I thought it was great too, until I washed it 2 weeks later. No trace of wax left on the car! See how yours goes, but I'm thoroughly unimpressed now...
You know...I'm completely torn on NXT too; I can't figure out if it's durable or not. It looks stunning right after I use NXT, but after a few days of rain and a good washing, the shine seems to decrease a notch. After a couple weeks, I'm not impressed and feel the urge to reapply. Another odd thing I've noticed is that after you apply NXT and slide a towel across the hood, it's just not very slippery. When I used the cheap NU-Finish stuff, a towel would slide right off the hood from one end to the other. Lastly, when I get NXT on my hands, a little soap and water takes it right off. When I used NU-Finish, I remember it was a pain to get off.
On the other hand, there are things I like about NXT. It's so easy to apply; it's like putting lotion on your skin. The best thing is when you get it on your black plastic, honeycomb, and seals, it comes off like water. Removing it is equally simple, there is virtually no dust, and the entire process was hours quicker than other waxes/polish.
I believe I've used 4 waxes/polish to date...Basic Turtle wax (in a gift box), Gold Class, Nu-Finish, and NXT. Maybe I was in a different stage of my life where I wasn't as observant, but I don't remember being impressed by Gold Class and Turtle Wax for all the time I invested. Nu-Finish impressed me, seemed to hold up for months, it got me compliments, and it was cheap. On the negative side, it was harder to remove, it was extremely hard to get off black plastic, and it was very dusty when removing. If you missed some spots and tried to remove them a couple weeks later, it was brick hard to get off.
NXT was the first professional type wax I've used, and it's great, but I'm concerned about it's durability. I'm thinking about trying Zaino next time.
