Looks good but Zaino owns you both. My car looks awesome with Zaino, and it only took me an hour to apply three coats of it with ZFX. Someone has a pic of a NBP Zaino'd and its more reflective than that. Heck, I wish my car was darker, since its hard to see reflections in SSM (its definitely clean and shiney though). Now that I use Zaino I'm never going back to anything else. Definitely a job well done though, on your NBP

im not saying that jogjanis car isnt shiny because it is, but the lighter shade floor helped the shine, the reflection will show up a lot better because its the opposite color of the car. if he put it on asphalt, it would not be as shiny
just my $0.02

NXT is awesome, but it doesn't last long at all. i put some on the counter in my bathroom just to see how long it would stay smooth, and its not smooth anymore after like 1 month. still makes the car look good tho.

Nice job!
If you use the NXT boost between waxing it will last alot longer. I waxed my car with NXT back in late Feb. and have used the boost a couple of times since and the car still looks freshly waxed. Here's a pic I took a couple of weeks ago. I took this pic just before giving it it's weekly wash BTW.

looks slick
i am also a fan of NXT, ive noticed that although Zaino provides excellent shine and reflectivity, in my opinion it doesnt bring out the richness and depth of the car's paint color. am i making sense?

Good Job...
$30 sounds pretty good for the bottle
Its cheaper than the Zaino i purchased. I purchased the Zaino Kit from Frosty, on clubrsx. It cost me about $130 for the starter kit

however, i will try zaino in the near future till then NBP OWNS SSM

One of the easiest porduct I've ever used, easy on, easy off.. Works great on dark colours to bring out the depth and shine in the paint. The durability is not as good as other porducts, however like mentioned above the booster wax works great to extend the shine of the tech wax. By far the best, cleaner/polisher/sealant meguiars has. It's actually their only one, but it beats their Gold Class wax in my opinion.
If you were a strick Meguiars fan/user you could get great results if you were to put a coat of NXT, allow proper cure time, and then coat with their Gold Class wax for even more durability.
I personally will ocasionally coat a carnuba with a sealant, the carnuba will bring more depth and life to the paint than ANY sealant can....however carnuba waxes will last between one to three months max, hence why I use a great sealant for durability and longevity of the shine.
you can see more in the gallery on my site..the NXT is available there too...
Great work on both of the car's in the thread prior to this post.. Crazy reflections in a couple of thoes shots.
