    Imho the NXT darkens more but the M26 darkens the paint more.

    Re: Darken Paint Question

    IMO:

    •Both products will "darken" the overall
    look of the paint system to a certain
    degree---"eye of the beholder", et al.
    -{Just to note: if there's any darkening
    effect, it just may also have a muting
    effect on the paint's metallic particles.}


    •In order to get a more definitive answer:
    -Do one-half of a horizontal panel
    with NXT 2.0...the other half with
    the Ultimate.
    -That way: you can be the Ultimate judge.

    They are fairly close to in appearance. Ultimate Wax will darken more. But you will probably not notice the difference.

    I have Granite crystal on my 15 Challenger...I tried Chemical Guy's Black Hybrid on it and I liked the results
