Pardon my ignorance.

Which Meguiar's NXT product are you guys refering to, I see all manner of waxes and tire dressings but nothing specifically for wheels?

Thanks!

A store here has just started bringing in the NXT line . Which should I try first the paste or the liquid wax?

Let me clarify what I meant to say just in case I didn't get it across.

All my detailing products are Meguiars. I am, and always have been for a long time now an avid Meguires user and have met the owner and had a great conversation with him last year at Brands Hatch. The NXT product is brilliant. It brings up a shine like no other product I have used including Zymol, Zaino and Autoglym. Especially on dark coloured cars. However, although Rejex doesn't quite have the shine and lustre of NXT, INHO Rejex does a much better job protecting the paintwork from bird crap and the like. It also does a great job inhibiting muck and grime and it seems to last for months. I am not saying anything is wrong with NXT though. Except when it comes to Glass. Rejex leaves a coat on the glass that simply repels water. Even the window wipers skim over the surface as if water is not there. It leaves a strange mist in its path that instantly clears and brings up visibility. NXT does the opposite. For some reason its as if it creates puddles of water where the rain collects and smears the screen as if on an oily surface. Also Rejex makes it simple to clean off bird and road crap.

I have both NXT and Rejex. For a long time I used Meguires Deep Crystal but then heard of Rejex and picked up a few bottles while on a trip in the US. Since then I have been so impressed with it I have stuck with it. Then I was handed a bottle NXT TechWax (which by the way they do a special NXT TechWax for Glass), so I tried it. I was again impressed and switched to NXT but I found that I have to use NXT more often and it doesn;t repel bird crap and road grime very well. In fact despite the incredible gleam it seems to pick it up even more! SO I have gone back to using Rejex.

Anyway that's my 2 pence worth.

NXT......synthetic polymer protection

Rejex.....synthetic polymer coating

Sounds the same to me.  This has been debated many times over on the rennlist board.  Very similar products (my apologies for the "exact" comment). 

The idea, development, use, results are similar.  I have used both and there is no difference.  I can buy NXT locally, REJEX you need to mail order.

I have been told by a car car specialist that NXT has silicone in it. RejeX has no silicone or teflon in its make up. They are different products in many, many ways.

life use to be soooooo simple.... wash car, dry car, and use Turtle Wax. It even has its own applicator. :jump: :jump:

Hi, I am a new member and have purchased Rejex based on your replies. I recently waxed my 911, prior to purchasing the product. Do I have to take the wax off to get the best results? If so any suggestions? It appears that I can apply it over the wax, but I won't get the same long term results.

Thanks

Clean off your existing wax to get the longest life out of your Rejex application. You can use a wax remover sold as one for cars, or just use a liquid dishwashing soap of your choice. You might also want to consider claying the paint surface, and polishing it with swirl remover prior to applying Rejex.

Make sure that when you apply the Rejex, that you do it in the shade and that the surface and air temp is below 85 degrees F. Don't forget to apply it to the glass and wheels. Lastly, do it in the afternoon, so you can let the car set in the shade for 12 hours (overnight). Do this and you will be very satisfied with the result.

Thank you very much. I have not used a clay bar before, so maybe the other options you mentioned I will try first. When you do apply Rejex are you typically using one coat?

Yes, one coat is fine, but a multiple coats will last longer, especially in harsh driving environments like winter driving. There are many that put on multiple coats especially on the windshield with good results. Let the surface cure at least 8 hours between multiple coats.

I have the same question as Brad, anyone have any suggestions about whether to use the liquid or paste NXT

Thanks
