I've been hearing so much crap about the nxt wax, yet most ppl voted for it...
I my self use it and i like it, i have to addmit its not the longest lasting wax but the finish is so deep an clear, i've never seen a wax do what the nxt does, not a single sign of wax on the car just deep shine maybe that is way it does not last LOL.. I was using meg..#26 wax before that and all in all very good, but when the car sat in the sun you could see the swirls even tough i used the microfiber, if you touch the finish in the sun with you finger it left nasty stains like the wax is acctully melting... Anyways has anyone tryed the liquid glass yet?????????

I've used Eagle One Nano-wax, Meguire's NXT, and now the Clearkote. I'll have to try more in the future to give a definitive answers, but for the time being Clearkote is by far the best I've used. Nano-wax was good, but a PIA to apply and remove, NXT was also good but lasted all of a week. Clearkote so far seems to have offered the most shine, and I'm hoping that it'll last a while.
Best bet for long lasting protection and a good shine comes when using some sort of sealant and then a non-cleaning wax on top. I've had excellent luck with VM glaze, then Meguiar's #20 Polymer Sealant, and then a good non-cleaner wax to top it off.
good recipe right there :thumbsup:moridin2004 said:

Clearkote's Moose Wax is a one-step cleaner wax. It does a pretty good job as a one step product. It is an easy to use wipe on/wipe off product that leavesa pretty slick surface behind.
On the other hand, Clearkote's Carnauba Moose Wax is a carnauba wax without any cleaning agents. It has a pretty high concentration of carnauba and decent durability (about 3 months or more). It gives a nicer finish than regular Moose Wax, but it does require a prior cleaning or polishing step.
I've used pretty much every damn wax under the sun over the past 16 years of car ownership, and keep coming back to Zaino. It just works the best, looks the best and lasts the longest and that to me means it is well worth the money it costs. I still use NXT on the other vehicles in our stable, but the Mach gets Zaino.
Once a year I will strip the wax with Dawn dish soap, claybar the entire vehicle, polish the paint with Clearkote Red Moose machine glaze, apply a layer of Zaino Z-1 and then start laying down the Z-2. At present I have about 15 coats of Z-2 on the car and it looks like wet paint.
I use the Zaino car wash shampoo and will follow it up with a wipe down of Z-6 spray and then another coat of Z-2 to freshen it up. :coolman:

Still Not a WAX
to answer your question just read about the products we have been using. You will get Depth & shine & not a plastic reflection. ;-)
BTW: Z10 is a real good conditioner.

Claybar is a miracle cleaner, then happy with Mcguires wax and Eagle one is the shizzle for just about everything else

Not to be an a$$, but all the people that work for dealerships in my area suck pretty bad. They'll drop a towell on the ground, pick it up, and just keep going like nothing happened.

I got this from StangZilla off the Corral from a 3 year old thread

I start off by using Mother's California Gold car wash solution. I then do one coat of the cleaner wax, one coat of the glaze/sealer, one coat of pure carnuba, and finish with one coat of Mother's Reflections polish.
I love Mother's products but I'm sure there's a better way.
