All I can say is wow, detailed the wife's 02 Maxima and it looks great. Way better than the Gold Class I used to use on her car.

One easy step, and it even gets rid of the swirls. Although I think that will take a about 3-5 more coats.

Not as good as Zaino, but the Z got the Zaino treatment yesterday.

This detailing work is for the birds, but it pays off in the end.

I am a huge fan of that NXT! Glad you liked it too! Car looks great, but I dont think the lighting in those pictures does it justice.

 

Had to throw the Zaino'ed Z in the pic.

 

Yeah, I need a better camera. I can't seem to figure out my Pentax Optio 330.

 

so hows the durability of this?? ppl have had it for a couple months now.. i also wanna put some on my maxima, blackfire is reserved for the Z

 

Well, at the rate it has been raining here in STL it has held up very well. After 2 weeks of flash floods and thunderstorms still beading and shiny.

 

I have used NXT for about a month and its not very durable. I have rougly 10 coats on my G35 and it beads still but does not have the same protection as Zaino nor the gloss.
I just tried DULON over the weekend and it seems to work very well.
I am in Florida and our water is very hard so that might have somthing to do with the lasting properties of NXT.

 

glad you liked nxt, its an awsome product for the money. Zaino is better but the prices is worse

 

I just got my black/black ZR on Friday. The production date was April 10, 2004. I forgot that the paint might be too fresh? I applied a light coat of Meguiars's NXT on Memorial Day on a cool surface in my garage. Today I noticed in the sunlight the long straight strokes that I applied with the applicator. I cleaned it off with a soft cotton cloth and it appeared again in minutes. Do I used Mothers Calf. Gold Carnauba cleaner wax, safe for clear coats. Or what else?? Thanks ahead!

 

Ditto on this end. Then I tried Zaino and after spending quite a bit of time with washing, clay baring and the various Zaino applications the Z looked great. Tonight, about ten weeks later I washed the Z and the finish beads well and is still slippery. Hooked on Zaino.

 

nxt polish or wax?

 

I have the cleaner, polish and nxt wax. If you want to try it, let me know Nick. We will meet up and detail our cars.

 

NXT contains some cleaners in it; therefore, it does not layer well like Zaino. It might take 2 coats, but after that, you are removing a coat when you add a coat.

 

I think you are correct..
I am VERY happy with DULON, its a two step process but it drys quickly and the shine is incredible.

 

i love your maxima! beautiful color too!

FYI, after starting with Zaino and applying a few coats, getting shinier and shinier with each coat, after 10 coats I decided to test the durability. I stopped applying coats and just washed fairly regularly (weekly or less) with Zaino's Z7 car wash.

After about 6 months the car still looked great, but I noticed the water beads weren't quite as tight as they used to be. I cleaned her up good and slapped on a couple quick coats.

I love Zaino.
