Who says NXT looses its look!?!?

Well I had some extra time off the long hours at work to pamper my truck a little. Really just a good cleaning and wash with Gold Class Shampoo. Here are the shots, I applied #80/#81/NXTx2 on 5/3/2005. Not all that long ago but still looks great!

love the look of NXT on Black,,, nice truck you got there.

some have had success with NXT's durability...some have not..

is your SVT still slick and slippery to the touch?? jus wonderin'.

for me, NXT still shines on, but doesnt feel like its still there/protecting

Man there is something about looking at those Lightnings that just makes me feel like I am flying. And the black with NXT on it is just icing on the best cake in town. Great pics.

What I did notice is that when you use nxt spraywax after washing, you get more durability from the techwax itself, and more shine!

Sweet truck, I have been admiring it from some of the other posts. The reflections are amazing - makes me almost want to get another black truck.....almost

Do you use the Spray Booster Wax on a wet or dry surface after washing?

My current strategy is to use the SBW after every wash. Seems to be working very well.

I tried using it on a wet surface but it was not a time saver, and in some spots it was hard to remove, so I went back to dry surface application.

Normally when I rinse my car off, it doesn't have much water left on it anyway.

gb387, the Lightning looks great as usual. I think using the #81 adds a lot to the depth and reflectivity on black. I don't use #81 as much on my Impulse Blue. I used it all the time on the black TA though.

The truck looks outstanding gb, even after many washings.

I didn't mention that but it has 10-14 washes (about 2 a week) since the detail and tons of rain this spring.

I have not used any Spray Booster Wax since the detail.

karll... I will check how slick it is after my next wash, still seems slick as the water likes to sheet off after a wash and bead up during a rain.

Nice result! I too apply NXT Booster Spray Wax after each car wash to get the slick feel. It doesn't take long to apply and it's easy to buff away when you apply extra thin film. If time doesn't not permit, I will just do horizontal panels only.

Very nice! NXT is one of my favorite LSPs on black.
