God dam that R/T is sexy. Nice job. I wish I could make my truck look like that. I hate winter in canada, right after you wash it, it gets dirty in 5min. What kind of wax and tire dressing do you use?

Thanks guys. Used Meguiars NXT tech wax for the quad and the car (which is 14 years old by the way), and Meguiars Gold Class on the black R/T. The Tire dressing is the Meguiars High Gloss Gel. It lasts a long time, and is water proof.

Do you notice a difference between the NXT tech wax and the Gold Class. I have the NXT stuff. Works pretty good. Just curious about the Gold Class stuff

The NXT is great stuff. The old gold class cant really stand up to the NXT for a few main reasons. First, the NXT has synthetic polymer technology, so it lasts for a lot longer. Secondly the NXT is virtually dust free when wiping it up, where as the old gold class formula makes all kinds of dust. However, the Gold Class' shine appears to be deeper and more wet looking on the black than the NXT.

Now, I just saw not too long ago, theres a new Gold Class formula, with synthetic polymer Technology. I havent tried it, but if it can last as long as the NXT, without the dust, while still retaining the depth and wet look of the original Gold class formula, thats probably the best stuff on the market.

Alright, thanks. Also, what kind of NXT do you use? I have the Wax with the applicator pad, but i've also seen it in liquid form.

I used the liquid, but I just ran out. Now I have the paste. Ive been a paste user for years, but after noticing that the paste in the cans pick up the contaminents (just look in your paste) and could cause the possibility of scratching the paint, I prefer the liquid.

Also, take a scrub brush and scrub the inside of all your fenders, then let them air out, and then spray black magic on them, then let the black magic dry, and yoll have black fender wells that look brand new.
