check out these pics after i put on some paint sealant, then the next day put on a coat of Meguire's NXT tech wax 2.0.  it is pretty shiny, glossy, and check out the last pic right under the window it looks like glass.  i will do another coat next week.

Looks awesome!    ...as quoted from Meguiars' website referring to NXT wax "This better-than-ever formula produces unbelievably deep, vibrant color and a dramatically clear wet-look."  I think your car could be an ad for it.  That looks amazing!

So I'm assuming you're giving the NXT high marks??  What kind of wax did you use before NXT?  I've been using the Meguiars Gold Class liquid wax and have been pleased.  But I think when I'm finished with mine I'm getting NXT.

NXT 2.0 is the best wax I have used ever since I started waxing cars in 1977.
It is light years better than the old NXT. Goes on easy and has great deep shine.

so far the NXT is the best i've tried.  i've also tried liquid lustre, zymol, mother's, turtle wax ice, and a few more that i've forgotten about.  but yea, it looks deep and reflects the light well, i'm very pleased w/ it.  i've never tried the gold class, but a friend of mine said that it is very good as well.

Well NXT 2.0 is what I'm getting next.  Your car sold me!! 

Unfortunately my Gold Class is a pretty new bottle though so it might be a little bit yet

I just bought the Meguiar's Gold Class paste this past weekend and had great results from it as well... might have to try the NXT next time though! Your car looks great!

I currently have a can of NXT, Gold Class and NXT 2.0 (and Zymol and Klasse) and my experience with the Meguiar's Gold Class is it works well but is harder to apply than NXT and way harder than NXT 2.0.

NXT 2.0 is the best wax I've ever used, and in the past 20+ years I've tried everything on the shelves,and even stuff from Car shows and some mail order only stuff.

After trying everything, I've thrown away and given away more wax bottles than most people have bought in a lifetime.  I now only keep 3 waxes in my garage.  NXT 2.0 mostly for just my stang, Meguiars Cleaner Wax for the cars that don't get garaged, and TW ICE for waxing at car shows out in the sun.  The only detailer I will ever use again is TW ICE quick spray detailer.  Try that one once and you'll never go back to anything else, (even the Meguiars stuff), especially since you can detail in the sun or on a hot car just like their wax.

Do you think the NXT 2.0 gives the depth of color that natural (carnuba) waxes do?  I like the original NXT because of its great clarity and lasting finish, but to get really good color depth, I have to use a basecoat of a good carnuba wax and apply the NXT on top 2-3 days later to make it last.  However, as far as synthetic waxes go I can't imagine how they could have improved much on the original NXT.  Since the original NXT is best single wax that I've used, I'll have to step up to the 2.0 when my can runs out.

They haven't really improved on the shine, it's just that the 2.0 is noticeably easier to remove and it supposedly lasts at least twice as long. (I wouldn't know b/c I wax my car once a month or so, so I've never let ANY wax "wear off").

I just picked up my new Black GT; is there anything that I need to do to the paint before starting to use the NXT? Other than washing is there any other prep?

I was at Meguiars last weekend for a class on maintaining our cars and they informed us of the forums they have.  They will answer all your questions and inform you of which products work best for your situation.

Others may dissagree, but I like to clay my car before I begin to apply any polish or wax.  I would even do this on a brand new car.  Claying will remove any overspray and contaminants that you can potenially seal onto the surface with wax.  After claying, your paint (clear coat) is essentially virgin, and the wax will be most effective.

I agree 100% and even if new they are not "NEW" as they may have been sitting on a lot for a few months before even being shipped to a dealer or being bought! Just me use clay at least once a year and before polishing and waxing! (unless you car just came from the paint and body shop with a show car shine)  J

thanks, i'm getting ready for a show this coming sunday and i was trying some different waxes and polishes trying to get a deep shine that looks wet, and so far this is the best i've tried.  the only bad part is i was cleaning around the fender badge on the passenger side and the rag got snagged under the badge and when i stood up w/the towel in hand, i broke the fender badge in half.  the good news is there's no dent or scratch on the body.  i ordered a new badge but idk if it will be here in time for the show.  but if it's not here in time, the show must go on.....

Well you sold me I purchased a can of NXT 2.0 last night and will wax the Mustang this weekend.  Last weekend I waxed with a carnuba (sp?) wax.  Is it ok to wax again this weekend or am I wasting my time?  should I wait a while?

Dave
