Well I thought it was time to try some new wax and I just got my paycheck, so I went out and got a can of Meguiars NXT Tech Wax paste wax, as well as some meguiers deep shine polish. Washed the car, and started putting the polish on. I usually let the polish dry before I buff it off, and it seems to work good (as most polishes I have used say "Let dry to a haze"). However, as i finished getting polish over the car, I saw on the back of the bottle that it said to wipe off immediately and not let dry. Owell, too late. Still came out nice and clean and came off very easily despite not following the bottles directions.
Then I went on to apply the NXT Tech Wax. I decided to go with the paste over the liquid simply because paste wax just seems more durable to me, though I could be wrong. Anyways, the wax went on very easily and evenly with the included foam applicator, and the wax came off very easily too once dried.
The color is amazing. I've never seen my car look so dark and deep and yet so shiny and bright at the same time. (Navy Blue Metallic). In my garage, which doesn't have the best lighting yet, but enough to easily see what your doing, my car almost looked black. It was like glass. Brought it out into the sun, and it still held that dark and deep, full look to it, but the suns reflections really caught the metallic and I've never seen my paint look so good.
All in all, this is a very great wax in my opinion. Using the deep shine polish before the wax I'm sure also helped tremendously. All of my small scratches and swirl marks are completely gone. With another wax i previously tried, the scratches and swirls seemed to be gone at first glance, but upon closer inspection you could still clearly see them. The NXT tech wax hid up the scratches very well. One spot on my hood has bad swirls, and I could not see them for the life of me.
Now its just a waiting game to see how long the wax seems to last.
I'll try to get some pics on here... prolly wont be anything fancy like scenic, since i just recently had some of those, but these will be more to show the paint.
