I am sure they are decent products but, don't be taken in by the marketing. Teflon isn't going to do a darn thing for you. If you want to try something pick up some Meguiars NXT Tech Wax and Tech Wash. You should be able to find it at any auto parts store or discount store like WalMart or Target.

What I found to work absolutely amazing for me was this process.
Step 1: Mr. Clean Autodry car wash with included soap. (Used a sponge to rub it in)
Step 2: Meguiar's Deep Crystal Polish
Step 3: Meguiar's Gold Class Wax
You should try it

I second Bobs idea. However, also go with their Consumer line polish. I really feel you should apply polish and clean the paint prior to sealing it with NXt......
Gold Class and NXT have different looks. Gold Class is more of a clear reflective look whereas NXT darkens the paint giving a carnauba gloss and shine. Gold Class is a carnauba/polymer blend whereas NXT is a pure polymer. They are just different. NXT is going to be more durable than Gold Class. I definitely wouldn't say Gold Class is "better" than NXT. The look is purely subjective but, in every other way NXT is superior to Gold Class.

Wish my car was a darker color. Being white I don't really get a reflective look, I need something that will protect the paint and make it easier to get the crud off.

Not trying to put your car down but, it is easy to get a reflection shot like that in a garage. The pictures that are most accurate are taken in full sun with no shade whatsover. Photographers have long known about the best lighting to get the most impressive look on a car finish. It is called the Golden Hour which is about an hour before sunset. It is a bit deceptive though as it will actually make the finish look better than it would actually look in person. For the truest pictures you need to take the picture in full sun with no shade whatsover.
As an example here is a shot I just took of my Mustang in the garage. It is rather dirty and hasn't been washed in days.
By the way it is wearing NXT Tech Wax
Here is a shot of my GT in full Floirda sun wearing Meguiars #7 topped with #26

rjstaaf said:I hope you didn't take my post the wrong way. Your finish does look awesome. Lets just see some pics of it out in the sun
Yeah no harm done. I didn't take it in a negative way. You were just trying to help out silly34. I'll get some pics taken tomorrow
. I was going to try NXT instead of Gold Class, but the NXT was too expensive

Silly34,
Yellow is about as hard as white to get a good shine out of. Here is a thread you might want to take a look at. It is a yellow Viper with NXT. The paint looks like it was just sprayed on minutes before the pictures were taken.

Keep in mind that Meguiars has a 100% money back guarantee on their products. If you buy NXT and you find you don't like it they will give you your money back. Basically you have nothing to lose.
