Bha. NXT isn't very durable.

If you want to order:
Wolfgang pre-cleaner and the wolfgang sealant at autogeek.net

If you want to buy locally:
try to find Meguiars #16 professional paste wax

If you just want to go to autozone and pick up something, I've heard good things about the turtle wax platinum series, but personally, I wouldn't waste my money on it--I'd invest in ordering something.

You can also go with a combo that I like for under $25
Clearkote vanilla moose hand glaze (specialtymotoring.com)
and then Meguiars #16 (meguiars.com sells it).

Don't be foold into thinking that "new" technology is better--in my experience and others (autopia.org) #16 has been more durable and better looking than NXT.

oh, and if you want the best finish, you'll want to prep the paint (clay bar, polish...) if you're up for that, let me know, I can recommend other things.

I think the best suggestion is to look at the first thread in appearance, Detailing products FAQ.

This guy knows what he is talking about - I'm definately a big fan of Vanilla Moose. Haven't tried #16 or Wolfgang but pro detailers rave about it. You can always tell who the Autopians are

if you want some durability get some Meguiars Professional Paste Wax #16 ..as stated before.

1coat of NXT ..wait 24hrs and then apply 1 coat of #16 can yield you some nice results

Meguiars #82 Swirl Free Polish

I'm in the market for a better sealant, I've been using NXT, but it doesn't mix well with the other products

16 can be a bitch if not applied right though (i.e. too much).

GS-R jay??? I know you on Autopia! I'm Corey Bit Spank. Thanks for the comments bro

And the comment about #16 being difficult is true...but if you wipe on, and wipe off (don't allow too much time for it to sit) it will come off very easily. This means, do a fender and a door, and then wipe off the fender and the door, and move on to the next two panels, never letting it get hard.

And Eagle One Wax As You Dry is awesome. You can even dilute it for dry use (3 parts water to one part solution). I keep one for wet cars and one for dry.

First Use a clay bar:

The Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion:

Then the Klasse All-In-One:

Pinnacle Souveran (for dark colors):

OR Pinnacle Paste Glaz (for lighter colors):

OR Pinnacle Signature Series (for all colors):


Expensive ****, BUT very worth it. That shitty stuff you get in stores like Kragen and Autozone can't hold a candle to this stuff.

Pinnaclewax.com and Properautocare.com
