Does ANYBODY get any durability out of NXT? I seemed to only get 2 weeks max from this stuff. I have also found that anything negative that is posted about NXT on meguiarsonline or Autopia is immediately deleted/censored. Whats up with that?

I guess I have had good luck with NXT...I got about 3.5 weeks to 4 weeks. Water was still beading nicely up to that time...but the slickness wears off in about 2 - 2.5 weeks.

I like using it. I like the depth that it adds to certain colors. Plus, it's real easy to use.

I get a minimum of a month durability and have never had any problems with NXT.

I got two months out of 1 coat of NXT when I first tried it about seven months ago. I also use Quick Wax about every two months or so to keep up the finish. I only do a clay/NXT about every six months. I used two coats this last time I did it (about three weeks ago) and my water still beads up nicely and the paint's still slick. I also take care to use the wash mitt when I wash the car so I don't strip the wax off. In short...no complaints here.

I have always been Meguirs #1 fan and have used their product for years. I have also been using NXT since it has been released last year and can only say that NXT has been the biggest disappointment ever. It practically washed off with the first or second wash or with a good rain. I have also noticed a big decline in quality in all of Meguirs product. I recently switched to Mothers Reflections and am much happier. I get less streaking and so far the durability is much better.
