Hi,

I use Maguire's Gold Class Liquid Wax Since i cant get Maguire's "NXT" generation Liquid wax in Canada..

I strongly recommend you to use NXT for a extreme shine...

Only if I had an NXT wax.... :'( ...

Used Liquid Glass (acrylic sealant) and build up about 4-6 coats before winter. Very few swirl marks on my 03 SSM, and when used with a QD spray, the paint looks "thick" and the metallic seems more reflective.

Meguiar's NXT product line will be available at Canadian Tire stores as of July. If you can't wait til then, I'm sure you could head down to Meguiar's Canada headquarters in Mississauga and pick up some products there.

Hey, Thanks for a good information. However, I have purchased Gold-Class Liquid Wax and used it for only once! If I buy an NXT, then I will never use the previous wax again... therefore wasting bucks......

This Sucks..... :buah: :buah:

That's a great combo on light colored cars. Worked great on a beige benz I did last year.
Doing a NXT test on only the hood right now. Great off the shelf product. Easy on, easy off. Checking for durability and slickness. Probably end up going back to Zaino and topping it with S100.

I would like to add some more info for your consideration. I am currently using NXT but before that I used Klasse AIO. Although I haven't spent a lot of time applying the NXT, my initial impression is very good. The stuff makes your car shine and costs a fraction of what Klasse cost me. However, after a few encounters with adverse weather conditions (rain, mud, windshield bugs, etc.), I feel that Klasse has a better lasting shine than NXT. I used to use Klasse once every two months and just rinse the car with water when it got dirty. Now, I've used NXT for only a week but due to the rough weather the shine is almost gone (or atleast not as strong as Klasse would have been). Also, I used to apply Klasse to my windshield and rarely used the windshield wipers. Even after a month of normal use, the water would bead up and fall off the glass. So far, NXT does not seem like it can match those kind of results. No flames please, I am not saying NXT is bad. But you get what you paid for with Klasse and NXT. Both great products.

Every 'Wax' that you guys have mentioned are not really waxes are they? I thought NXT and Klasse were polymers that are used to polish the car..... what kind of waxes (real wax) do you guys use?

3M Swirl Remover works pretty good.

I usually wash, clay, 3M, Klasse AIO, and Klasse Glaze.

Collinite is very good too. It's been around for a long time.

I am a Zainoholic.
