So ever since about 2 years ago, I became a Meguiars fan with all the great 2008 products that were released. I especially fell in love with NXT 2.0.
Recently, for anyone who lives in Southern California knows that its been raining a good amount. One thing that I noticed recently is the NXT 2.0 "hydrophobic" feature does not last too long. Well to better phrase it, the initial affect that the sealant has with water does not last too long. The first day it rained hard, the water just beaded away and the rain just would not stay on the car. I loved watching it bead off. However, as the 2nd and 3rd day rolled around, I realized that the beads of water began to not bead off. I know that the sealant was still working since the water was really beading into that almost spherical shape but wasn't rolling off the surface like it used to.
This was a couple weeks ago when we had our first rain batch of rain. Since then, I decided to recoat my car with NXT 2.0 but this time only 1/3 of the car and the other 1/3 I put on M21 since I had some of that left in the garage and then left the last 1/3 as is. Today is the 3rd day? of heavy rain and as before, NXT 2.0 coat doesn't bead off as smoothly as day one. Its now the same as the area of where I didn't re-coat. The area that i used the M21 still beads off better but again, not as flawlessly as day one.
This morning, I also sprayed some quick detailer on one area and some quick wax on another area to see how long that might last me so i'll know better in a couple days how that holds up. Anyway, this was just an observation i had which I thought I'd bring to attention incase you didn't know already.
Anyway, Still love the products. a quick drive on the highway at 80mph right after the rain blows all the water off and looks like I just washed the car.
