i actually think that under the right light conditions the CS looks better with NXT...I had a friend with a silver car and we did his...man I think I was blinded when the sun hit it...I think SS looks best at night with street lights hitting int...but yes NXT is great!!!!

Actually, according to Meguiar's, the ONLY difference when choosing between the paste and liquid is personal preference. I would try the paste but I think you will find the liquid to be preferable because it is easier to apply a thin coat -- which means it is easier to remove as well.

Here's a tip when using the paste (as demonstrated by Mike Philips of Meguiar's):
Use the edge (that is part of the pad that is under your fingers when you hold it, not the literal edge of the pad) of the pad and rub the paste until it liquifies, then you can apply a thin even coat to the paint. 2 thin coats is better than one thick coat.


2 coats of NXT

I spent about an hour just admiring my beauty under the lights... like someone said ... fell in love all over again.

The wax was so easy to apply and remove.. I look forward to paying my girl more special attention in the future. pics to come..
I like using the NXT spray as the second coat. I use the liquid with the D/A polisher coat 1, buff off. Wait a day and use the spray wax day 2.

Or you could score some zaino Z-8 and forget about the second coat of wax... I promise you won't be disappointed.

Z-8 really looks unbelievable and since it's technically a quick detailer, there's nothing to lose.

I understand people being loyal to a brand... but I tend to bounce between meguiar's products (since I've been using them since I was 16) and zaino (since I got my Z) ... a combination of both brands may give superior results
