Remember these products are marketed to the people who just wash and wax..no prep work...

another plus to it is it does fill light marring..so for the ones who do not want to polish right away it can be a benifit....

yes its no exotic stuff..but was not meant to be....

I got one of the Megs gift packs at WM for 14.00..so I will try it on a car..if no good..it will be used on the lawn furniture or given to some kid looking to clean his car

Thanks al, I may pick up the $14 gift set also, is that stil avail?

I use it for when I polish cars at a friends used car lot on some Saturdays for him. 106FF , CCS orange pad , CCS blue pad, lay down the 2.0, let it sit for 30min, wipe off. Everybodys happy.
Like i said before, great filler wax, still crappy to get off if you dont let it dry though. I want to try CG wet glaze or EZ Creme to compare.

LOL

I have to agree with you. while it does have a descent look and may be slightly improved from the first version it is still no where near where it needs to be. With the first version I got 1 to 2 weeks tops and out of 2.0 I would be lucky to get 3 weeks. I have glazes that last that long.

easy on, easy off. Takes forever, usually 45+ minutes to pass the "swipe test" Didn't last through night of heavy rain, even after 12hours to cure. Smells great through.

In my opinion NXT looks great when its done right.

Havent had one disappointed customer yet each time I've used it.

do polymers or sealants harden like carnauba? do they prevent stone chips?

No wax or sealant is going to protect you from stone chips unfortunately.
