I finally was able to find some NXT Tech Wax at a Walmart. They had the Tech Wax and Booster but no wash or protectant



So I decided to purchase some and give it a try after seeing some great reviews on the product here on the forum.



Over the past two weeks I have had the chance to try it on two vehicles, 1997 Ford F150 (Red) and a 2000 Toyota 4Runner (Metallic Silver). I must say that I am pretty impressed with this product.



Both vehicles were done with no prep whatsoever. Just a basic wash and wax. I plan on doing a full detail (clay, swirl removal, etc) when it gets warmer.



On the F150 I applied it with a PC and a polishing pad. On the 4Runner I did it by hand. The wax was very easy to put on and take off. I waited approximately 30 minutes for removal and had no issues with hazing etc.



The NXT really brought out the metal flake in the silver on the 4Runner. Unfortunately, I did it while I was away and didn`t have my cam.



This morning after waxing the truck yesterday, I qd`d the F150 with some Megs Final Detail.



All and all I think Meguiars has a winner... For an over the counter and commercially available product its great.



Here are some results:

Very Wet! Nice results!



Did you notice any "distortion" of the metallic flakes on the 4runner compared to other products?

Not at all. The NXT really brought out the metal flake in the silver paint.

Looks pretty awesome. For being a consumer product, NXT does a very good job.
