  • What's the difference between NXT Tech Wax and NXT Generation Tech Wax 2?

    What's the difference between NXT Tech Wax and NXT Generation Tech Wax 2? I read the product announcement but so? what does it mean to me? is it for a different generation? does it last longer? does it shine better? does it fill better? does it clean better? does it come off easier? does it smell better? does it enhance color better?

    I would like to know as well. Although the package price for the line is a deal. I don't want to purchase it without knowing what improvements have been made (specifically) to the previous NXT line. Thanks

      NXT 2.0 contains much of the same hydrophobic polymer technology used in Ultimate Quik Detailer. If you haven't tried this product yet you should. Its ability to shed water is amazing. We played around with some of it at Meguiar's open garage one night before it was released and saw some pretty amazing stuff. One of the forum members took some video and put it up on YouTube - check these out:

      Here is a short clip of Mike Pennington introducing and showing off 129D to MOL members at an "Open Garage" on April 26th, 2007.

      Here is a preview of Meguiar's new product code name "129D"

      Again, the stuff that makes UQD behave this way is now in NXT 2.0 and also in M21 2.0

        Well it's been a long time since you first came to one of our detailing classes, remember this?

        MBWorld.org at Meguiar's!

        This was you and you're Jaguar right?





        And this was your buddy wbylnch and his Mercedes-Benz correct?




        For everyone reading this thread, the above link to the class Buellwinkle attended is a really good read, lots of interesting comments throughout the thread. It's hard to believe this class was held on Nov 20th, 2004, 02:59 PM that's over 3 years ago!


        Well good to see you back Buellwinkle with great new questions...

        Probably the best thing for you to do will be to give the new NXT a try and make up you're own mind on if there's any difference or if it's better than what you're using now. Was over on MBworld and found a post where you recommended M16 or M26 here, and in your article on using the rotary buffer you lean towards Klasse.

        By the way, what are you driving now a days?

          No, it's me with the Benz, still have it, still shines, still use #16. Bill's Jag is gone, went off lease and he'll be waxing his new temporary ride a 8 year old Saturn that's never been waxed soon until he decides on a new ride.

          So no thoughts on what makes NXT #2 different than #1? I hate using the word better since NXT #1 was pretty good.

            Here's what Meguiar's official statement is on the primary difference...



            Hydrophobic Polymer Technology™ provides relentless water beading and protection against oxidation, corrosion, UV rays and surface degradation. “Hydrophobic” means “water-fearing” and this new breakthrough technology builds such incredible protection and surface tension that water beads up and just glides off your paint finish, wash after wash!


            We've personally have only used a small amount of the new product from a Lab Sample. We used it on the hood of these two Special Interest Vehicles which neither see a lot of washing or rain, but it sure made the paint look good and that's what was most important to the owners.

              Keep in mind, most people love the way NXT makes their paint look but the biggest complaint was that it didn't last very long which people judge by water beading. So R&D reformulated the product to include a new polymer technology they created.

                That's just not like you Mike. I want to see the masking tape down the middle, #1 on one side, #2 on the other. Sorry, it only works with the masking tape.

                    I think there was several side by side test done right before NXT 2.0 was released. They might still be on the old/new/other forum. Unless they have been moved over here already.

                    I have actually done a side by side and to me the new 2.0 was more clear looking and more smooth and slick feeling when you run your fingers across the two.

                      Thanks, that's the sort of review I'm looking for.
