Still confused on this Meg NXT, is it a wax? Is it a polymer?

Hmmm, hadn't read the MSDS so I didn't see the "calcined kaolin clay" description. Kaolinite in its pure form is supposed to be non-abrasive. I am by no means a chemist or in this case a geologist??? I have no idea how abrasive "calcined kaolin clay" is or isn't.



Actually I don't really care so much what is in it as long as it works :) I think people get too caught up, myself included in the MSDS sheets. They really aren't specific enough for the layperson like myself to make any conclusions from and generally just confuse.



So far I am pretty happy with NXT Tech Wax! I think I might tinker and top it with #26 this weekend to see if I can get the darker color I am used to.

Never be afraid to step outside the Box.

See what works for you and even if some may think that your results it are "specious" at best ;) . If the results meets your appearance and/or durability needs report ( for our edification)and continue that protocol.



If a MD took to heart every "potential" every side-effect that the PDR (Physician Desk Reference) list for every medication we consider to prescibe to a patient, we would probably still be practicing herbal medicine in fear of all the medical-legal implications of prior knowledge of these potential ill-effects. The same goes for the MSDS, use as a reference but not the bible of potential hazardous contains and functionally of these listed substances that by law must be disclosed.

I am still waiting for Meguiar's response about listing a "wax blend" in their purely synthetic polymer product. A play with words. :nixweiss.

Synthetic rubber is still rubber. Synthetic wax, be it carnuaba or whatever, is still a wax. We need this answered from a "purely" ( sorry for the pun) intellectual and comparison reason. Is NXT a Klasse or Zaino type wax/sealant or more of a synthetic blend similiar to Blackfire and UPP?

Either case, as initially stated is in reality meaningless, if NXT meets ones needs. Use it. Mike stated he is investigating the MSDS questions with the chemists and I am sure he will get back to us with the answers. :wavey

This is what I meant lol. So Scott now that you have played with Klasse and UPP how would you compare them to Final Polish?

It's kind of hard to compare directly since I am out of FP, but the Klasse/UPP have a brighter look to me. In addition, FP can be used as a single step final glaze/seal.
 
I am pretty sure the reason the product is called NXT Tech Wax even though it is officially synthetic polymer is because when Joe-six-pack goes into Pep Boys to buy a wax, he wants to buy something with the word 'wax' in it. If the name was NXT Tech Synthetic Polymer Sealant, it would stay on the shelf since the average person has no idea what that means.

Have you compared the Klasse AIO/SG NXT vs

VM/FP/s100 yet??



I never liked FP as a stand alone but some of the best results I have ever achieved is the Vanilla Moose/Final Polish/s100
 
Hi PDT447,



Yes, I topped it off with Poorboy's Natty Paste Wax. Looks great! It turned out amazing. :xyxthumbs



If you have S100, I would recommend it.



With Aloha,

Ranney :)
 
Still hoping Mike will chime in on this. I relaize he has stated that NXT is a polymer numerous times, but the MSDS seems to indicate otherwise.



Mike, can you clarify one last time. :D

Quote: In the real world, i.e. not the discussion forum world filled with web-savvy, and hard core detailing enthusiasts like yourself, the average consumer doesn't know the difference between a paint protectant and a wax.



From a writer’s point of view, it's usually best to keep things simple, especially on a label.



People understand what car wax is as well as what to do with it.



When you start throwing words/terms at them like paint protectant, it just confuses them. Thus, the word wax. It is however a fully synthetic paint protectant, and does not contain any wax whatsoever.

Hi all,



I spoke with one of our chemists the other day ago about the MSD sheets and what they mean.



I'll post something more specific later today after a meeting I have to attend.



There is no Carnauba wax, or any other kind of natural wax in this formula. Period.



The MSD sheets are not formula's, please don''t let anyone fool you into thinking the can tell you what's in a formula by reading the MSD sheet.



Mike
 
Also, this formula is totally new and unique.



It is NOT another formula changed, modified, updated, etc. as some might infer, again from reading the MSD sheet.



All new, from the ground up, formula.



Mike
 
Thanks a lot Mike!!! I appreciate all the valuable info you provide to the board.



The reason why I was looking for a definitive answer on this is because I want to layer SG and NXT over one another. SG for the guaranteed durability I have come to expect, and NXT for the deeper, wetter look. If the NXT had natural wax in it then my layering plan would have been out the window. I would have been in the same position I am now with my blitz topper. That being having to strip my blitz in order to add more SG.



Thanks again!!
