Well, my Autogeek shipment arrived today - bottle of AIO, NXT, the NXT wash, and a jar of P21S. Given that I had been driving around in the rain the past couple of days, I was glad to have that arrive with perfect timing - nice chance to try some new goodies.
The NXT wash... I like it. A lot. When the big, brown truck dropped off my package today, I was going through the box to get everything off... opened up the half-gallon of this stuff and smelled it, and I seriously was about to taste it, it smells so good. As far as use, I think it's great. Feels like such a "soft" wash and does a great job. Given Meg's GC and the NXT wash, I'd take the NXT. Smells awesome, feels awesome, does an awesome job on doing what you'd want a wash to do.
After AIO'ing the 'vette (AIO is NOT new to me, just the NXT products), I went ahead and applied NXT to the vehicle - even, linear strokes, covering the whole body at once, and then going to where I started and buffing it off.
In my opinion, NXT is very, VERY easy to work with. I mean, it is only marginally - and I do mean marginally - harder to buff off as the ultra-easy P21S. (It applies with the same ease). Come to think of it, it even looks like P21S on the paint, heh. It leaves little to no dust, and other than the occasional streak here and there, it came off like a breeze. Oh, hell. You know what? It's like using a liquid version of P21S. There. That'll explain it.
Now, I know that SLD doesn't seem to like NXT a whole lot, but I think it's great. After buffing off the NXT and getting the 'Vette back into the sun, I was reminded of those yellow NXT viper pics that were posted a week ago or so - shiny, but really deep at the same time. The initial comments about combining the "best of both worlds" seem to be true, imo. Now, as to whether it has the durability of a sealant, I dunno. I just know that I love this stuff. Clean and clear appearance that you would expect from using the Klasse twins, but the warmth and depth of P21S or another high-end carnauba.
The AIO+NXT picture in my gallery - http://www.autopia.org/gallery/showgallery.php?ppuser=4517&cat=500&thumb=1 - is, or should be, posted below. That's roughly how it looks when you see it with your own eyes, but like most of the time, the camera just doesn't always capture the true appeal. For instance, the picture doesn't say anything as far as whether NXT fills in any micromarring or such - well, it does. Not to a great degree, no, but it does appear to have some nice filling effects.
Can NXT be layered? It's supposed to be kinda cold here in South Texas, and I was wanting to get another layer on the car while it's in the garage. :xyxthumbs
