The weather and my schedule finally decided to cooperate and I had some chance to work on my home vehicles. (`04 TSX and `03 CR-V). So I decided to give the NXT (which has been sitting on my shelf for a while) a test run.
The weather was very nice with temps in the high 70s and pretty low humidity. It was completely cloudless when I started and completely covered by the time I`d finished 5 hours later (2 hours for each vehicle with a one hour lunch break).
Overall, the NXT wax is an incredible consumer value. It definitely did not go on or off the easiest but it was easy to work with (no weird hazing or diffucult spots, no trim staining and no dusting) and provided great results.
Both vehicles are about 10 months old and I just washed them with Meg`s GC and then AIO`ed them to clear off the winter grime. The TSX got just a single coat of NXT so that I could compare it with my previously used Pinnacle Paste Glaz (or Liquid Souveran) and topped with Meg`s QD. The CR-V got the same but I topped it with S100.
The TSX came out very favorable and I`ll now have to experiment with which of my QD`s would work best at providing a bit of extra pop. I just want to test durabiilty of the NXT alone right now.
The CR-V looked good as well. It`s a medium brown (Sahara something) with a nice gold metallic fleck. The NXT gave it a great look and S100 definitely added the extra pop I was looking for.
Below are the links for some of the pics I took of the CR-V. Unfortuantely, the sun and clouds didn`t want to cooperate so the exposures aren`t as brilliant as they could have been (in other words, the pics don`t do justice, IMHO, to the result).

(For you sticklers, the wheels were cleaned with Meg`s #36, tires dressed with Meg`s High Endurance, windows inside and out got Stoner`s with MFs, interior trim got Vinylex and exterior trim got Meg`s #40).
Meguiar`s has always been a staple in my product line-up and the NXT surely continues a fine tradition of value-based products!
