Meguiars NXT vs Zaino

Anyone got Meguiars NXT pic to compare with Zaino pic?

If you got it on Anthracite would be great!

Any comment on Meguiars NXT?

Thanks.

I have a Desert TL, so the effect of NXT is not so great. However, it was really easy to use and very effective.

There is a review of the NXT here. In page 2 of that article, he has pictures of NXT on a gray Porsche Cayenne that is vaguely similar to Anthracite.

I used NXT on my SSM TL and the Wife's Black Sequoia. My TL looks good , but the Wife's Sequoia looks great. I considered purchasing Zaino, but having 2 young kids, I don't have the luxury of spending 3-4 hours waxing the cars. After I used NXT I looked at other dark colored TL's that used Zaino and compared it to my Wife's Sequoia, I can hardly tell the difference. I'm not knocking Zaino, but if I had the time I probably give it a try. I'll post some pics later in the day.

I've been using Zaino for years and it takes no longer to apply/remove than any other wax/polish out there...

Were can you get NXT. I tried Pep Boys they don't have it. The web site has it but there is a $6.00 shipping fee that I don't want to pay.

According to the Zaino for dummies post, it sure sounds like a lot of steps. Again, I'm not bashing Zaino, but I just don't have the time to do it.

Applying Zaino only takes a lot of steps if you WANT to use a lot of steps. The prep work should be done for ANY polish if you want the best results.

However, if you only want excellent protection and quick application, you can just wipe on a single coat of Zaino, and buff it off - just like with ANY wax. 20 minutes and you're done. There is nothing easier.

The reason people go to such lengths with Zaino is because it is possible to achieve so much more than with wax.

Also used NXT. It's probably the best wax I've used so far, including various other Meguier's, RainX, Turtle wax. I've never used Zaino so I can't speak for that.

I really to want to see Anthracite pic of NXT to see if it makes the car darker or brighter compared to Zaino.

If you have a pic, please post. Thanks.

Sonic,

Thanks for the info. But I don't think we have a Kragen Autopart on the east cost.
