Meguiars NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0

zod

Just tried buying this wax off an ebay seller .. deal fell through

Anyone got a reliable (cheap ) source ?

Pretty sure I've seen this in Halfords...

whatthe...

Yep, Halfrauds do it.....the whole Meguairs range in fact.

After using Autoglym for years I recently converted to this brand after hearing other forums rave about its quality. Another satisfied customer, me. :cool:

2.0 isnt in Halfords yet, not my local one anyway. I am going to pick it up myself if i come across it out of interest, seems to be a big improvement over 1.0, but that wouldn't be difficult

There is no NXT 2 in the republic yet AFAIK, I rang the distributer last week & I was told that they have plenty of the original in stock still & won't be getting the NXT 2 until this is gone

Dont think this guy has the 2.0 stuff yet, but i have bought of him before and found it much cheaper than in shops here:
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Holdcrofts

EDIT - just actually noticed that this dude has 'no internation postage' on some of his listings now,
so not 100% if he'll still send stuff over here. I'll send an emailing asking and report back.

2nd EDIT - Ok this seller, at least for now, can only post to UK addresses as they had some issues with oversea postage.
I reckon it was because they werent charging enough, i got the 473ml of car shampoo & conditioner, and the 473ml of Gold Class
wax [recommended, great stuff] for the combined cost of £3 str, i think you'll agree that seems a tad underpriced.

Just got the reply

"hi £4.95 air mail
thanks for your enquiry
regards garry
GQ TRADING COMPANY"

£14.99 + £4.95 = £19.94 about €25 according to xe.com but probally a bit more as paypal seem to use a different rate

How good is the Harley wax?
This guy seems convinced of it's properties, but then again, he is selling the stuff....

Thats who I bought it from.
Now
I use it on a Black car so maybe it looks better to me but I simply adore the finish once i use it :cool:

I am deffo gonna get more of it.
My only problem is I live next to a Rugby Pitch which has a limestone driveway and the dust here is just incredible, It appears to "Stick" to the wax.
BUT

I love the Beading effect when it rains :cool:

Matter of choice I would think.

Is €25 any cheaper than it would be in the shops here?
OK, i know this stuff isnt in the shops here yet, but when it is, will it exceed €25?

The stuff costs 16 Stg in the UK so it is not going to be more than 25 EUR here.

And even though Stonglines (Megs Irish Dist) may not be bringing it in till they are shot of the old stuff, I would say Halfords stock comes from their UK channels and not via Irish operations. They never were too big on stocking Megs gear anyway so they may or may not have it in the near future. Halfords generally only stock products (give floor space) to manufacturers that are prepared to give them 6 to 12 months credit, so that is why alot of the stuff they sell is mostly pants. After all you would want to be pretty desperate for market share to give in to those kind of terms. I know where most high-end product manufacturers would tell them to go.

Anyway, back on Megs NXT Tech Wax 2.0, don't put it on a pedestal or anything. The bigger the manufacturer and especially American ones, the more hype that tends to surround their products. As mentioned above the earlier version was generic enough so nothing special. I can think of many others brands that do better stuff for less.
