If you are lazy I say NXT or go for something that lasts long like S100/P21S or meguiars #20

Hey, I resemble that remark! CL, thanks for the pointer to P21S. I've seen it referenced but never read up on it until now. I'm basically a lazy SOB like Robert, but I'm willing to put in a bit of extra effort in the beginning if it will mean less work in the long run. I'm thinking maybe a treatment with AIO topped by P21S might be a good combination.

Why not just pay someone to clean it for you? Or are you lazy and cheap?

If you really are lazy, Zaino is definitely NOT for you. Look somewhere else.

go to a local harley dealer and get S100, it's P21S re-labled and sold for about $15 cheaper

I called Meguiars. The rep. told me the NXT is there longest lasting product that they sell. Even better than #20, which is a polymer based sealent.

Also asked if there are any cleaners in NXT. The answer was no. The rep. told me layering is possible. Not sure why others have said that you can't layer NXT.

Regards,

Peter

I just spent 6 hours over at meguiars w/ one of their top guys last week working w/ different products. NXT has very very mild cleaners in it, it can be layered ultimately, but more then 2 is really just to much. And as far as longetivity, that's really up to your environment and how you treat the car. Personally, i've gotten good results w/ NXT but then again, I wax my car every 6 weeks or so. Personally, i've seen #20 and # 16 last months, I don't know if I truely see that happening w/ NXT. But if you noticed in the other NXT thread, that's what I'm currently using, and it's what I think I will always use on our show cars till I find something better.

Check out this thread on Autopia, Mike Phillips is who I spent the day with:

If you're lazy

If you're that lazy than Klasse AIO for sure. Topped with P21S is a great combo.
