Since using Zaino I have spent less time with better results than using any other treatment. The Z2 last for months and all I do is freshen it up with their detailers Z6 or Z8. In my case, I last did Z2 on Thanksgiving day and will apply it again next weekend.

I've been using NXT for about three years now. Love it. Awesome shine. Easy to put on and buff off. And contrary to what some others state, it lasts for a long time. I wax my car every three months and water beads up nicely throughout that entire period.

Use Eagle One Wax As You Dry after ever wash/between waxings (no matter the brand) which will keep your car fully protected and silky smooth after every wash.

I tried the Wax as you Dry and hated it. It left a milky residue that was hard to get off. NXT Quick Detailer really works great after washing a car.

A common mistake, you may have used too much product as it's to be sprayed on quite sparingly. Wax as U dry is better than most detail sprays as it can withstand much more and the car does not need to be dried prior to using it.

+2. Great time saver. Even speeds up the drying process as it helps repel water.

I have used NXT on my black BMW X5 and white Jeep Grand Cherokee and it reallt work very nice. I use Rejex on my black Porsche and it seems to shine a little better. However NXT is great stuff with a deep wet look where as ReJex seems brighter.

saw it in the store and it looked interesting. honestly, i just dont have time for rejex, zaino, etc. would love to find someone to hire to do it for me, but most detail shops in my area seem to use low end products.

I can do a coat of Zaino Z2 in about 1/2 hour. Takes no time at all. Wipe on, wipe off.

There is more to it isnt there??? What about clay bar, polish etc.?? I wish i could just find someone to do this for me for a fee. I know lots of folks on this board love to spend entire weekends detailing their cars. I just dont find this very enjoyable - especially after working 14hr days all week. I love when my car looks great, i just dont have the time or patience to do it myself.

DerivatesGuy, Email phil@detailersdomain.com he does detailing and uses some of the best products. The best products are not available in stores. Menzerna, Pinnacle, Zaino and the likes are great wazes / sealants.

BTW... what derivatives do you deal trade? I have trades some HY.NA.CDX.S7 in my prior job.

I've used NXT and loved the ease of use. But didn't last long. I also use Zaino but what a pain to use. Until that is, they came out with Z-AIO and Z-CS, its now a breeze to use.
