New wax (Dialup WARNING!)

[KiLLaBytE]

Well, i haven't waxed the car in months. Last time was Zaino, this time i thought i'd try something new. I've heard good things about Meguiar's new NXT wax, so i picked up a bottle for $14 at AutoZone yesterday. Got up this morning and did the following:

- Washed car w/ MrClean AutoDry
- Dried with the Absorber
- Let sit for about 45 minutes
- Went over with microfiber towel
- Applied Meguiar's NXT wax
- Let sit for about 30 minutes
- Hand-buffed with cotton towel
- Went over with microfiber towel again
- Applied Eagle1 WET tire shine :coolman:

The Result:

A few of my favorites:

The pics just don't do it full justice.
I wish i had more hands, so i could give this product 4 THUMBS UP!.

Well here is a comparison for you.

1 coat of zaino and I can't tell the difference between my car and KiLLaBytE's car (except his is a cobra of course)

Here are a couple more.

KiLLaBytE thats still an awesome car you have there. :rockon:

 

[JumpMan23]

Exactly, the pics I took were also with the New NXT Tech Wax......
I would say I love it outta all the stuff I've tried before....

The ease off the whole proccess is what I like the best.....took me bout 45min - an hour to do.

****The Pics can be seen HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!****

it really depends. i can't really say yet, since it's only been 2 days since i did it. but...

- it's a lot faster and easier to do than Zaino
- practically wipes off, unlike conventional waxes where buffing can get to be a PITA
- i heard durability isn't as good (my Zaino lasted me a while).
- it shines just as well as Zaino
- it's much cheaper than Zaino
- availability is MUCH more widespread

Thanks. :beer:

Still love the color.

PS you are lucky that you can wash your car at home, here in LV we have to buy a specific pressure washer which is over $100 or take it to the quarter self wash places to do it.

I just went out and bought the NXT for my black 2001 Cobra, Killa. I can't wait until it stops raining so I can actually wax the damn thing. Your car looks gorgeous, I love that color.

 

[KiLLaBytE]

wow, sucks about the pressure washer thing... weird law. :shrug:

xspeed02... post up some pics afterwards, i'd like to see this stuff on a black car. :coolman:

 

[krillind8z]

Well here is a pic of a black 03 cobra with it.

[KiLLaBytE]
