NXT in NJ/Phila?? (recomendations needed too...)

I wanna try out NXT, but I've yet to find a store that carries it in the voorhees/cherry hill/philadelphia area...



I'm doing a set of full Spring details on my black 96 miata, and a 2000 toyota spyder this weekend, and really want to try it out on these two cars...



Any ideas?!? Oh, and I ran out of Perfect it III, and am looking to try a new swirl remover that I can pick up at a store... Recommendations?





My hopeful plan for the two cars is: (paint only)



Swirl remover



SEC



AIOx2



NXTx2
 
I have not been able to find NXT in the Phila area yet. I have been to a couple of Wal-Marts but they do not carry it yet here.



If the swirls are not that bad you can pick up some Megs #9 at Pep Boys.
 
Yeah, I figured it's not here yet.. Hey Mike Phillips.. If you read this can you give me a list of the vendors in the Phila area that have recieved NXT!?!? That'd be huge. I might PM you after I write this and ask personally..



Ok. So lets assume I can't get NXT by saturday. Any other ideas for toppers? I wanna try something new, but didn't give myself enough time to order online. This will be the first detail of my buddies black spyder too, so I wanna shoot to impress.



I'd use SG, but I broke the cheap plastic bottle and lost it all..



In my finisher arsenal, I have:



AIO

S100/SEC

Gold Class

Nu Finish (dad's)



Nothing's jumping out at me today.... S100's my old favorite though, so I may go:



Swirl remover



AIOx2



S100



How's #9 compare to Finesse it?



What about #20 or #26 as a finisher? Better than anything I have already? Worth buying?
 
If you plan on applying NXT immediately after you can find it after this detail, either use #26 or S100. If you want more durability, go with #20.
 
Just talked to Mike, and he sorted me out. I'll have the NXT by Friday, to do my details on Saturday. You'll see my write up on Sunday.



Oh, and with customer service like that, add another one to the list of Megiars fanatics.
 
I'm telling you - any time I've dealt with Mike I've recieved absolutely 110% customer service - and for that reason I'll always give meguiars the benefit of the doubt, even if I don't use their products exclusively.

I found it at Advance auto here in NE Ohio. Used it last week, awesome. One more coat tomorrow, the a coat of Zaino on Saturday.
 
Any stores in the Philly area that sell better detailing products? About the only place I've been able to find in South Jersey that sells anything half-decent has been Pep Boys, which usually stocks Lexol/Vinylex and 3M SMR, P-I3 FineCut, IHG, and wax. Nothing else like Klasse.

I have never seen Klasse at the Retail Store level. Some suggest BMW auto dealers for it. I ordered my NXT from Meguiars.com directly per Mike Phillips of this forum with the free shipping deal.



No Retail Store has ever carried all off the products I have learned off here from Autopia Forums but then again the search is part of the fun. I had a great time when I went to the local Harley Dealer for some S100, spent 2 hours looking at the bikes and am on their mailing list now.
 
I've found that NAPA stores tend to have better stuff than Pep Boys, or at least more exotic stuff... My local NAPA has Gliptone stuff, the full Meg Pro line,and a bunch of crazy stuff I haven't ever heard of before...



No NXT though... Not yet.. Good think Mike P. helped me out with that...
 
bought the last bottle from Advance auto parts, Rt30 in somerdale NJ. Easily accessible from 295 and about 15 mins outside of philly. They also had the spray booster wax. Was not stocked at pep boys.
 
Just got the whole line at Walmart, Temple PA. They had the car wash for a couple weeks, now everything is out with the arrival of March.



My sales slip



NXT Protectant $5.74

NXT Car Wash $5.67

NXT Spray Wax $5.87

NXT Tech Wax $13.26

Subtotal $30.54



PA sales Tax $1.84



Grant Total $32.38



Guess I'll be washing and waxing tonight ... Sunny and 60 tomorrow. :D
 
Found NXT tech protectant and NXT Tech wax at Autozone in East Providence, RI this weekend. No NXT wash and no Spray Wax. Wal-Mart in Walpole MA and in Seekonk, MA both have the NXT car wash and nothing else.
