I have been using NXT V2.0 on my 2011 Tundra and have been very pleased with the results. I was using MEGs UQW as a next day booster but I went to my buddys Stereo shop and he gave me a bottle of NXT spray wax. It kinda acts like the regular wax in a spray form.
Is it not really a boosting wax kinda like UQW ??

It's been a while since I used it but it's a real spray-on wax. Most spray-on waxes are "booster" for whatever was previously applied. I'd say few spray-on waxes are actual replacements for a real coat of wax or paint sealant as you're not leaving as much protection ingredients on the surface after wipe-off as a dedicated liquid or paste product.

If you like the results and use it often that's more important. Key words being, you like it and often.


I actually coined the term "booster" for this product when I worked at Meguiar's. Needed a way to let people know it wasn't really a direct replacement for a normal coat of wax or paint sealant as in a dedicated product.

Hey Thanx Mike I really needed the clarification of what the NXT spray wax was. My worries were that if it were the liquid wax in a spray bottle then I was going to skip it as the "boost" potential is what I was after. It does seem to take a little longer to dry so I am going to keep a bottle of UQW around for a quickie shine and boost but I think I like the NXT combinations.
Thanx again for clearing that up for me and the super quick response.

Over on MOL I have a how-to article for using NXT Spray Wax, I'm pretty sure it's in the How To Articles forum group.

The key to using any spray-on wax is to apply a thin coat and to do this what works best is to fold a microfiber towel 4-ways and then dampen one side of the folded towel and use just this one side to apply the wax to the entire car.

Spray onto the towel instead of the car and you won't get overspray.

Here's the link...

Just noticed I've almost caught up to my post count at MOL over here on AGO :D

Just Dayum....now that is what I call customer service!!! My buddy who owns the stereo shop is a small business owner and we always talk about how awful customer service is in most ( 80% ) other businesses. With service like this I can now tell you that this is where I will be buying my car care products!!!
Thank you SIR !!!!!
 
That was one of the few Meguiars products that I didn't like. I didn't think it was much easier to use the the liquid. UQW is much better.
 
I have some NXT spray wax I never liked, too, but didn't use it in the way Mike prescribes...I just tried to use it like a typical QD. So maybe I ought to dust off that bottle and try again! :)
 
booster indeed ... but I also remember several that used it often just as a spray after washing too.
 
NXT Spray wax was horrible. It was harder to remove than NXT itself. The only thing it had going for it was it smells nice. I threw it away. I use UQW now, and XXT Spray wax. Both of those are go on and off with no problems.
 
Jaretr I don't know buddy ??? The past couple of days I have totally detailed my Tundra and then gone back 24 hours later and used the NXT spray wax just like Mike Phillips told me to do and how he ( well mainly his daughter ) demonstrated in the above link. The stuff works like a charm !!! Maybe YOU weren't using the product correctly ???

I had the same experience.

I bought mine back in 2004 (Mike posted that thread because a lot of people were having problems with it, IIRC). I'm presuming Jaretr used the same vintage product. It's possible/likely that NXT Spray Wax has been tweaked in the intevening 8 years, because it really was more trouble than it was worth back then, it was easier to just apply regular NXT, and there were "real" spray waxes appearing like OCW, AW, etc.
 
I could see where the spray wax if not used correctly could be more than a little bit of work to get it to work. I'm just sayin right now you can hardly look at my Tundra in direct sunlight. Then again I could be a little biased.
 
Sort of on topic ...

Earlier today I was applying NXT 2.0 liquid wax by hand. I prime and maintain my foam pads regularly throughout the application, (using final inspection or similar) to help distribute an even coating.
Having a 'moist' pad means a faster application, and I have negated the need for a booster application by just repeating this process more frequently.
Why boost when you can do the real deal in a faster way :)

With so many other spray waxes that are easy to use and give great results, why waste my time with one that needs special care. Megs UQW and XMT spray wax haven't given me any trouble. Maybe they improved the formula, but a lot of people complained about that product on this forum.

Priming does work when applying products by hand,


Priming your pad when working by hand

2. Using your clean finger, spread the product out and over the face of the pad lightly working the product into the surface of whatever material your pad is manufactured from.
