Default Vivid Black Owners

I've read posts from members recommending this wax and that wax and, honestly, I've tried just about all of them. However, in my opinion, for ease of application, removal, and shine the Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0 is the clear winner. I'm not saying the others didn't work as advertised, I'm just saying the Meguiar's equalled or surpassed the others with a lot less work. The price ($16.95) is fair compared to the others. If you want your Vivid Black to be "vivid" you might want to consider this.

I use Carolina Liquid Glass. It is like the Karate Kid, 'wax on, wax off' and the shine is awesome with no swirls.

I tried the Meguiar's NTX stuff & really liked it too! However after several applications (yes, I wax my bike way too much) the bike had a milky or cloudy haze to it. Ended up claying, polishing & re-waxing with my old favorite Mothers California Gold Carnauba Wax. Not quite as "slick" or shiny but no haze either.

I agree - Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0 is great stuff. Use it on bike & auto's and it makes them shiny & slippery.

Thanks for the endorsement but I'll stick with Pledge. Works great for me and my bike is plenty "vivid" with it. I'm serious. Thanks anyway.

+1 Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0 only used it once so far and really liked it.

I did a coat of Nu Finish 3 years ago and used Lemon Pledge ever since.

I've used the NXT for about 5 years on my black Chevy 4x4 and my bike. Great quality wax and never had a complaint. I will be trying Pledge on my bike though...that's almost too easy.
