Damn, forgot why I came into this thread. ..... Just finished a exterior detail, boy it needed it. Picked up Meguiars NXT carwash. First time using it and I gotta say I was pretty impressed. It lifted bugs abd grime fairly easy:tup: Finished up with Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax. I have been using that quik wax for years, I really love it. Gotta appreciate being able to wax a car in a matter of minutes and the finished product is beautiful, again I really love that stuff. If I were to paste wax, time didnt allow me to do so, I use Meguiars NXT Tech Wax 2.0 which I like as well.

im not too familiar with this wax, is it applied with a microfiber cloth? currently i am using machine wax and it takes a while to do an entire car especially if i have to wash, claybar, polish it first

Yeah its in a spray bottle and you use a MF towel to apply. Its great for inbetween paste waxes. I can literally wax the car in about 5 min. The result is smooooth and shiny!!! I loathe paste waxing, might be a dif story if I had a buffer but alas I dont.

Ever try a wet dryer sheet on bugs? It works amazingly well.

Megs Ultimate Quick wax is a very good OTC product, one of my favorite spray waxes out there at the moment. For me, the three best things about it are that it produces great beading, has decent durability, and can be used in the sun.

WOW! Very impressed. I'm going to have to try this stuff.

yesterday not much Z action other than just admiring her :yum:... but i dusted/QD'ed the G in pre-prep to seal it tomorrow.

will do QD panel per panel followed by a quick sprits of PaintPrep and distilled water to remove all wax and seal using the One-Step Sealant. (too lazy to clay and polish separately. :D )

will need to start early as temps are kinda on the rise tomorrow....indian summer already? :confused: i hope it's not super sunny so that i can take some snaps after the work. polymers are notorious for looking like a frikken mirror on a sunny day and i hate it...but needed for durability.

I did nothing with the Z's today, but apparently one of my neighbors got himself a helicopter.

Thanks guys, I definitely recommend it. A little goes a long way, it is one of my favorite spray waxes and I have tried a ton!

Is that a Sikorsky? I wonder if it runs.

Mr Cool

I loved my Z keychain...but the Z will break off the ring within a month.

Gone thru 3 of them

No Z action today. Took the trusty Altima to work today. :(
