Meguiar's NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0
Thinking of putting a coat on the ole' Seal Metallic Gray for this weekend. I have read some sentiment it is comparable to Zaino. Anyone have any experience with NXT Tech Wax 2.0?
Also if I go from clay bar to Tech Wax 2.0 is this ok? Or should I do some intermediate step between the two?
Thanks!
P.S. I noticed my first door ding today, wow was I peeved, I just cannot stand door dingers. Hopefully a fresh wax will help me get over it.

I don't know about the NXT wax. I do like Meguiar's other products but I LOVE Zaino products.
I was able to eliminate a very moderate ding by gently messaging it from the inside of the door with the back of a tape covered spoon. I'd recommend someone to be careful doing it, as it can easily make it worse, but it can be done.

Zaino is an internet purchase and I'm Last Minute Man, so I'm stuck with what is sold at the local chains for Boxstoberfest.

NXT may not last long but it looks great and you can put it on in direct sunlight and it comes off with ease. Thats what I use. I know nothing about detailing though. I love nxt though.

NXT Tech Wax is good. Easy on Easy off, good looking for the little effort required.. Like Jaay said it does not last long.
The only step you could do after clay is a complete wipe down with the quick detailer, then apply the NXT wax.

As far as an intermediate step, use Meguiars show car glaze or Mother's glaze before waxing. It will really make the paint look wet.

Okay, maybe this will seem completely stupid, but I use the NXT Tech Wax mostly because I like the smell.  It is very easy to put on and take off though.
Honestly with modern clear coats so good I don't notice much difference after I clay bar and wax my car. It also doesn't rain much where I live (God bless California), so I never really noticed that this wax doesn't last.

Glazes don't do as much for lighter colored and silver cars. It's much more noticeable on darker paints.

Has anybody used this?
I have (between claying and waxing) and have been pretty happy with it, but I've never really totally understood the difference between something like this and a glaze.
