Used NXT tech wax liquid, threw it away

[stove937]

I used the wax on my black honda and it left a very hard to remove residue, it isn't really that noticeable, but does anyone have any ideas on why this happened? It really pissed me off, after spending nearly all day washing it.

Was the paint heated from being in the sun?

[stove937]

no, it was in the gartage for about an hour before

[stove937]

i was able to remove most of it with some QD and a lot of time, but this still really upsets me, and its stilll there

Did you apply it to the whole car before removing? Maybe you're only supposed to let it cure for 5-10 minutes before removing? Just giving some different thoughts. I've never used that stuff so I don't know what the directions say.

Was it version 2.0?

As much as I hate the durability of it, its ease of use was through the roof. I used to just slather it on, in the hot sun, let it dry for 30 minutes and all I had to do was run a mf over it. I never had to use excessive amounts of force to take it off. That was one of the few good things I actually liked about it.

Maybe you just got a bad batch. I have no clue how the first version was though

The problem you had would suggest either that you applied it too thick or that you did not give it sufficient time to dry--or both. NXT 2.0 is not known for removal difficulty.

Typically, one would apply it to the entire car and then wait for it to haze, depending on ambient conditions, anywhere from 10-30 minutes.

Apply it thin.

I suspect it was applied to thick as well.

How did did you apply it - foam, terry cloth, mf applicator ?

:whs:

Its known for its lack of durability, but application/removal wasnt bad.

[stove937]

well you are probably correct about me applying it too thick, i felt like it was a bit too thick, and that does make sense. I guess i'll fish it out of the can. It was 2.0 though.

From what I understand, Honda paint can be tough to work on(?)

I'm very happy with Collinite 845. I think I'll stay with that over NXT.

Streaking and smearing. It happens sometimes. But it shows up on black colors more easily. As other colors are less noticeable. After a few days under the sun, it'll go away. But it's frustrating tho to see it after a whole 2 hours of washing and waxing the car. :(

Next time use very sparingly. You'll probably fall in love with the product. Personally, I think it's a great OTC product.

any wax you use, be sure to apply the thinnest coat possible...NXT isn't too bad, if you ask me, it is much better and easier to apply/remove then their Gold Class wax...and by the way, don't throw anything like that away, better off give it away...

Did you clay and polish before application? Prep work is super important too.
