Don't use an orbital/buffer if you do not know what you're doing.. It make cause burn marks!

I usually just use a applicator pad and generously put the NXT on. Let it sit for a while for a gooood bit... and take it off.. It's not that bad, stuff comes off EASY.

I'd agree, don't use a buffer, but with a PC 7424 (Random Orbital Buffer) it's pretty much impossible to burn the paint or put in swirls. www.Meguairsonline.com has some great how-to vids on using one. Or ask here.

My recommendation is if you don't mind spending the time to make your car look good, a PC7424 is a great investment. You can buy a PC7424 for around $200, about the same as what it will cost you for one professional detail.

Totally agree - and if you're lucky enough to have a Lowes nearby you can actually get a PC for under $100.

Looks like you guys beat me to it. I have never heard of this NXT before. I just saw it in Walmart for $13 a bottle and decided to try it. Wow! And to think I used to pay triple the price for the Zaino stuff. Forget that crap. The NXT is better, easier, and way less expensive.

I just put my first coat of wax on the car, Meguire's NXT. Looks good! Does anybody know if this stuff contains fine polishing compounds as well? I hope not, but it does say "removes fine scratches" which makes me nervous...

Autozone, Advanced Auto, I think Target and Wal-Mart may also carry it.

It doesn't contain abrasives - it has fillers which fill scratches, but will not remove them. The wording is a little misleading because when the NXT washes away the scratches will re-appear, but in any event it only has chemical cleaners, not abrasives.

Wax on wax off..................

A good friend showed me a trick several years ago
and I'll share it with you.....take whatever liquid wax
your using and drop a small amount on a chunk of
styrofoam. If the styrofoam melts don't use that $hit on your paint! I like NXT and use it on my workbench surface. On my cars I use only Zymol
from the clay, cleaner and finally Zymol Concours
wax. Meguires makes good products but it doesn't
come close to Zymol.
