Meguiar's NXT Generation Car Wash

I use this car wash every time I wash my car, and I have to say I am utterly impressed every single time. For about $7 in most stores, it's a bargain. Just fill a bucket as per directions, and wash away. Suds last decently long, and they work great at getting built in grime. Brake dust? No problem! Tar? Rub a little with a foam pad and it even seems to help clean that off. Once you're done lathering the soap onto your car, take the pressure nozzles off of your hose and let the water flow freely out of the hose and onto your car, no pressure just normal stream... since you get a huge amount of water per square inch hitting it, it will all run off more evenly and you'll have less dry time.

The Pros:
Good suds, great finish, easy to use!

The Cons:
Claims it's anti-static.. haven't noticed any difference... not much of a con, tho.





P.S. these pictures were taken after washing with dawn, claybarring, and then washing with the Meguiars NXT Car Wash.

I haven't used the NXT car wash (since its impossible @ my apartment complex), but I love the NXT wax......the best I have used so far.

I love when something like that claims anti static, is that a real issue with your cars paint? I rarely have a dryer sheet stuck to my bumper

Haha yeah really. Well supposedly the anti-static stops dust from clinging to the car..

it's marketing (your supposed to touch your car to disipate static when pumping gas aren't you)

i dont know, nothing beats mr clean. it uses wax to wash it. the soap is polymer soap, which is a fancy name for wax. it uses that soap so the water runs off easily for when youre using the autodry stuff, but in doing that it also waxes it. cant beat it.

Well, it cuts through the dried overspray from the Meguiar's tire stuff that I use on my wheels, and that stuff gets pretty nasty so I give it a thumbs up.

Only liquid car wash we carry for Meguiars is this kind at the moment.


I'm gonna try these strips out later in the week to see how they work.

The Meguiars' RX Guide said that the Deep Crystal was the best for my paint for where I live, and with how I wash and care for my car.
