Meguiars "nxt" product line .. thoughts/opinions?

I recently recieved a brochure for the Meguair's NXT product line and was amazed w/ how the results came out, esp. w/ nadir_s's max .. just wondering if anyone else besides nadir_s has had a chance to use the Meguiars NXT line and if you've had nice results w/ it and would it work wonders on a white max?

I just bought the tech wax. I have a black max and have yet to use it. What do you guys think my results will be? I have a lot of little surface scratches that I am hoping to get rid of or at least make better.

i thought wax doesn't help the scratches. you need a polish to do that and wax to seal in the polish.

ive used NXT on both white and black. Results were definately noticable. It didn't help with the swirlings though.

I think the tech wax is easy, in expensive and looks great but (for me) has terrible durability.

I just used the wash this past weekend and love it. Lots of suds and nice smell.

I like it very much. It buffs off easy and looks great.

I unfotunatly tried to wax my hood the other day while it was raining. I was under the cover of the car wash. Even backed the car up so the back was not covered just so the hood was not getting rain or mist. This was not good enough. ( I like to wax at the car wash during rain as I don't have a garage and usually does not come underneath the car wash roof).
Anyways, water still got to my hood and now I have speckled marks from the bad conditions of application. This is not against NXT. This is what happens when you use any wax in these conditions. I have had great results from NXT in ideal conditions.
Any suggestions on how to get the wax off and start anew? My fenders have the same effect. I have heard some rubbing compounds are brutal or don't have the desired effect.
I just would love to have my paint looking as good as I can.

Thanks and regards,
MM

Just use some dish soap and wash the hood (or the entire car if you feel like it). It'll strip off any wax you have on there. Then reapply the wax.
