PICS after using Meguiar's NXT
WOW. That is one sick mirror shine. I'll try out that method as well.

I to use a leaf blower to dry my wheels, and in other tight places...
when you go to to the car wash the final step is a "blower" then towel dry...
I use the 3 steps from Meguiar's every 6mo and Meguiar's gold every other weekend, and I love the results.
NXT is a synthetic wax and Gold Class is a Caranuba wax...
I'll try Meguiar's NXT wax in the near future to see if any changes in the shine...

In any case, the leaf blower method has been covered and proven plenty of times in these forums.
As for NXT, how does it compare to Gold Class wax (also Meguiar's, if you've used that before)? How does it compare to any other wax for that matter.

I have done that to all my cars. Anyway, I have seen a noticeable improvement in all of my car's finishes. There is also a plus when using a synthetic wax, it holds up better in the heat. Here is a picture of my Z at last weekends Blackhawk show. Waxed it the weekend before with NXT.
Synthetic is nice for durability but i still would carnauba wax after a good polish for shine.

I used to drive fast after a wash/ before a wax, to get water out of the crevices, but then realized that this was not such a good idea because you are driving a freshly cleaned car on a dirty road, possibly hitting bugs etc. So I just dry extremely well, wax, and then go for a drive. If you waxed well enough, the water will run off anyways.
