I've used the Tech Wax 2.0 before. It makes for a nice shine right after you apply it, but after about 3 days it starts to fade. I've never used Gold Class though... I'm about to pick me up some Nattys Blue :biggthumpup:

i used tech wax 2.0, this might sound stupid but isn't tech wax a lot more expensive than the gold class and they're made by the same company? i would expect the tech wax then to be better....

There are much better choices :D.

Gold class is a Carnuba wax. Tech wax is synthetic.

tech is easy to apply and remove. Not sure which gives longer protection.

Don question was which of two is better if you had to pick what would you take?

Well they are both good. I've used both in the past before I discovered high end detailing supplies like Menzerna, Pinnacle, etc.

The Gold Class is a decent was to top a coat of sealant with. It'll bring out more of the shine, however, it's not very durable. It'll last about a month or so before I'd recommend reapplying.

The NXT is interesting. It actually does a similar job to a sealant and a wax combined. It has the durability of a sealant and pretty good shine for what it is. However, they don't recommend you put NXT over any other sealant or wax. Not exactly sure why.

I use techwax 2.0 also it's like what gameboy over here said... it looks good right after your done applying it.. then 1 or 2 days later its gone and your car is dirty again. I'm getting new detailing stuff for this spring.. there are far better choices than maguiar's.

Poorboys World Natty's Blue Paste Wax for $19.99 (I personally use this on my '09 G)

P21S Pure Carnauba Wax $49.99

Also, Migliore Original Blend wax $29.99 (which I believe BlackJack has used on his G when he doesn't use Natty's Blue). www.migliorewax.com

Check out www.detailedimage.com and click on waxes. Lots of good options there too.

Hope this helps! :thewave:
