I've read this thread and some others and would be interested in your opinion of Meguiar's M26 High Tech Yellow Wax vs Nxt2.0.
Happy to help.


M26 and NXT 2.0 are very different products. M26 is a premium carnauba blend that also contains some polymers to help with application/removal and longevity of the product. NXT and its counterpart on the pro side, M21 Synthetic Sealant, are fully synthetic products that can also be called sealants if you prefer. As such they'll last longer than traditional carnauba waxes but the final appearance can be a bit different. Many perceive synthetics as leaving a more "plasticy" looking shine whereas carnaubas give a deeper, wetter look. That sort of "plasticy" look - I prefer to call it a bright, crisp shine - can be a real benefit to lighter colors like silver and white that just can't give you the depth of color found in dark blues, reds, blacks, etc. So while some say you should use a carnauba on dark colors and a synthetic on light colors, a lot of it comes down to personal preference. Heck, some folks even like to put the M26 on top of the M21. I've been guilty of that myself on more than one occassion.
