I own a detail shop. I have tried many products over the years and have found the polymer products work the best. I use Zaino as my main finish protectant. But did give NXT Tech Wax a try. I always try new products on my own cars before any customers. I waxed both my 2004 auto's in the same weekend, 1 with Zaino's and the other with NXT Tech Wax. As far as I can see the NXT went on and off as easy, left as deep a shine and seems to stand up to the eliments just as well as the Zaino's. With the only real difference being price I'll be using the NXT Tech wax from now on.

I don't have a lot of time washing and waxing my car. So, this product works well for me because it goes on easy and wipes off easy. My car is a silver metalic and this works great on it. I definitely notice a mirror like shine after applying just one coat. The surface is also slick and water just beads on top of it. A draw back is that it doesn't seem to last very long as my last waxing job lasted only about 2-3 months.

I have been using NXT Tech Wax on my two vehicles for over 6 months. I a very pleased with it. It really pops the shine out on my black Toyota Tundra. The key is to apply it properly. Use it very sparingly, a little bit goes a long way (the cost may seem steep, but you get a lot of use out of one bottle). Don't apply to a hot surface, it will dry too fast and streak. Make sure it is totally dry before wiping off (apply on a low humidity day if possible), I usually do the whole vehicle and then go back and wipe it off. Once you understand how to apply it, it goes on and wipes off very easily.

Remember that this product is only a wax, not a cleaner wax like most people use. Therefore, if you have scratches/swirl marks etc. you should use a polish on your vehicle before you apply the NXT, as it will not remove blemishes. However, it does seem to cover them up a bit. Further, unlike normal cleaner/waxes, it does not seem to "remove" the old wax as you apply multiple coats. Therefore, as you re-apply it, the product seems to "layer" and get a deeper and deeper shine. It also seems to keep it's shine a long time.

I was going to purchase the popular Zanio wax before I saw the NXT in the store. Like the Zanio, NXT is a synthetic wax, however it costs a lot less. That said, I have not personally tried the Zanio, it may even be better. But I a very pleased with the NXT.

I have tried a ton of waxes and LOVE this stuff. FAST going on, FAST drying and easy to take off. No white residue like most other waxes. This stuff even fixes my scratched DVD's (to an extent). I can't believe Zymol has perfect 5 scores and this has 4. Zymol leaves streaks on dark paints and this stuff never leaves streaks and makes the car feel so awesomely slick. Did I mention that you can put it on glass and it acts like a Rain-x and is 100 percent streak free and no smudging. It makes my hardcore 15 inch RIM's shine like a mirror. Maybe they are 16 inches, but either way those stock bad-boys SHINE!

UPDATE: used this on my kitchen sink hardware to bring back the luster. It shines amazingly and the water rolls right off.

I love taking care of my vehicles. I have used many expensive, imported products over the years. However, Meguiar's keeps winning me back with their incredible offerings. They are of high quality, effective, easy to find, and affordable. However, take the affordable off. I'd use their products, if they were 3x the price because I've used products that cost that much and are less effective.

Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 highlights that experience. I didn't want to like this wax/sealant as much as ones I paid thirty, forty, or fifty dollars to buy. However, the results were obvious. On my vehicles, this is the best wax/sealant I have ever used.

For optimum results I strongly encourage you before apply NXT 2.0, clay your car, clean with a paint cleaner (i.e. Scratch X or Deep Crystal Step 1), polish with a pure polish (Deep Crystal Step 2 or #7 Show Car Polish), and then apply this wax. The results are truly remarkable.

To maintain your shine, remove loose dirt and contaminants with Quick Exterior Detailer, or Ultimate Exterior Detailer.

Meguiar's keeps delivering the good stuff, and I'm a fan.

I am a proffessional car detailer and have used many waxes through my 40 year career. Meguiar's NXT Tech is by far the best wax I have ever used. It leaves a tremendous deep shine and gloss. Keep in mind it is a wax, so it is essential for the best results to use a cleaner polish before applying the NXT. If the surface is clean you could get by with just the wax. I find that it lasts a long time in fact on one of our cars it lasted an entire year and the car sits outside. The key of course is to wash often, once a week is preferable. It leaves minimal residue which can easily be dealt with using a soft tooth brush to get out the excess wax. Every year I strip the wax off our cars and reapply polish and the wax. My 2000 still looks brand new and our other cars as well. I am sold on this product. Give it try and see for yourself. It also smells nice.

I've been using this product for 3 years on two different cars. First was a lexus and now a subaru. Let me tell you guys, this wax is very easy to apply, just make sure you go in the right hand motion. The Karate Kid method is INCORRECT, do not wax in circular motions or you'll get swirls.

Anyways, just make sure things are applied evenly and wait maybe 10 mins, then wipe everything off with a microfiber towel.

It's a great wax, shines great, very smooth. Like a previous reviewer has said, make sure the car is clean meaning use clay/polish to detail it first.

The package comes with a big bottle of great smelling wax and an applicator. This stuff is easy to pour out and wipe onto the car.

Downside like most other synthetics is the decrease in shine after a few weeks.

NXT is probably the easiest wax I've ever used in terms of application and removal. If you take your time, wash and clay your car beforehand, use microfiber towels, and apply an even coat, it comes off extremely easily. The keys there are claying your car and using microfiber. ANY decent wax will be difficult to apply and remove if the surface you're working with hasn't been properly cleaned.

NXT works well on my Honda Accord - I've found that it works better on metallics (like mine) as opposed to deeper, darker colors. That said, a common criticism of this product is that shine longevity is a bit short, and I tend to agree. It starts to lose some shine after a week or two. However, I've found that it protects very well, which is more important to me than how long the shine lasts.

In reading some of the reviews (especially the negative ones), there's a lot of misconceptions about this wax. First of all, follow the instructions and you won't go wrong. Most of the bad reviews I've seen is because people did not let the wax dry before polishing. There was one negative review where the reviewer stated this product scratched his paint finish. That same reviewer also used dish soap to wash the car, which is too abrasive for a clear coat paint finish.

Secondly. this is a polymer...a polymer based wax will never give the kind of "wet look" shine that a carnuba based wax will. The flip side is that a carnuba wax will not last as long as a polymer. Having used a number of different polymers in the past, this is by far the best one I have used. I usually do two coats of this, followed by a coat of carnuba (with 12-18 hours in between coats). Even with washing it every week or so, the wax coat is good for 3-4 months.

Highly recommended.

The price at Amazon was more than $5 less than my local Target store. The wax is a liqht liquid that's not only easy to apply but easy to remove as well. I was able to wax my Mercedes convertible in about 30 minutes. For best results, I would use a microfiber towel to remove the wax and for a final polishing. The shine is incredible and it leaves the paint feeling silky smooth. Although it's only been a month since I waxed my car, after 4 washings it still looks great. This is certainly the best wax I have ever used. I highly recommend this product.
