Differance Between the NXT Generation Spray Wax and the Unltimate Detailer

[karimkhan]

Hey Guys

i have a 3 questions.

1. i would like to know the differances between the NXT Generation Spray Wax and the Unltimate Detailer. why are there the two products on the market.

2. Could either be used when the car is wet. i.e. before drying the vehicle after it is washed. If yes would the results be different if used on a vehicle that is free of water, (after washing the vehicle).

3. i own an suv and you can see under the vehicle very easily. when the underside is dirty you can see it. what/ how you recommend gong about cleaning it. also under the rear fenders, it has rustprofing and after washing and when it drys it looks a bit dirty, what do you recommend that i use to have it looking black/ new again.

First welcome to MOL and i hope you can find this site as enjoyable as i have

to answer your questions

1. The difference between NXT Spray Wax and UQD - NXT Spray wax is used as a booster wax to help maintain and add a little extra wax protection to an already waxed and clean surface. The spray wax was not intended to replace a good wax job. So depending on what the vehicle is exposed to you can reapply the spray wax about once every other week after a good wash to help replace any lost protection and get back that just waxed look. The UQD is meant to clean off light dirt and dust by adding sufficient lubrication and shining agents to also maintain and keep that just waxed look and you can apply UQD as often as you like. With UQD you also have the hydrophobic polymer protection which will bead water like crazy helping to maintain an already waxed surface but unlike the NXT Spray Wax it does not add extra wax protection.

2. Both can be used if the vehicle is lightly still wet (not soaked but a few beads here and there is ok) but for optimum results dry the vehicle prior to use

3. For the area under the vehicle, if it is bad like you say i use a dedicated microfiber with a highly diluted citrus degreaser. First hit the area with some high pressure water weather its via pressure washer or water hose to get off any large particles that can damage the paint while cleaning then spray the area down with the citrus degreaser and let the product sit for about 15 seconds and then clean the area and once the area is fully cleaned i wash the area with the rest of the car working from top to bottom. For the fender wells i know even after degreasing them they tend to still look dirty and stained on some vehicles so after i wash and degrease the fender wells i follow with HotShine Tire Foam and it will get them looking black and new again. Just to add, you dont have to use a citrus degreaser. That is just my preference. It will also work to just use a separate bucket with a good soap like GC or NXT. Just remember to not use this on the rest of the vehicle

The way I understand it, UQD still adds protection, it's just not a wax protection. It's more of a polymer protection and actually feels slicker than spray wax.

Hi karimkhan,

Thank you for posting these question to the forum.

Hey Guys

i have a 3 questions.

1. i would like to know the differences between the NXT Generation Spray Wax and the Ultimate Detailer. why are there the two products on the market.

NXT Spray Wax is a spray-on wax
UQD is a mist & wipe quick detailer

NXT Spray Wax is for adding protection but not removing dirt and dust off the paint.

UQD is for removing light dust, fingerprints and smudges and a secondary benefit is it makes the paint look great, gives it excellent gloss and slickness and leaves some polymer protection on the surface.

They are different types of products and that's why they are both on the market. That said, our new UQD gives you the same "effect" as using the spray-on waxes so we won't be surprised if we see sales of our spray-on waxes decrease as awareness of UQD increases in the car detailing world.

2. Could either be used when the car is wet. i.e. before drying the vehicle after it is washed. If yes would the results be different if used on a vehicle that is free of water, (after washing the vehicle).

Technically you can use the NXT Spray Wax as well as our Meguiar's Quik Wax, (same type of product), on a wet car but it doesn't work very well. It's always better to apply a protection product, (a wax or paint sealant), onto clean, dry paint.

When you spray a spray-on wax onto a wet car some of the wax will run off with the water into cracks and crevices where it can be hard to remove. You're always better off to apply to a dry car.

3. i own an suv and you can see under the vehicle very easily. when the underside is dirty you can see it. what/ how you recommend gong about cleaning it. also under the rear fenders, it has rustproofing and after washing and when it drys it looks a bit dirty, what do you recommend that i use to have it looking black/ new again.

The best way is to probably find a local car wash that caters to under chassis cleaning and let them at least clean it for you and then you can dress it. It's hard, messy work.

Hope this helps...

Hey Guys thanks alot for the info,, but for under the fenders and the non plastic parts, (like the metal that is covered with the black rustprofing under the fenders) what do you guys recommend that i use to dress it... esp under the rear fenders where thare are no plastic.

i would like to get a nice black finish like when you just got you car from the showroom.

do you have any pics of this area, i beleive i know what you are talking about but i just want to be sure. If i am right then i still spray it down with the tire foam and dress it with HotShine Tire Gel or Tire Spray with great results and some times the tire foam is enough to bring these areas to a new shine after washing and degreasing of course

here is a pic of what i think you are talking about but i may be wrong

Re: Differance Between the NXT Generation Spray Wax and the Unltimate Detailer

YES Derrickg that is the area where i am talking about,......................................

i have used tyre shine before and from my experience it collects alot of dust.

Mike i think there is a need to develop a product for detailing this area... Derrick G


P.S. thanks for the picture,,,,,

Re: Differance Between the NXT Generation Spray Wax and the Unltimate Detailer

Yes i have noticed it will collect some dust and dirt as well but it would be hard to keep that area clean no matter what if you are driving the vehicle around. Like you said about wanting it to look showroom. It can look like that but it wont last just for the simple reason that its not in a showroom but it will still look better than usual for a while

Re: Differance Between the NXT Generation Spray Wax and the Unltimate Detailer

can both UQD & nxt spray wax use togeter after wash?

[Derrick]

Re: Differance Between the NXT Generation Spray Wax and the Unltimate Detailer

You can if you really wanted to but after you wash and use the NXT Spray wax there will not really be a need for the UQD unless you just wanted to take advantage of the Hydrophobic Polymer protection in which case you should wait after applying the NXT Spray wax at least a few hours to give the polymers proper curing time before you start rubbing away with the UQD. Also remember that the NXT spray wax is not intended to replace a good wax application. It is only intended to be a booster wax to help maintain an already waxed surface by adding extra wax protection that may have been lost in between washes and daily driving.

I guess you could but there's no reason to do this and no benefit.

You would use one or the other.

This is correct, very good explanation.
