NXT wax is def worth it however I've never used the paste only the liquid. In my experience liquids are usually easier to work with and provide equal results.

just go through using Nxt tech wax the liquid version, that was my first time and its really easy to work with. Very nice, I will not go back to regular Meguiars wax except to wax my wheels.

I should note that I actually have both a bottle of it and the paste wax. When I'm in a hurry I just slap a coat of the liquid on, when I decide I'm in the mood to slow things down, I use the paste.

liquids are easy to apply. and look great.
but they dont last nearly as long on your paint.

I have the NXT paste, and its amazing! I have done side by side comparosins with all of my friends different waxes, and they all agree the NXT is the best we can find. I also recommend the paste over the liquid if you have the time. Much deeper shine, and lasts longer.

I used to use turle ICE wax, hahaha Meguires NXT does not compare. NXT is ssssooooo much better. Brought my GF's scratched 02 deawoo to a nice deep shine. Brought my car looking like new. Deff recommended. Buy paste, its preatty easy to work with and a last longer on the paint!!

PS I bought the polish, not the wax in paste format. Works wonders!

I posted it somewhere else but:

Paste>Liquid>Spray

It really depends on how **** you are about your paint and it's appearence to notice the difference between some of the brands.

I only use http://www.autopia-carcare.com/p21-127.html P21S, but I've heard good things about the NXT stuff.

Depends on the wax. The wax I use goes on REALLY easy. Ask Stinkbomb, i was helping him with his hood tonight.

Wax will not do anything for swirls, it's not an abrasive. Use a polish before the wax in order to get swirls out.

I used meg's colorX and then NXT liquid on my moms caravan today, my arms are sore as hell, but it looks real nice n shiney. I need to try out the paste when I run out.

Just a quick question. I like the Turtle Wax ICE because it doesnt leave that nasty white residue on the body seams; does the NXT leave any of that or is it like the ICE

I havent had any trouble with build-up from NXT unless I apply too much product. Also if you use a microfiber to take the wax off it traps all that build-up instead of pushing it around like a terry cloth.

off subject but biniecki are your calipers color-matched with the body? If so do you have some close up pics and how did you do it?

Actually its not body matched but it is close. Basically all i prepped it and all that good stuff and then used high temp chevy orange engine paint as a base/primer and then went over that with burnt metallic orange duplicolor paint and it turned out pretty good. The only kind of close-up i have is this pic of when it was actually kinda dirty.
