There is no way I'm going to use the applicator that came with the package, however. That thing looks like a scratch-o-matic.

NXT doesn't rid the paint of swirl marks, it only HIDES them. Swirl marks are tiny scratches in the clear coat. Waxes like NXT do a good job of filling them so they are not visible to the eye, this does not mean that the marks aren't still there. Waxing in a back and forth motion as opposed to circular helps to minimize the creation of swirls when you are waxing. If you want to maximize your coverage, do one panel at a time and be thorough.-Eric<br />2002 Navy Blue Camaro...Striped and Stalled. 35th Anniversary SS wheels <br />Best ET: 15.384 @ 88.32 on street tires<br />Project Whitney: Goal, 14.0 1/4 by summer 2008.

What did that prove? I'll give you the answer: nothing. Only polishing can remove swirl marks: NXT hides swirl marks, smoothing them over temporarily. Eventually the NXT will wear off and the paint will look swirled again. That write-up on the Meguiar's site was obviously written by someone in the marketing department, not someone who actually knows anything about paint.
EDIT: I also know this from experience using NXT over a period of over 6 months: I couldn't see swirls in the paint after waxing, but as the wax wore off the swirls returned.-Eric<br />2002 Navy Blue Camaro...Striped and Stalled. 35th Anniversary SS wheels <br />Best ET: 15.384 @ 88.32 on street tires<br />Project Whitney: Goal, 14.0 1/4 by summer 2008.

just got a bottle; where should I get these microfiber towels? I heard the ones in walmart and other retail places are crap. Is the applicator that came with it really that evil?\'96 dark green V6 Firebird<br />Y87 Performance package<br />front license plate with silver firebird insignia<br />alpine CD deck<br />T-top<br />Tinted windows @ 27%<br />low mileage (just broke 45000 not long ago!)<br /><br />waiting for first performance mod :)
