Some pictures of my NXT Tech Wax Beading

I applied a coat of NXT Tech Wax with a MF Bonnet on a 10" orbital about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I applied another coat by hand yesterday. Hopefully this will last me through winter. NXT was very very easy to spread around by hand and like always, extrememly easy to buff off.

Here's some pics:

Doesn't NXT have cleaners in it? So when you applied the second coat... you kind of got rid of the first one. I think. Looks good either way... and try some AIO (if you have it) on the windows... they look like they could use some beading as well.

Not sure how NXT will last in winter, I didn't have much luck with it in South FL. Do you have any Collinite you could top it with?

Negative. I'm about to trade in the car, so as soon as I get my new vehicle, I'll be ordering plentiful of supplies.

NXT is an awesome product. You'll get 3 months.....easy with 2 coats. Remember guys, NXT is supposed to sheet. That's why the beads are large. I'd rather have sheeting than beading on my own car when it's sitting still in the sun after a rain.

It has some cleaners in it.....very light ones. After 12 hours you're not gonna remove much though. Two coats are important for coverage; not durability.

I have never seen more than 3 weeks protection from NXT ... so tread carefully. Nice beading, but remember you just added the second coat. To get thru winter , I would suggest a synthetic sealant like DP, or Duragloss.

I had two layers of NXT and it actually beaded kinda like a nuba, didn't sheet. Then about a month and half into it, it was like nothing was there. Water just blobbed on the paint as if there was no protection or anything, it would barely sheet even when I let a hose drain pour slowly to draw itself off. Used it on my roof as well and same thing? Used it those two times and that was it. Maybe I have a bad bottle? But after using EX-P I'd only be interested in the DG sealant anyway, love EX-P.

Be sure you detail it very well before trading it in.
