  • NXT durability

    Ive been using NXT wax and i must say im delighted with the results.My only problem is that its durability is very disaponting and i would say its only lasting 2 weeks .Does anyone else find this a problem?Are there any tips to prolong its durability?

    durability or looks? I find that the great look dies down after a couple of weeks but a quick hit of booster wax brings the "look" right back. however just because the look dies down does not mean the protection has. Mosca said it best that you really need to look at nxt as a two part system to get the fuul benifits of looks and protection.

      I have been getting 2-3 months on a routine basis on numerous vehicles. I use the booster on my personal cars but not on my customers cars. I've had quite a few customers who like the durability of NXT and none have complained. How are you determining that the protection only lasts for two weeks? What is your process?

        the beeding effect seems only to last about 2 weeks and i would say that i wash with NXT wash twice weekly.

          Have you been letting the polymers set up for about 12-24 hours after waxing? I've been finding that just letting it sit in the garage for this time period seems to help a lot with creating a real strong bond to the paint. However, I know this isn't always possible and realistic.....

            After washing, claying, polishing and waxing I get beading for months. Here is a photo of NXT (x2) beading at 68 days.



            Is it possible that the surface was not prepared on your vehicle? I used Gold Class Wash, Quik Clay, #80, and then NXT (x2) 24 hours apart.

            When you say the beading is gone after two weeks, is that what you see in the rain or after washing in NXT car wash?
