NXT or Gold Class?

Danny P · Feb 22, 2006

Which one is best on a new black car to give a good gloss but not to scratch it like super resin does.

Thanks danny

Rich · Feb 22, 2006

If I had to pick one, I'd day NXT, not a fan of either choices so I wouldnt pick either myself.

To be scratching up a car with Super Resin you must be doing something wrong as its a fantastic product.

Here are some pics of my lancia done with Gold Class:

Looks stunning, makes the red really deep - unfortunately she is going on Friday and Im going to buy a ClioSport to save myself some money for a while

NXT over Gold Class...

I've never had any problems with AG Super Resin on both of my two black cars...it is very very easy to apply and polish to a shine.

Check out P21-S carnuba wax from: http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/

Megs #16 mirror glaze is also very good..

Autoglym Super Resin and Extra Gloss on Black

Mine looks like that right now tucked up in the garage...^^

TomS · Feb 22, 2006

Not tried NXT but Gold Class has been so impressive im sticking

Alan · Feb 22, 2006

Rich do you have any swirl marks on your car or is it totally perfect?

TomS · Feb 22, 2006

Pretty sure most cars will have some swirls from cleaning.... unless pc'd regularly!

Danny P · Feb 22, 2006

I used to paint cars 10 years ago so I know what im doing. I think that the super resins mildly abrasive action slightly scratches the paint. R-jay what would you use on this car to get a top result http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/1696/p1010998new6cc.jpg

ps which is your favorite as you said you dont like nxt or gold class

It has a few minor marks to deal with, as I have not used a cutting pad on it yet, waiting for its first Birthday (1st March) before it gest its first real machine polish. Something I only want to do once a year.

Mine doesnt... In the garage but a bit mucky!

fizzy_drink · Feb 22, 2006

WOW!

Love the AG results you've got there Rich.

It looks fantastic, and lasts a long time too!

NXT gives the same visible results... but only lasts a week (or less!), and gives very little protection IMO.

I've used both NXT and gold class... I've always like NXT more - easier to apply and remove IMO.

I've found the gold-class to be a bit sticky.... so there's danger of being too forceful when buffing-off, causing swirls.

fizzy_drink · Feb 22, 2006

Oh... are you PCing my car or what?

williams-ant · Feb 22, 2006

In the past I have used a product called 3M Handglaze to get rid of swirl marks and glaze, its hard work but the finish from this product is incredible

You working by hand or machine ?

I actually Prefer Super Resin and Extra Gloss over both NXT and Gold Glass.

Super resin is *very* mildly abbrasive, but tests have shown by hand it removes no clearcoat. Applied correctly I have never seen it put in marks. The AG paint renovator however does.

TomS · Feb 22, 2006

I have just realised we are talking about wax and not shampoo

Reminder not to post after work

It wont remove them, it will only fill and hide them. Like you say is very hard work, are easier options to do the same job.

Anything looks good over correct paint prep, its not what you use, but how you use it and how well the paint is prepared.

I found that with Gold Class to, supposed to be reformulated to sort that now though.

fizzy_drink · Feb 22, 2006

I had the car beautifully waxed yesterday... so that I could take pics.

Guess what? My trip to southampton and back has turned it into a sh*tbox again, lol!

Grrrr!

Apply it with a foam hand pad on clean well washed paint and remove with a good microfiber cloth and results should be A1. It needs reasonable pressure to do it's job, no need to push on the pad really hard though. Nice and thin coats to avoid dusting.

Bloody weather!

Alan · Feb 22, 2006

Carry on old son...if the weather is good over the week end mine will be, washed, dried, super resin', then finished with extra gloss...then maybe some #16, then i'll pass round the sick buckets to my neighbours....

Danny P · Feb 22, 2006

I must get a foam hand pad then. I've been using mutton cloth.

Alan · Feb 22, 2006

Danny i find these terry applicator pads very very good, the foam pads are quite harsh...the only thing i use them for is applying tyre gel...

£2 for two of the terry applicator pads from:http://www.seriousperformance.co.uk/sp/products/sponges.php

You can't go wrong...

Danny P · Feb 22, 2006

thanks mate

Rich · Feb 22, 2006

The opposite to Alan, I find the Megiuars yellow hand pads ideal, where as the terry applictor pads work well, but soak up and waste alot of product.

Different people get on better with different products and process.

Ali · Feb 22, 2006

You's two need to get laid! ASAP!

TomS · Feb 22, 2006

love you both

Off topic here m8, but that last picture is just awesome. It would sit next to my Evo 6 RS Sprint in the 'rally corner' of my Dream Garage..... :approve:

I've had a few conversations with WD PRO regarding the nxt vs gold class topic! He in the past has emailed one of the guys on the meg's forum regarding the two, resulting in him sticking to the gold class. However ive always used nxt and found it more than good enough. he now however after using nxt himself also agrees that there is nothing in it what so ever other than a price difference! Id rather pocket the diff and have a similar result!

I'm doing the same b**ch....depending on weather of course. Better be mild and sunny!

Rich · Feb 24, 2006

The main problem for me with both NXT and the Gold Glass is neither are that easy to use. There are lots of products especially working by hand that go on and off a lot easier.

Alan · Feb 24, 2006

I find NXT very easy to put on and buff off? Tho i hated Gold Glass, very hard to work indeed...

I must buy some P21 carnuba soon too...

kiza1986 · Feb 24, 2006

You just washed and AG'd in that pic rich??? looks mint mate...
