Klasse AIO vs NXT 1.0 vs NXT 2.0
I decided to order some NXT 2.0 at a very low price to try it out on my car.
When I first bought the GT, I used Klasse AIO immediately. Since then I've alternated between Klasse and NXT 1.0 with comparable results. I didn't notice one having a better shine than the other, and I didn't really notice one lasting longer than the other. Is this what everyone else has found?
How does NXT 2.0 compare to Klasse and Zaino Z2? I really want something for my winter car that will last 6 months of winter, but still keep it somewhat looking good in the process without having to do an actual detailing session in 10F weather (no heated garage).

2.0 is alot better than 1.0, I havent tried the others, but I use the liquid 2.0, and I am so satifisfied that I dont even want to try anything else. some zaino would be cool, but it's too expensive, and a PITA to order

I never used 1.0, but from everything I've seen the polymers are different, and it's alot better for beading, and lasts longer. I've also seen a little difference in the depth of the paint

NXT 2.0 has to be better than 1.0, as for me, 1.0 never lasted more than a few weeks. Now, I don't drive my car in the rain, but if I'm going to a show and it rains at the show, and on the way home, if the rain is hard enough, the 1.0 felt like it "wore off" and wasn't smooth after I dried the car down. Now, I only use Meguire's Gold Class wax, and LOVE IT!! For detailing, I am a SOLID believer in Adams!! That stuff is AMAZING!! WAY BETTER than Ultimate Quik Detailer (and I used that stuff religously)!!!

Gold Class was much worse than NXT 1.0 from my experience. Gold Class lasts like 3 weeks. One rain shower and the finish no longer beads water. I ran NXT 1.0 through 6 months of MI winter (road salt, snow, mud, sand) and it still beaded water in the spring.

Don't know what to tell ya? Do you garage your car, and is it a daily? I drive mine every weekend to car shows and cruise nights, and it only sees rain if it happens to rain while I'm out at a show. When I use Gold Class, only thing I need to do at a show, is use my Cali Duster, and a little Detail Spray, and it feels like glass again. Even on the way to a show, and if it rains slightly, the water just rolls up the hood and on the windshield, as if the water beads were on glass.

I garage my cars but I drive in all-weather conditions (rain, snow, salt, mud) and park under direct sunlight in the summer. Gold Class never ever lasted more than a month. Meguiar's NXT, Klasse AIO, and NuFinish will last at least 6 months and gave me the same quality of shine as the Gold Class (Dark Blue / Black clearcoat finishes).

I've been using Mothers Synwax for the past 6 months and I totally recommend it! Just recently claybarred, polished and waxed the stang and I had to drive it during wet weather last Thursday. After 200 miles in the wet, mostly highway driving honestly the top 2/3 of the car looked exactly the same as it did before I left. The Synwax kept the water off the car and it still looks clean!
