    Gold Class Car Wash is Meguiars top shelf car wash. But beyond that I like Gold Class because you can find it just about anywhere, it leaves your finish looking great considering all you did was wash our vechile, and Gold Class has a lot of lubricity.

    NXT Car Wash works well with hard water and has a slight edge in cleaning ability.

    You cant go wrong with either product.

      Wash with ONR, use Optimum Car Wax or Duragloss Aquawax as I dry, clean the wheels with ONR and apply DG 501 or FK 1000p if needed, clean the tires with an APC and dress with FK 350 or Meg ASD

          IMHO,

          Gold Class, M62, and Shampoo Plus are the best. But thats just my opinion.

              If you look at the label of Gold Class it states "Shampoo & Conditioner"

              Does NXT contains conditioners ?

              Whats conditioners btw ?

                I do one panel at a time starting with the top (spray, wash, rinse, dry), go through atleast two buckets for the car and one bucket for the rims and tires.

                    Absolutely. SwirlX would then be performing the needed function of cleaning and polishing the paint, making ColorX redundant. Follow SwirlX with two coats of your preferred wax (NXT, M26, or whatever). You process would look like:

                    1) Wash
                    2) Clay (if needed)
                    3) SwirlX
                    4) Wax (two coats)

                        And only one coat of Wax if I use ColorX? Any major difference between ColorX and SwirlX, my car is black.

                          ColorX is a cleaner wax with much gentler polish action than SwirlX.

                            IMO ColorX is more for oxidation and super fine swirls, while SwirlX will better address swirls and fine scratches.
