Meguiar's NXT Booster Wax

well...yesterday I took dayoff, went to shopping and when I parked my MINI,
I noticed swirl marks on doors.
I haven't washed/waxed MINI for 3 months.(Last detailing I did was March 23rd.)

So this morning I got up early and started to clean up car, then I thought
I might give NXT Spray Booster Wax a try to check it out.
I had it on my shelf for a while, but I have never seriously thought using Spray Wax before.
One of friends used NXT Spray Booster Wax to Vette, and told me about the product, but I only used it for few times to apply small area.
Anyway I used small applicator(white even coat applicator), spray Booster Wax to applicator then apply to MINI.

I didn't use much(1-2 oz?), it went on really easy. After dry, I used Ultimate Bonnet to wipe off all wax.


Here is my tools.
I used Xenon light to check paint surface, I worked in garage, and it was hard to tell
if surface was smooth or not.
Here is the result.


rear end


driver side door


passenger side door

Meguiar's NXT Booster Wax
hides swirl marks very well. I didn't polish paint at all.
It was really quick & fast job, took less than an hour, but came out pretty good.

I have never seriously thought using spray wax before, but I am very happy with the result.

Glad your swirls are gone! Do you think it was the NXT or the fact that you used a machine?

correct me if I am wrong, as i have never used such a product, but i thought the booster wax was for between waxings, not as a replacment
