Up in northern michigan for the holiday and stopped in a random NAPA store and found last bottles of Meguiars NXT Spray wax and wow what a deep wet gloss it leaves. I don't think they make it anymore so I will use sparingly.

It's still available here:

Meguiars NXT Generation Spray Wax is a synthetic polymer spray wax/paint sealant used to refresh existing car wax or sealant.

Was it discounted?

This stuff is old..
 
That stuff was very finicky to use I know that. Mike did a write up on how to use it properly over on MOL.

It did give a nice shine though.
 
I just orderd GG Speed Shine, hoping it works as the reviews I've read.
You get a waterless wash spray and some wax all in one.
I'll let you guys know what I think of it once I get it.
I plan on wiping my car down daily with it to maintain a clean finish.
 
From what I've been told (thanks Setec), nxt is the worst of the regular consumer spray waxes- if you can pick up gold class or ultimate spray wax they'll give you a better bang for your buck without specific mike phillips tutorial videos required. :)

It was strange to apply compared to some of the other mequiars products but the shine was unbelievable. I think it's gets a bad rap from the weird product consistency

Worst at what? Until UW came out, NXT was Meguiars best protecting LSP. NXT has unique looks that neither Gold Class or UW can match on lighter colors.

OP, IMO this was great stuff for the time but it has been overtaken by spray waxes that don't need the hazing step. It would be awesome if Megs updated it to work as a WOWO wax and retained the good looks, otherwise, why not just wax with regular NXT and get better durability?

I think as a 'spray wax' in the wowo mentality is where it suffered. After reading up a bit more on the product, it seems that the issue was that extra hazing step that folks didn't know about, pay attention to, or care to follow.

I've got nxt liquid, but was steered away from the spray. *shrug* it probably won't ever be in my garage but if you use it and like it then go for it.

I found some at Pep Boys in Sterling Hts Mi a few years ago. I bought it for $5.00 to use on my cymbals. I still have yet to try it out.

It's stocked at Glendale, in the metro Detroit area.
 
Bought the spray last year. Sprayed it on a panel and threw the bottle out. The stuff is garbage. Spray waxes should be convenient. This really wasnt. Was difficult to buff off and just wasnt good. Their uqw is awesome though.

Extra hazing step? More like under certain conditions this stuff would turn to concrete on the paint and be impossible to buff off. And I'm not talking on a day like today when it's 95, I'm talking a 40 degree day during the winter when you wanted to "boost" your winter coat of NXT. At the time NXT liquid was easier to use, today there are a dozen spray waxes/sealants that are better and easier.

Turning to concrete is exactly how it was for me. You hit the nail on the head with that description. And like you said the liquid was easier to use than the spray.
