Default Quick Meguiars Tech Wax Question.

Hey all,

I want to buy some Meguiars NXT tech wax, However...

It is available in a bottle and as a paste in a tin.

Which is better and why?

No "buy Swissol" replys please,

Bit of spit and polish and some elbow grease works well

I would buy the paste as have tried the spray (not megs thought) and it always invariably gets blocked at the nozzle and end up wasting it !
Probably use the paste a little more sparingly than a spray !

The bottle is not a spray mate, its just a liquid rather than a paste.

Thanks for your input though

D'oh should of realised that ! Got enough of the megs stuff - but not tried the tech stuff yet !
Its personal preferance to be honest ! But have had the nozzle bunged up of my meg scratch x in liquid form !
Really should stay away from the booze!

TexWax is great stuff, no doubt.

I've got the bottle.

The end does get gunked up and can block, but is easy to clean off.

tech wax is better than the normal meguiars stuff but personally i use poorboys ex , loads easier to work with in direct sunlight(doesnt ever smear on hot surfaces) same results if not better than techwax.

With years (many) experience of cleaning and waxing cars, I find the NXT as good as anything I've used, and better than AutoGlym. No dust is a good thing too.
I use the Clearcote Scrub first, then NXT from the bottle. When this lot runs out I'll try the paste.

Got the NXT Tech wax in a bottle too - came with an applicator pad too which makes it really easy to put on.
