VOC regulations are why you have to get M16 from Canada now.

NXT haters probably have black or very dark vehicles and don't like the "saran wrap" appearance. 2.0 is a lot better than the original in that respect. NXT is excellent from a protection and longevity standpoint, if you want extra "pop" after using it, then top it with a pure carnauba. My Arizona Beige looks fine with just NXT 2.0.

Oh, I don't know about any changes in formula, I've still got 7 unopened cans and a partial on the shelf, just hadn't used it in years as I tried other stuffs. Pep Boys used to give a 20% discount to us when we were at training. Last cans I bought was probably 1994 or 95 when I was still using it pretty much to the exclusion of others. I'm sure it's still good.

I've put two coats with a cure between on a police car in fall and seen it go through winter as a police car would and still be beading water in summer. Sure, it picked up a few scuffs, usually hood and trunk, some forehead sweat, etc ... but it beaded water still.

Once had a buddy retire and I wanted his red unmarked Caprice and they let me swap with him, he turned my car in instead. He was a fanatic about LG, he was who started me on it. I don't know how often he did the car with LG but I was determined to wait until it stopped beading to do it ... and two years later I still hadn't done it again and it had the miles so I turned it in. Paint looked great, good shine still, still beading water.

I suspect he did it a few times while he had it.

I'll pay attention to the label next time I see a can on a shelf .... wasn't aware it changed. Looking at webpage, can appears same. Retail $26.95? OUCH .... last I bought was like $16 (minus my discount).

I'm going to research it some .... will get back.

Wow there are alot of LG users on here. I might end up getting NXT for next time. I do know that I am going to purchase a clay bar kit probably tommorow, gotta detail a customers truck. Alot of good responses in this thread.

I am curious as to the clay bar whether it is really worth the time? Is it all that and more to spend the extra $ ?

I will not wax a vehicle without claying it first. Period.

Anything special to it? or is a clay-on, clay-off deal? Then wax-on, wax-off

Always wondered. Never investigated

in one word YES. i just clayed my "07 for the first time. do the plastic baggy test one your truck and you will see what a difference it makes.

I'm gonna get a clay kit while I am out today. I have off first of next week and will have time to give it a whirl.

The detailing sticky has the proper procedure for using clay. It's not "on-off" per se.
