Default waxing the truck for the spring

I'm gonna be waxing the truck tonite since I have a moment of free time. I went to advance auto parts and purchased a wax called Meguiars Liquid Wax: NXT Generation. Has anyone used this wax before ? I got it because my friend that works there told me it was good my original choice was the Meguiars Gold wax. After I finish waxing it I'll be posting up some pics what type of wax have all you guys been using for your Tundra's ? Also anyone know a good site for decals? lookin for some good ones

I have used it, and it works well. It is easy to use, and gives a nice shine.

i did the left side bed so far then it got dark i'm waiting till after dinner then i'll take it to the self serve car was and wax it there lol. But just doing that part hurt my arm. I'm only 19 and I got back and arm problems (thats probably because i never lift with my knees). Anyways I'll probably have some pics up tonite at some point.

I've used that stuff, its not bad. But I prefer either P21S or this stuff from Adams:

Car Wax, Car Polish, Auto Detail Supplies - Buttery Wax - 16oz


Too bad you live on the other side of the state, I'd let you use my "masterpiece", lol!

Sick of washing your ride with cold water?


Here's a pic of my both (mostly 4Runner) of my 'Yotas....waxed with Adams:

NXT looks good, but has little to no durability. NXT 2.0 is one of the best OTC sealants made IMO.

Meguiars is a ggod brand and has been around awhile. I liked it but now am using the Turtle Wax "ICE" which I like better. It goes on in the sunshine and leaves no haze on your black trim. When I put a good coat on for the spring I also like Zaino but it's more expensive.
