Yeah absolutely. I think Meguiar's Gold is simply a carnuba wax which will not do anything for the swirls. The NXT is wonderful at hiding them.

 

ooh. thats good to hear. i sure definately try NXT before i move onto zaino. i would like something i can easily get off shelves.

thx.

 

Oh yeah, thats another good point too. Can get NXT anywhere, don't have to order it and wait a few days.

 

here's an old pic of NXT (I think I did apply megs deep crystal polish #2 as well though)

 

so which NXT wax do you guys recommend? paste, liquid, or spray? or are they same thing in different bottle?

thx.

 

that looks crazy!!

 

I've only used the liquid so I can't say much about the other stuff.. But it works great. I read a bunch of posts where people say they like the paste version better though.

 

Hmmmm...its seems like there is no one “best” wax which suits every owner.

 

just like lube...to each his/her own based upon trial and error....

 

I am new to extreme car detailing, but I have been using Meguiar's Gold Class. My Z is a new chrome silver, so I don't really have to worry about swirl marks too much.

However, I would love any recommendations for this particular color. So far, it seems that people here like either Zaino or Megiars NXT. Is my gold class just not gonna cut if for me?

 

If you like the look of gold class keep using it...NXT will tend to darken the look of your chrome silver (most megs products darken/add "depth")...Zaino is a very durable but optically clear sealant...NXT or gold class will not last as long as Zaino...but they are both localy avaible and very user friendly...no lab coat or mixing beakers required

 

Because each recommended zaino product (recommended by zaino of course) costs money. Don't forget the zaino hardener ($10) and the zaino gloss enhancer ($10).

 

haha, im sure if u apply THAT many coats of Turtle Wax only (lol), it will shine just as well!!

 

I recently switched from Klasse polish to Zaino. I really like the results with Zaino. So far six coats of Zaino polish (two coats of Z5 and four coats of Z2).

 

yeah I bet.

I'm going to go with 3M or Eagel one when I'm finished with Zaino. Heard good things about 3M

 

Zaino!

 

You don't have to. I don't even apply Z6/Z8 after each coat. Just as a finish coat. The only reason I do that is because I find the car repels dust better if I do.

You only need apply Z5 if you have swirls or scratches. If you've got those under control then all you need is Z2.

I've had my car for over 2 yrs & have 32 coats. The ONLY reason I apply that many is because the more layers the deaper the shine. If you're just interested in protecting the paint then just apply it as you would any other wax/polish.

Now compare, Zaino goes on and comes off better than anything else out there. Plus you probably use less Zaino per coat as well.
