Review:



I normally use NXT but found some E1 for sale at Big Lots for 2.99 a bottle that I couldn't pass up.



What I like about E1 vs. NXT:

-E1 is cheaper than NXT

-Really "wet" look especially on my dark blue paint, unlike NXT which looks more "flat"

-More Glossy than NXT but not as "deep"

-Easy application when comparied to meguiars #12 !

-Dries faster than NXT in same conditions

-Durability, not sure yet, give me a few weeks



What I like about NXT vs. E1:

-Smells better than E1, E1 smells like paint, NXT is fruity

-NXT bottle allow for better pouirng of product onto foam pad, E1 bottle opening is too big

-NXT is liquid is thicker, E1 is runny so you can accidentally pour too much out

-NXT is easier to remove

-NXT leaves less "powder" residue





Both product seem to cover up minor swirl marks about the same. Here are some pics of my car after using E1 polish/wax.

Thanks for looking. I've been using autopia for over 3 years and not really given anything back until now. Hope you guys/gals enjoy my review.

nope it's not, they might have discontinued the item seeing as they were on sale at big lots for 2.99 a bottle. It's not a synthetic wax, I don't think. To me, it smells like there's some sort of mineral oil in the wax. It come in a red and black bottle.
 
The car looks like an ad for car polish. Nice job. :up



I must admit that I've never heard of the name you posted...as BigLeegr asks, is that the correct name? If it is, I've used it too.
 
I saw that stuff at Big Lots too while looking for tire applicators. Although extremely cheap, I was able to resist the temptation to buy. The "Autopia Obsession" hit me like a train --- I've got way too many products already. BTW, great-looking car and nice review. :up
