how does nxt gen polish and wax, compare to the regular meguires step 2 and step 3 polish and carnuba wax?
Step 2 is a pure polish. It has no abrasives and all it does is fill up your scratches plus provide a little "moisturising" action that can rejuvenate dried paint. Step 3 is a carnauba blend wax.
The NXT line only has wax (sealant actually), quick detailer and shampoo for paint. There is no polish except for the metal polish (which you do not want to use on paint, I've tried it on my toolbox )
The NXT wax has some cleaners in it, so it will remove some oxidation and stains for stubborn dirt. In terms of cleaning action, it's stronger than Step 2 + 3. In terms of protection, it depends on how often you wash your car. The more often, the longer the wax will last. If you wash rarely, you usually end up abrading the wax off when you wash that thick layer of dirt and grime off. When I washed weekly, NXT lasted 2 months+. Water still beaded and the paint was smooth. When I started washing monthly, I found that there was no more beading and that the paint did not have the smooth feeling typical of a waxed surface.
