Anyone Tried Meguiar's NXT 2.0 Yet?

I think this just came out a few months ago and I'm wondering if anyone has tried it yet and if so how is it? It's supposed to be more durable than the original version.

I can't really tell a difference and i love the solid wax form instead of the liquid. I tend to use to much when i use the liquid stuff.

I just used it recently, and I can tell a slight difference from NXT 1. Its easier to remove, and thats not saying much as the original was very easy. I can comment on the durability in a few weeks, as I just applied one coat on yesterday.

The best combination I would suggest Clay Bar > Meguiars Gold Glass (really makes Dark colors pop) > NXT 2.0 (longer lasting than Gold Class, but lacks the shine)

I used it for the first time the other day and thought it looked great. I got 3 compliments that weekend about how clean the car looked!

Probably the best OTC sealant out right now. Looks especially good on darker colors.

I use their professional line #21 in the new 2.0 version on the Mercedes. Same as the NXT 2.0.
So far it has held up well. Also use Adams Detail Spray or Meguiar's Ultimate Detail spray after each wash.

Is it a sealant, wax or both?

i need to use up my old bottle. i see it on the shelf calling my name though.

is there any advantage to paste or liquid? or is it purely preference? i like the liquid. never tried paste.

I prefer paste. Never really decided why, but I feel like it just works better.

Today, just bought NXT 2.0 and applied. .... It smells good and comes off easy.
It does fill in scratches and top clear coat. As for reviews about making paint
darker, unsure if it affected my gray luster... it does not make paint flakes
'pop' but paint is glossy.

I tried topping with ps100.... but ended up a little less clarity. So i just
reapplied NXT. good again. Worked well in the door handle area.

for $15, its good and i would recommend.

I would typically clay, cleaner, polish, carnuba (~3 hours).... but this NXT is
good enough (40mins - 1 hour) . Time IS money.

Yea thats the process I usally use, Clay, cleaner, polish, carnuba over two days since im using Klasse, just time is pretty constricted lately so Im thinking of just applying the NXT 2.0. Im usually not really happy with the results if I dont clay first. So maybe ill clay and apply the 2.0.

no way you can beat that deal. but it has a 2-3 week ship wait.

just quik detailed and nxt 1.0 waxed the other day.

i noticed a big difference with the 2.0 wax. the color appears to be darker and much more smoother for a long period of time. I know this should be in the stupid question thread, but people ask me all the time "How much was that paint job?" i tell them its factory, and they're all in wow. the car looks like glass compared to my sig below lol
