Tried a little experiment with NXT car wash...

[Camarorulz]

I ran out of QD today so I decided to give something a try instead of running to the store and dishing out $3.95 for a new bottle...got some NXT car wash, poured a small amount in an empty bottle of clay magic lube, and filled it up with tap water. I shook it up and decided to give it a try on the Camaro...it really didn`t do too badly at all: NXT car wash is probably safer for the paint than any quick detailer, and I use regular old water to wash the car anyway. The thing about this combo is that it really doesn`t leave water marks like after a wash with no dry. I used a good microfiber and it finished off quite nicely until the towel got too wet (there was dirt on the surface of the whole car and I had to constantly turn it.) I`d say it`s not too bad of a substitute for washing. What do the experts think??

Zaino Bros recommends using a capful of Z7 (car shampoo) with water for use with Z18 (claybar). For better results, try using distilled water instead of tap water.

Hmm...Ill have to try this...how much NXT wash did you add to a bottle of water?

[stilez]

My fear would be that NXT is a traditional wash. In being a traditional wash, it requires rinsing to remove any left over soap.



Products like Protect All QEW and Poorboy`s S+W come to mind when water is at a minimum or at non-existence.



For what you are using now, it would be a good clay lube after the car is clean.

I poured in a very small amount. The bottle is small anyway. You don`t need a whole lot of NXT to make a difference, it`s very good stuff.



GSRstilez: I thought mixing it with water would make is safe. Is there any way it could hurt my paint?
