That said, it`s probably not any solvents, in NXT Tech Wax, that are responsible for the removal of the felt marker, but the highly specialized abrasives in the Tech Wax.
Tech Wax was formulated to meet the EPA’s new, incredibly stringent V.O.C. regulations for 2005 here in California.
One more note: Although the word
abrasives tend to conjure up thoughts of a products that scratch, consider this:
For all of you that have the Tech Wax in your possession,
if you have a flawless finish to test on, then try this simple test.
Using a clean, soft foam applicator pad, apply a small amount of Tech wax to your flawless finish and remove and look to see if it left any scratches.
The correct result is, no... it should leave any scratches, that’s because the abrasives used in Tech Wax are not those kind of abrasives. Remember, there are many types of abrasives that Meguiar`s has access to. This enables the chemists to pick and choose the exact type of abrasive to accomplish the goal of the product.
Look at this example: The
nap of a 100% cotton terry cloth towel, consists of little tiny cotton threads in the shape of a loop. These little cotton loops are a type of abrasive when used in the right manner with the right product on the right surface.
Same kind of thinking applies with Tech Wax...
In the case of Tech Wax, the goal is to
eliminate fine scratches. This is done in two ways, the highly specialized abrasives both remove scratches, and the polymers fill in the scratches. The result is a more clear and more defect free surface.
That is the goal correct? a clear, reflective, high gloss surface?
(and protection too)
