sorry no way in hell NXT lasted 3months..maybe if you parked the car for 2months and 1week then drove it and washed it in the last 3weeks. That stuff is known not to last long at all. Even some of the GOOD stuff that is supposed to last a long time has a hard time of lasting 3months..especially on a Daily driver

I am giving my exp with the product...I use it and detail cars on the side for the past 25 yrs...it is jmo but I too use it on my DD and no issues or problems...other then requiring application every 3 months...as I said there are many factors that determine how long waxes/polymers will last...I have had no streaking either with any car I detailed...repeat business says so..

I use the Zaino products and you can't go wrong. They really work well on dark cars, especially black!

If you want to try it, don't go crazy. Gets yourself a bottle of Z2 or Z5?, Z6 spray and if you want some Show Car Spray (black bottle). Just remember to clay the car at least once a year before applying any wax, polymer, etc. to get that deep shine and pull up any embedded dirt in the clear coat/paint.

Just my two cents to help anyone and definitely not putting down any other products.

If I am being cheap I will use the 2.0 but for me the best wax would be AutoGlym straight from jolly England. 50.00 gets you a container the size of your wifes cold cream ie small. I put on laser thin coats and got 5 coats before it was empty.

Zaino products are great too...I use the perfect tire shine only but everyone has products they like and don't like and one person feels product x is great while the other thinks it sucks....no worries..my advice to the op is too experiment with many different types and stick with the one you like the most!

+1 on the Autoglym HD wax. Great stuff. I've found it as low as $27 by shopping around.

True, but most of them are cleaned out, and a lot of locations never seem to have gotten it at all
