I was at AutoZone today and wanted to buy a bottle of Quik Interior Detailer because I have used it before on my old car and it worked great. While there I saw NXT Tech Wax 2.0 $15.99 and if bought with Deep Crystal Car Wash save $4.99 instantly i.e. Deep Crystal Car Wash Price is $4.99 at AutoZone; hence, I got Deep Crystal Car Wash is essentially free. Though $15.99 is expensive for the NXT 2.0 Tech Wax I know that even at Wallmart paying almost $14 for the wax and almost $4 for Deep Crystal Wash Would put me at $2 above Autozone's prices.
Quik Interior Detailer
Though my previous bottle broke at the seam on the bottom at some point. causing me to loose the contents, I loved the stuff and bought more.
Anyway, I bought another bottle because frankly it is the only stuff I have ever used that had good cleaning ability and never left a residue only an incredible smell. I used it in my new 2008 Mazda 3 car (bought in January 2008) and it completely removed all of the dust. It even had a certain polishing ability on the steering wheel making it look brand new. There is a white haze of what I can only describe as oxidized flaky plastic.
My Quik Interrior Detailer Rating 10/10 :-)
Prestone Interior Cleaner with Odor Neutralizer (Not Meguiar's)
I am assuming this is similar to Power Out. I use it with a microfiber to remove stains from seats mostly. For instance, someone had a retractable ball-point pen (Pilot G2) in their pocket and it made a small, blue ink mark on the gray seat. Looked terrible. This cleaner cleaned it right up in the small spot that was bad. I also think the Mazda Seat material is incredibly easy to clean cloth.
My Prestone Interrior Cleaner rating 9/10 because I don't like the smell, but much better than the Turtle Wax product that is similar. I will try the Meguiar's Product next; I think
Deep Crystal Car Wash
I used Deep Crystal Car Wash today even though I have a bottle of the Gold Class. All I can say is that Gold Class provides more suds, Gold Class is thicker, and Gold Class has more lubricity. Although Deep Crystal Car Wash worked well when I used a little bit more to get to the same level of suds that 1oz/gal of Gold Class Provides, I was not overall impressed. Still gentle, does not remove wax, safe, and works well.
My Deep Crystal a rating 8/10 (Sorry for this lower rating, but it is still better than many car washes on the market)
FYI My Gold Class Wash Rating 10/10 (My favorite stuff. It is the best on the market; I think... never used better. I am happy to pay more for this stuff because it is superiror).
NXT Tech Wax 2.0
Superb. I used the included, purple, applicator (Similar to Hi-Tech Yellow). This stuff went on very easily and identically to NXT Tech Wax 1.0. Honestly, I could not tell the difference in the application process though this wax looks better on the applicator as NXT Tech Wax 1.0 Separated on me in the bottle :-( Still Worked fine though :-)
Regardless NXT Tech Wax 2.0 seemed to be harder for me to remove than the NXT Tech Wax 1.0. It could be because I let it sit for an hour or two or the microfiber. Either way I was very impressed with the appearance. I cannot measure the water beading ability of NXT Tech Wax 2.0 because measuring beads is tough. Moreover; I recently bought Ultimate Quik Detailer and my car is still beading during car washes because of that. Hence, if my car beads before applying the wax and after applying the wax, it is not exactly possible to compare the before and after.
My NXT Tech Wax 2.0 Rating 10/10
In Contrast my NXT Tech Wax 1.0 Rating 7/10 because it does not bead water like the new stuff and it separated somewhat. Looking Back, I would have given NXT Tech Wax 1.0 a 9/10 a year ago.
My Ultimate Quik Detailer Rating 10/10. It beads better than waxes and is very slick. I like it much.
