Hi laff488,

That's a very nice looking Miata. Just by coincidence, I just sent out an e-mail to the SoCalm Miata club about setting up a Detailing Day for Miata owners here at Meguiar's.

Have you had a chance to use the new NXT Tech Wax?

Mike

[laff488]

No i have not used NXT,did not know about it till now.
But i do use all of Meguires Polishes and Waxes,
I even have both there Polishers Electric and Battery ,but some kids broke into my garage and stole everything that i had.
If i am not mistaken i have a Sponsorship with Meguires at least this is what i have been told.????

Hi laff488,

To check on the status of your sponsorship, you should contact Meguiar’s at,

Sponsorship@meguiars.com

They can give you more information. Sorry to hear you were broke into. If you get a chance, try the new NXT Tech Wax on your Mazda’s finish. It leaves a very clear, high gloss finish and is the perfect wax for show cars or any car that is displayed under bright lights.

Thanks for joining the Meguiar’s Online Forums!

Mike :D

Hi VIPER BAZ UK

Welcome to Meguiar's Online Discussion Forum!

Nice Viper, I took the liberty of resizing your photo to 700 pixels wide using this free and very cool software program, Easy Thumbnails (http://www.fookes.com/ezthumbs/index.php?2.53)

I then uploaded and inserted below for everyone's viewing enjoyment!

Here are a couple of pics of recent details of my 2001 Mustang GT.

I usually prep with my Meguiars dual action polisher using Meguiars #9 swirl mark remover for routine swirl removal and #83 DACP for trouble spots.

Bob...

While both pictures look great, that first picture is simply awesome! Your paint not only looks perfect, it looks wet!

http://archive.meguiarsonline.com/gallery/data/500/92760bigfront726.jpg

#7 and #26 are great products, especially for the results they produce at a cost of less than $20.00!

Nice work, and thanks for showing people what can be done with #7 Show Car Glaze, (a product that has been around for approximately 70+ years), and #26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax. #26 is a true show car wax and a product that has been around from [I think] sometime in the 1980's.


Interestingly enough, many people consider #26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax to be a Carnauba Wax, when actually it's a blended wax. Carnauba is only one ingredient in the formula. #26 also contains Polymers, Silicones, and Resins, (I have no idea what resins are in the context of a wax formula).

By combining multiple ingredients, you get the benefits and features from multiple ingredient. Products based upon a single ingredient, for example Carnauba, can only give you the benefits and features from this single ingredient.

Just thought I would throw that out there....

Mike,

I have tried a lot of products from many manufacturers and settled on #7/#26 quite some time ago as my combo of choice. From your early descriptions of NXT Tech Wax I got really excited as it sounded like I could get a similar look with pure polymer durability (not that #26 isn't durable as it is). So far I have been really pleased with NXT Tech Wax and the look is very close to #7/#26. NXT does trade off some of the wet look for more reflectivity.

This picture is a little better than the last. Just to be fair to NXT I think the major difference between the pictures is the lighting. Also I did not do any surface prep prior to applying NXT as I wanted to test its swirl removal/hiding charactersitics. Once the weather gets a bit warmer here I do plan to do a full detail on the paint. Just picked up a bottle of #82 swirl free polish to use with the PC and then will apply NXT Tech Wax.

I am really torn between my old standby and NXT Tech Wax to the point where I am tempted to top NXT Tech Wax with #26 and see what I get.
