I just made an interesting observation about NXT products... I've had major smearing with NXT, even when applied lightly, but others haven't. Some people get real muddying of pearls and metallics, but some don't. Some people love the smell, some really don't. Well I used up my bottle of...

I tried Eagle One Wax as U Dry today, talk about a fantastic product! Does just what it says which is always nice to see. I QEW'd and sprayed the WAUD before I dried each panel. Talk about a great shine! The car looks freshly waxed it really does. On top of that it made drying MUCH easier and...

Just finished detailing this Jag, its a 97 XK8 with about 56k on the clock. Well loved by its owner who just got it. Moderate to severe swirling all over the car, looks like the previous owner probably used a foaming brush or a carwash regularly. Interior was immaculate. No before shots this...

Okay gang, I have a guy on Sunday that wants me to detail his Mazda Protege AND his Honda Shadow Motorcycle. I've never detailed a bike before. I understand the higher level of attention to detail required, and I have plenty of small tools but I'd really love it if someone could either point...

Okay guys, I'm getting ready to order my detailing supplies for the spring. I'm all out of EX, and the smearing issues I'm having with NXT are steering me elsewhere. The three products listed are what I'm deciding between, I would use the specific pre-cleaner/polish for each. I love EX, I...

Hey guys, I was wondering if any Autopian who lives near Escondido, CA and winds up being bored or something would mind doing me a favor... My fiance is getting ready to buy a fully loaded Mazda 3 Hatchback with the navigation system etc. She wants the lava orange color with the black...

I searched but dont think anyone has discussed this yet. Went in to get NXT Tech Protectant to try out (Advance fixed the pricing, NXT wax is $14.88 now instead of $6.88 lol) Anyways its Eagle One "Tire Detailer" seems pretty cool. Its a thick Endurance like gel product but it comes in...

I knew it would happen to me eventually. I don't do cars for profit very much, but I do every once and a while but never like this one. Its a 1996 Mazda 626 with 150,000 miles on the clock, burgundy, never been waxed, hasn't been washed in at least two years. Its a mess... Terrible swirls...

I mentioned finding a huge door ding on my fender today in another thread, well to add insult to injury I just stopped off to get some gas and looked down my hood. Some cat at some point in the day had a hard time bonding to the NXT on the car, marring in lines all down the hood, looks awful. It...

The car had gotten a little dusty yesterday so I backed it out and hit it with some Poorboys S&W and had an interesting result I've never had before, the S&W streaked, really badly. I followed it up with some Megs Quik Detailer and that came off fine, no streaking at all. Anyone using NXT...

Well guys, today I used NXT for the first time and have some very interesting observations. I was going to go around once with a white pad and some GEPC but decided to give NXT a whire with no prep and see how it did. I wanted to know if it did have these good optical qualities by itself. The...

Well, I think I've finally decided my plan of attack for spring and what I need to order. Steve from Poorboys is gonna love me LOL :rolleyes: ;) I had asked about an abrasive polish thats not quite as strong as DACP but stronger than #9/SFP. Well I did some searching and I found one that...

Just picked up my bottle of NXT to try out, Paid $6 at Advance Auto Parts (thought elsewhere it was like 12?) Hopefully should be nice in a couple days and I can try it out!

Well guys, it was 55 degrees here today, so its making me think of that spring detail I'm gonna do... So far I've ironed out what I'm going to do, the only wildcard is the abrasive polish. I have DACP, #9, SMR, PI-III-MG. I like DACP on other finishes, but for some reason on the Lexus I just...

Well, sadly my application of Collinite 476 does not seem to have survived 2 days of sitting in the NJ acid rain that burned by Poorboys EX making me try the Collinite in the first place. We were in Jersey for New Years and where my fiance's family lives is in north central Jersey (Fanwood for...

Well did a QEW! Loved the product, worked very well. The car was filthy, white on both sides from the salt. I used two buckets and a spray bottle and dried according to Scott's method, one terry towel, one MF towel for the final wipe. Temp was a balmy 34 degrees... This stuff eats dirt for...

Hey guys! It finally rained! Unfortunately it was tonight after dark so I couldnt snap any pics of the 476 beading like I'd promised. Its supposed to keep raining all day tomorrow so hopefully I can then. The beading is great, very tight small beads that roll off the car even when its not...

For those of you that were contributing to my Collinite thread here: http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30444&perpage=18&pagenumber=1 And those of you that weren't here are the latest pics of my car detailed with DACP and a yellow pad (to remove some marring on the trunk...

Well, got back from Jersey for Thanksgiving late last night and found my Collinite waiting for me from Autofanatics.com. Today I went nuts. DACP on the rear bumper and trunklid (someone in Jersey felt it would be neat to wipe the dust and dirt off of my trunklid and the top of the rear bumper...

Hey y'all. I think we have a winner. I want something more durable than my EX for harsh winter use, but I hate to give up the look of my Poorboys EX to use something like Klasse or Zaino (tried Klasse, wasn't happy with the way it looked on the paint) So, I think Collinite may be the answer...
