I picked up some muddy foot prints last week, so I vacuumed the footwells and wiped the rubber mats down with ONR. While I had it inside I sprayed the black grill with Meg's Hyper Dressing, it was looking a bit faded. We had some light rain the other night so I wiped it over with NV Boost V2, just another layer on top of Lustre and Jet.

I used Boost V2, I got some with my last order. I still have about 1/3 bottle of the original left, but I'm not sure what I'll use it on, maybe the wheels. V2 is easier to use, especially on top of Lustre and Jet.

So besides easier to use, do you see other differences with v2

I've used it on the Qashqai a couple of times, but that thing is garaged most nights so it's hard to judge if it has offered better protection on it or not. This is the first time I've used it on the FJ, which is basically outside all the time, so should be a good test. Looks wise, I'm not sure if it's quite as glossy as Ech2o, maybe I'll have to do a half and half on a panel.

Just ordered Boost v2, the original was discounted by 50% but I resisted buying it as well

Well my buddy Hectour and I "detailed" the trunk of my EN this afternoon. Removed the matte vinyl wrapped OEM chrome 3D badge and replaced it with the flat, matte black badge from the 2024 Elantra/i30/Avante models...soooo much nicer

From what I can tell, NV are clearing stock of the older formula of Boost. The v1 and v2 formulations are quite different, and so is the overall purpose.



The concept of Boost v1 was that it was more a quick detailer that could add some protection, gloss and slickness to any surface or LSP. The point of difference with it was the ability to shed from the vehicle using their pH neutral soap, in turn taking contamination with it. I actually continue to use v1 as a topper on wheels for that reason. On paint, I was never wowed by it, it seems a touch grabby for my liking...................and I think that's why Boost v2 surfaced.



Boost v2 is apparently based on the same formula as Jet, in other words it's a more conventional ceramic/Si02 spray sealant. Where v1 would be stripped after each wash, v2 can last between 3 and 6 months. I have also found it easier to use, with a smoother and less streaky application, superior gloss and slickness. I think most people "get" v2 more than v1, I guess it's more in keeping with the competition than the quirky concept v1 offered.

So it's like "Jet Boost"
