Warning! Purchased and used Mequiar's NXT-Generation Tech Wax on new black '05 GTO.
This wax is about $15.00 at Target. Bottle ads read,
"Unique engineered synthetic polymer formula"
"Ultimate DEEP GLOSS and protection"
"Clear Coat Safe"
Purchased because of the "clear coat safe" point as I had sealer applied at dealer when I bought the car.
Back panel reads,
"Nothing even comes close to it."
"Here is what this amazing product will do..."
"Your paint will be darker and richer, and the shine will be the deepest, clearest you've ever seen"
"Engineered to eliminate those fine scratches so you can have a flawless finish"
"Glides on and off easily... you'll be surprised how easy it is to reveal your dazzling, new finish"
I followed directions on bottle. Washed car with Mr. Clean spotless system and allowed to fully dry.
Parked in shade on hot mid-day. Allowed car to cool to shade temp.
Used product applicator and applied thin coat per directions. Allowed to fully dry.
Used brand-new micro-fiber polishing cloths, and brand-new 100% cotton finishing cloths.
This product was GARBAGE!!!!!
It was very hard to put on, despite claims on bottle. It is supposed to be a liquid but is nearly a paste. Takes a lot of rubbing (bad) to apply.
In contrast to claims on bottle, took HARD rubbing with clean micro-fiber clothes to remove initial hazy layer. Once removed, this left the entire car with filmy dark and light streaks.
Took three additional hours to remove most of excess synthetic film with hard hand rubbing and a pile of brand new 100% cotton finishing cloths.
Still had light and dark streaks and filmy residue that would not dry, but only smeared.
Finally had to wash the car two times and scrub with soap to remove most of remaining smeary streaks and film.
Needless to say, this product is absolutely NOT what it claims to be. Hard to apply, nearly impossible to remove, and WILL alter the appearance your finish in a most unappealing way. So far this alteration does not appear to be permanent, but the filmy streaks take multiple scrubbing washes to remove, then buff out.
By FAR the most horrid car wax product I've ever encountered in thirty years of caring for my cars. And for this junk, you pay a premium.
