Meguiars #21 Mini-Review

**Joshua312** · 08-31-2006, 07:38 PM

I would strip all waxes you have on your car now to get the true look of M21, then if you want to I would top it with Aquawax after your washes for the perfect look.

Do I need to remove the glaze and wax or will M21 apply over that without problems? Do I apply anything on top of M21? 64oz will last forever!

I`m confused now...

You don`t have to remove your previous applications of #7 or #26. Everything in the tan bottles is formulated to work together. I prefer M21 x2 without any topper. It looks great on its own. There is a 16 oz bottle of M21 available from Meguiar`s if you don`t need the 64 oz jug. With M21 a little goes a long way; it is very easy to work with and apply thin layers.

Now that I have gone through some of my massive quantities of LSPs, I`ll have to snag a bottle of #21 next time I am at my Meguiars distributor.

The word I have gotten from Meg`s is that ALL of their products are formulated to work together. For example, I have used both NXT and #21 over #7 and have not noticed any problems with bonding with either LSP.

does it have any swirl filling like NXT??

One of the things I liked about the DG 105 and the AW was it made my charcoal gray truck lighter looking, more towards silver then black. Also made the mettalic pop out. Has anyone tried the 21 on a mettalic paint?

In my opinion both NXT and #21 give metallic more pop than your standard carnuba. I really am a fan of NXT topped with GC on dark metallic paints. The NXT seems to add pop and wetness to the metallic and the GC adds some depth.

Gold Class has cleaners, so layering it over next isn`t really doing anything other than replacing the NXT with the GC.

I am super impressed with my NXT topped with S100. On my car (blue/purple metallic gray) it looks dripping wet and glows in the sun.

The cleaners in GC are very mild...I`d doubt they would strip the NXT

You might want to test GC again to be sure of that statement.

Agreed. I`ve found GC to have a decent amount of cleaning, and if it weren`t the cleaning ability of the GC it would be the solvents in it that would remove the NXT. I don`t want to get into the debate of layering, but I doubt you can really "layer" many products, especially Megs products, who even say that their products don`t layer. Products like Zaino, Klasse, etc., sure, but especially with a product that says it cleans, I doubt it.

:rules:

Thought this thred was about M#21. Is NXT a better choice for my dark blue metallic?

Are either if these better if applied and/or removed by hand or machine?

I like #21 better than NXT

I only see the 64oz size of M21 on Meguiar`s site... Where did you find this 16 oz???
