^^^He's right. I used NXT on my Met. Harvard Blue Pearl Honda Civic for nearly two years and I must say its the best over-the-counter wax product you can buy. The best results I got with it was when I applied it with a low speed 4 1/2" orbital buffer I got @ Wal-Mart for like $20. The little buffer only has one speed @ about 1,000rpms and paired with a terry cotton pad and a liitle NXT, it actually made my 9 yr old civic look new! Of course I also claybared my car before I waxed it which achieves an ultra-smooth finish, which is nessacery with all rough textured paint finishes.

With NXT a little goes a long way, and always dampen the pad before you apply the wax, it will make waxing on and waxing off a hell of a lot easier remember that!! Applied too thick and NXT tends to haze over on dark colored cars and cause an ungodly glaring finish to appear for days untill you wash it a couple of times...believe me I KNOW!!! This can be especially important if your using a mini-buffer like I discussed above, as you can carry a small dab of wax over actaully a couple of doors before you have to re-apply to the pad.

Results are amazing, however, it is only a synthetic wax, not a carnuba, which pretty much means its going to fill in and cover up most of the sh*t in your paint, but it wont last more than a month. I always tried to re-apply NXT at least every other wash or every other week with NXT spray detailer in between waxes to maintain gloss! I now use a line of Poorboys and Clearcoat products from www.superiordetailsupplies.com , paired with a 7336 Porter Cable variable speed buffer, they work even better on my silver bimmer! Good Luck with your results
