Never used it but 3 comments..

1- I never buy anything off tv/web/phone if it's not available in a shop. My logic is there's a reason it isn't available in the shop. It's also based on my experience working for a company that sold things like this.

2- It's all gift packs that are priced very aggressively. It's not like you lose $30 if it doesn't work (i'd be ok just buying his "wonder product" but not a whole set).

3- Whoever wrote the site is a good salesperson with a good knowledge of "pulling" people through the ladder to the sale.

*shrug* not either way just my observations.

OKay something useful then,

I've been using Meguiar's NXT Generation for the past few weeks.

First time I used it I wasn't too impressed, paint had lots of little specs of polish left behind in pits and on bumps.

Decided that it was probably the contamination from shipping that was causing the pit marks so I got some Meguiar's paint cleaner, followed the directions and most of the car came out pretty good, paint felt smooth.

Bonnet was still rough so I gave it another go and it came out better but not perfect.

There was still noticeable swirls in the paint when you up up close.

Since then I've washed and fully polished it about 3 times, paint is now almost swirl free and looks alot cleaner, it seems to be getting better each time I wash it.

Before I started using Meguiar's I used some cheap shit stuff that came in a smallish grey bottle, even when I wasn't impressed with Meguiar's it was ALOT better than the cheaper stuff.

I've done some tests where I polish a section with Meguiar's NXT Gen, the Meguiar's with the big black car on the front and an area with no polish. The polishes definitely make the paint darker (it's black), clearer and look a shitload better. I can't really tell the difference between the two types of Meguiar's though. I find the NXT Gen stuff smells better and doesn't screw with your skin as much.

The NXT gen is ~$48 a bottle and the one with the big black car is about $39. I've completely polished my car about 4-5 times now with the NXT gen stuff and I'd estimate theres about 2/3 of a bottle left. Maybe more because of the weird bottle shape. I used heaps of the cheap shit stuff just to do it once, so spending the extra for Meguiar's is definitely cost effective over the long run in my opinion.

1) Take photo of dirty car with brick walls nearby.

2) Take photo of clean car outside with reflections of sky

3) ???

4) profit!

haha, agreed!

if you haven't heard of it, its probally for a reason.

i use to use the meguiars gold class wax on my car, (its very good) however it doesn't seem to last very long.

i have been using an armoral product lately and it seems to give protection for much longer.

stuffed if i know, asking about polish is like asking about oils.

my advise R34 would be get some and check what results you acheive. its obvious that most people here have not used it.

Thanks

I thought the advertising was a bit of hype too that's why I wanted to find out if someone had tried it

Yes I've tried NXT and it's very good.

Zaino Bros is good too but a bit of a pain to use.

Bowdens own is excellent but lately I've just used the nxt because it's so quick and easy once you have a good surface.

You might want to be careful. Polishing your car is slowly removing the clear coat. Polishing it too much will screw your paint forever.

mate there is no way it could look like that on a factory finish on a 20g paint job then yes

No, its not. Ever seen cars that have been detailed with Zaino Z8 (first pic) or P21S (second pic)? That's the factory paint on a 35th Anniversary 350Z. You could use that bodywork as a shaving mirror.

As long as you're willing to put enough time, effort and skill into it (and I'm talking a couple of days, in the case of that Zaino pic) its not impossible on factory paint.

Phwoarr.. I need to rejuvenate my paint.

Wash, polish, then wax.

Where do I get the Z8 for cheap? That looks gold.

Ok, Im after a good cutting polish for the Stagea when it arrives tommorow, some of the panels are a bit fadded...So should I be looking at say, the Meguires one with the big black car on it? Any advice would be appreciated

No idea in Sydney. I'll have to ask the guy whose car that is, since I think he did it himself. Turns out its not Z8....but that's OK.

The detailing job in the second photo was done by Damian of Final Inspection (in Melbourne), who apparently does sell Zaino.

More pics of the P21S job here.

Pics of the first time he Zaino'ed the car here.

Thanks Scathing - please keep us posted.

I've found Damian on detail paradise forums - I'm posting up as we speak :P

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
