i read an article about it in this months motor trend and wondered if anyone has used it yet. i was planning on washing, claybaring and nano waxing my car. sound good?

 

Yeah, I have had it for awhile. I did it to my truck a few weeks ago. It's pretty good. You'll notice the imperfections in your paint. I'm sure it'll look really good if you don't have orange peal.

 

i did it today and im not too impressed with the clay barring. but the nano wax is great. it did show more imperfections but it had a lot better shine.

 

I have used about half of one bottle so far. Overall, I have been pleased.

In the spray form (idk if it comes in other forms), it is very easy to apply. You just spray a small amount on a dry car and wipe off. You don't even have to worry about rubber and moldings either, since it is not really a wax. It is, however, hard to tell where you have been and where you haven't. This isn't really a problem for me since I use it about every other car wash (only takes about 20 min to apply), so the car probably stays covered pretty well. Even small drops of rain bead up on my paint. My car is Sterling Mist, and as far as looks I guess it's okay. Not a lot of depth or an excessive shine to me, but I doubt with my color that would be very easy to get. I will definately be purchasing another bottle.

 

I am a guy who likes to try out many different products all the time. Ive used it, but I find it as an average product. It doesnt last long at all. You really need to apply it every 2 or 3 car washes to keep the car fully waxed. It did hide some small hairline scratches that I have, but then again using a good compund is good for getting rid of that. I dont think it brought out the imperfections in my paint, but IMO it didnt shine nor give me that deep wet look I like.

I am currently using NXT every 2-3 months and layering Meguires Gold Class on top of it once a month. So far so good. I get the shine, durability and the deep luster that I am looking for.

Next on my list are Adam's polishes. Been hearing good things about them.

 

NXT FTMFW. I have been using this for a while now. Love the glossy shine.

 

I second the NXT product...I've used Gold Class before...and I thought that was a good wax...boy was I wrong when I switched over to NXT...its soooo much easier to use than Gold Class...in terms of applying and removing the wax...the Gold Class was just too hard to remove...

 

^^ Yep, but just remember that the NXT and Gold Class are two different kinds of waxes. NXT being a synthetic wax (more durable, more reflective mirror type shine, easier to apply) while the Gold Class is a Carnuba Wax(little less durable, deep substantial shine, a little harder to buff off). Both are equally as good, it just boils down to a matter of wax preference and how many times you want to wax your car. I just use a combo of both to get the positives of both products.

IMO if you are looking at teh Eagle One Nano, you might as well grab a bottle of NXT or Gold Class. Wont have to worry about reapplying so often. Or even order up some stuff like Poorboys, Klasse, Zaino and others.

 

I tried the Eagle One Nano Chrome polish. I found it to be average, not any better that the cheap, old school Turlte Wax Chrome polish. So I haven't even wanted to try the wax.

I do recommend the Eagle One Wax As You Dry, spray. Great for after washing the car to put a very fast, easy just waxed look and feel to the ride.

 

How do you apply both on the car? I mean, I use a random orbital with a foam pad...do you just add a little of both, then start applying to the car? Or do you coat the whole car with one first...then the other?

 

I was debating which Meguir's wax to go with. They have a 3step system, the Gold class and then the NXt stuff. I called Meguir's earlier this week and the rep told me their toughest longest lasting wax was the NXT. So I actually have done step1 (paint cleaner) and step2 (Polish) of the step system then topped it off with the NXT as my step 3.

NXT is easy on easy off for sure. No I want to see how long it really holds up.

 

I coat with NXT first then coat with Gold Class. In my personal opinion I like to have a wax that could last a few good months without worry, but I still prefer the shine of carnuba over synthetic which is why I also layer the Gold Class on top. You truely do not have to layer anything over the NXT if that is what you like(mirror like, more reflective shine).

 

Yea they have a pretty good 3 stage system in my opinion. But try to add the claybar step before you start with the paint cleaner or even compounds. You will see a big difference and your paint will be smooth as glass. The key is not the wax you use to get a killer shine, but its actually the prep(washing, claying etc) which many take for granted.


Holy hell, sorry MAXSE5SPD for totally changing the subject in here. Definitely didnt mean to. Lets try to get back on topic for the thread starter here guys!!

 

NXT is complete garbage. I tried it on my wife's SUV and when I washed the car again less than 3 weeks after waxing it there was absolutely NO beading at all when I sprayed the car with water. So this crap didn't even last a month or through the first wash. Also when i applied it I purposely didn't wax the front bumper so I could see the difference it made and the front bumper which had no wax on it all looked exactly the same as the rest of the car. If you want something that bad just save your money and buy turtle wax.

 

^^^ I don't know what you did, but I have had NXT on mine for 2 months and it still beads like when I first put it on. Lets see ... all the positive reviews and then there is your review. Sounds like defective bottle/can of wax or users error. Just my .02

 

Claybar- sounds abrasive. I have an 05 and the paint is still in real good shape. Does it take a long time to claybar? Will it remove swirls? (My wife's car is black)

 

I applied it today with great results
