NBP pictures waxed with Meguiars NXT

I just thought I would share my 04 TL after a fresh coat of Meguiars NXT. I was a bit skeptical of using this wax but after it was done, I have become a believer. I know there may be other waxes that might last longer out there but I am extremely happy with the results. I have to say no other wax that I have used has given me a shine like this! I also recently added a Lip Spoiler that I got from Ron off of eBay (Nice quality for $170!!).

nice looking NBP! I also got a Lip Spoiler from RON and after shipping it is only $180! and my TL look exactly like yours with window tinted as well.... but I use zaino instead! (no intend to start a NXT vs zaino war, they both are good!)

Nice!! So shiny. I wish I had NBP, but I dont have the time to keep it clean. My mom's Nissan Z is black and it hasnt been washed in 3 months.... horrid sight on the road, and a disgrace to be seen in it.

Looking good! How difficult is it to install the lip spoiler? Is it just double sided tape? Or do you need to drill?

What did you use for tire dressing - looks nice and even and not cheesy shiny. I use Meguiars Endurance - LOVE it - just curious what you used.

Car looks great.

When discussing window tint, the percentage is indicative to the amount of light that will pass through the tint when compared to stock glass.

A good example is 5% window tint. This indicates that only 5% of ambient light passes through the film. 5% = limo tint!

I have become a true believer in Mequiars products. I used the NXT on my SSM and was amazed at the improvement over the dealer applied glaze. Use their Hot Shine tire product (it's not cheesey shiney either) and it literally keeps the tires looking great for weeks.

My TL looks the same as yours just without the spoiler. I have tried everything I can to avoid the swirl marks when I clean and dry mine. However, with the black I do not think it is possible. How does the Meguiars NXT do with the swirl marks? Should I use a swirl remover before the Meguiars NXT or does it do the trick by itself? Also, did you use a buffer or do everything by hand?

By the way it looks great!!

I did have some swirl marks before I used the Meguiars NXT. Most of them disappeared after applying the NXT!!! I did not use a buffer.....

Thanks, I used NXT last weekend. It worked great!! It took care of a lot of the swirl marks. I plan to use the NXT spray bottle after each washing to see if I can keep the swirl marks to a minimum.

I have to get a picture of my TL. I have 5% tint all the way around (besides windshield obviously). It looks sick (good sick). That tint is a security device in itself. People can't even tell if anyones in the car outside at high noon!

I pimped my own ride....

I used NXT once on my NBP. It was nice. But if you really want protectiong and perfection, use P21S paintwork cleanser, Klasse AIO, Klasse SGx3, and top it off with Meguiar's #16 wax. It makes my NBP look beautiful. With the #16 wax, when your car is wet and you drive it, the water just flies off.
I don't even touch my NXT anymore. It's not durable. Since I live in the NE and probably won't be washing my TL that much, I needed good protection and the Klasse twins can provide that.

Wax job looks great too!!
