NXT Wax by Meguiars
I bought a NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 at a local advanceautoparts for 20$ but today I just went to walmart to do some shopping and saw the NXT Generation Tech Wax w/o the 2.0 for only 5$ lol.
What is the difference between the 2?? I plan on stocking my garage with some more if you guys think it's worth it. haha
Here's the picture
The picture is probably small, sorry took it from a crap phone, but if you guys want a better picture let me know and I'll retake it.

I've used both and find that, the NXT 2 was notably longer lasting than the NXT. These products do have a shelf life and I don't think the NXT product has been in production for a number of years so even at $5 it could be problematic.
That said, they now have better products for protecting paint. Before spending $20 on NXT 2.0 I'd suggest looking for their Ultimate Liquid Wax. This product looks great and lasts a lot longer than the NXT line. I've also seen it selling for around $20. It can be applied in the full sun and it doesn't stain trim. You can use it on exterior vinyl trim and it looks as good and lasts longer than most dedicated vinyl products. It won't run down the side of your car in the rain like some dedicated trim products will.
So this one product can do the work of two... or even three products if you consider that ULW works on glass too, leaving a RainX like coating that sheds water without your wipers running at anything over around 25 mph.

NXT and NXT 2.0 are different formulations. Don't remember much detail about it but I used both when they were out. NXT 2.0 had better protection/sheeting/beading qualities than the original version did. It is nothing to do with the steps to apply it with. However, if you do purchase the original, it makes for a great candle
