How long do you leave it sit on panel til removing? Seems like on and wait a few minutes and off. Is this correct?

after you apply it to the surface, let it sit for around 15-20 minutes (weather pending) and swipe a section with your finger to determine if it is ready to remove. if it's clear where you did that it's ready to remove. if it's streaky, it need to cure a little longer...
 
I usually start on the hood and work my way around. By the time I get back to the hood, it should be dry. It only needs to have thin layer to work right. Two coats are a must though to get uniform coverage. Well worth the results though!
 
On darker cars with NXT I've always had trouble getting the paint to look "even". There are blotchy areas of dark spots and then lighter areas where I've pressed harder on the microfiber when removing the wax...I haven't used NXT in forever and have never really came across this with any other product..Maybe I didn't let it cure for long enough?
 
Well I guess I couldve waited a lil longer. It wasn't creamy or nothing though when I wiped my finger on it. It was clear. Next time I will wait a lil bit longer maybe and see what results I get if any difference.
 
Sometimes the blotches or streaks can be because it apply too thick in some areas or some shampoo residue that didn't washed off completely. But it usually will blend away after a few days. On a black car I will usually apply by hand - slowly take my time to really apply the wax thinly, spread the wax nice & uniformly & use a clean cloth while washing off the shampoo by wiping it over the running water to ensure I really clean off the shampoo. Black color is kinda temperamental & need more focus on really doing a great job. :)



Same goes to me, I start on the hood & by the time I finish the whole car. I'll do a swipe test back the the hood. Our country M'sia is hot, so it will mostly pass the swipe test & ready to be wipe off. :)
 
Let the car sit in the sun for a while and the blotches should go away. After my first use, I had terrible streaking/blotching on my red MINI and was ready to strip the NXT off. But I had to drive the car to work where it sat in the sun all day. When I looked at it in the afternoon before driving home, I had a nice, deep, even finish on it.
 
I've had it sit on a car overnight, but this was garaged and out of the sun. It wiped off really easily the next day. That's one thing I like about NXT is how easily it comes off. Durability though is another story.
 
My paste goes reliably 4 months. I leave it to set 15-30 minutes on the surface.



As for the patches; Meg's had a problem with the consistency of early NXT & #21 emulsions. If the products are from the older batches it is possible that you'll get smeary, slightly oily look, with stubborn, dark-looking patches.

That's a kind of overapplication, because the active ingredients can not level well, and are unable to establish a continuous, even film on the surface. The dark patches are indeed movable with a towel. You should avoid over-deposition of actives - so simply try to use less when you have older formulae of NXT & #21.

Earlier #21s tend to oiling out from the emulsion, releasing "water" droplets during application.



Megs will replace the products if the issue is too disturbing. New batches don't have this problem, and of course, because of its different composition, the NXT paste was never affected.
 
Hey Bence. Thank you ,thank you, thank you for answering a problem I had with nxt. I bought nxt paste first and absolutely loved it . I used it up so I then bought liquid and experienced the streking oily problems.. I had so muchtrouble that I swore off nxt and switched to other waxs. I may give it another go as I really liked haw easy it was to use.
 
Nxt durability is far greater than 2 weeks. More like 3 - 4 months. Put it on thin and wait for it to haze before removing. Humidity is a BIG factor in how it takes to dry.



I've never had any blotching, running, greasing problems with Nxt (liquid) or #21 in Southern California or Northwest Wyoming. Both locations are pretty low humidity.
 
canoebuck, you're welcome! :D



"The pioneer helps, wherever he can." - old socialist saying... OMG...



So don't swear off NXT; it is a fascinating product with an appearance on par with other highly ........ (insert fave expression here) products out there.
