Default Meguiar's NXT 2.0 vs. Ultimate waxes.

I have been using Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0 (liquid), but decided to try the new Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax. I can't tell a difference, other than the Ultimate is more expensive. It costs more in dollars and you get a smaller quantity (16 ounces vs. 18 ounces).

Has anyone else tried both of them? Did you notice any difference?

Maybe drive the car around for a few months or so before you wax it again, and when you do, on the hood or something, put a piece of masking tape down dividing it into two separate parts, and try both waxes on each part and then you can compare them side by side.

Drock, what did you use on the black car that you liked? Looking for something better than NXT

TO be completely honest with you, so far i have loved the Turtle Wax Black Box. I wasnt to fond of turtle wax products and still not, but the Black Box is simply amazing for a black car that isnt getting a full on detail.

i think they tried to fix the durability issue and streaking problems from NXT..I dont think NXT would last more then 2-3weeks with a few washes in between. Not sure how the new ultimate wax durability is.

Liquid gold class is awesome as well...just doesn't last long either...but no "wax" lasts long anyway...but the depth and shine of carnuba is amazing!!! esp for black or dark colored cars!!!!

I have been a big fan of Meguiars for yrs and try this combo...clay your car after a good wash using the 2 bucket method....then polish out any fine scratches...swirls...etc with a good cleaner polish and a D/A polisher...then follow with step 2 of Meguiars deep crystal system....its a pure polish with essential oils etc that feed your paint...followed with NXT tech wax 2.0....now you can leave that on the car for awhile and after it wipes off effortlessly its ready to be removed...many factors influence this...so make sure you have the time to wait...now after a day or 2 ... and I prefer the car get some sun too (do not apply waxes when car is hot and should be in the shade and cool to the touch)....apply a thin layer of the Ultimate wax or any quality carnuba wax like liquid gold class by meguiars!...it looks amazing...trust me...check my pics in the links..and no I do not work for meguiars!
