT only one is not holding up and I'm not sure why.



I still feel that some that experience short life are contributing to it themselves with the use of toppers and QD's. JMHO

And depending on where you are it could be even longer than 3 months. Like 6 for me (Oct-April), making NXT out of the question.

Forget about the Z****_and the N** for now, I think both of them got enough attention/hype already. There are a lot of under-rated waxes floating around, just have to look for them. Maybe it’s time to get a better/clearer picture of durability. I am in California, Orange County specifically, so durability is not a major issue. It seems to me that you are one of DA MEN (a compliment, not an offense), been there done a lot of waxes and in the best condition (oh yeah,winter in Canada is pretty brutal) of giving a better picture of durability. If you don’t mind, could you tell us how your car is used in those 6 months - a garage queen, outside 24/7 days/week, a daily driver, etc…. and how you maintain it (I guess your car would be fully detailed prior to the winter season). This will help greatly.:xyxthumbs

Meh, I'm not Da Men, not even close. Always learning, always trying to learn.



As for my car. It is a daily driver. Last year I prepped for winter at the beginning of August (I know, pretty early) with SG x3 spaced 1 week apart, and blitz x1 on the fourth week. I hand washed the car up until the end of October. After that I went to the touchless car wash at the local gas station. I let the car air dry. No drying towels after exiting. I never QD'd at all. And that's it. SG heold up pretty well. I'd say it was on it's last legs in March, and pretty much gone when I detailed with WG this May. It realistically lasted 6 months. I was pushing it the last two months (april, may).

Alan.....I believe you......as it's been said over & over ......It depends on the environment as to durability. I'm not alone either as to getting 3 months from NXT. No searches are required either way.....

Looks like you found your destiny. Just curious, is your daily driver outdoor 24hrs/day, indoor at home, or indoor both at work and home?

The car sits outside at work during the day (Mon-Fri), and is garaged evenings and weekends.
