They're all good for different times/needs.

There was one thread, and I'm not going to search for it, where you posted the same thing like six posts in a row.
So...
PS - thanks for your service to our country.
It gives us the freedom to come here and act like a-holes.
That is posted in all seriousness.

ScionTcYa is a chode... the pics with "1 squirter".. take a better look at the zoom and youll realize the the squirter that appears on the "center" of the hood is the driver side squirter. Theres alot more hood to see on the car.
Quit being a douche and criticizing everything everyone posts.

I wonder if the OP even bothers with this thread anymore... but if so, did you use NXT2.0 or the original version?

actually I have used Klasse many times an d still have some as well most other stuff such as Zymol, Tropic-Care, Shining Monkey etc.....and Klasse is ok BUT WAY over priced and not as easy as some others to use...LOOK out I am gonna spam here...Turbowax seems to work the best for me and it is reasonable compared to some of the other mentionedf..now thaqt is my opininon and oh BTW I have been detailing, customizing, and restoring cars longer than some of you have been driving or living

I understand that this might not have been a professional detail and just for a friend or something. But I would always take precautions so you don't have spend more time redressing trim and or having to worry about burning the trim (if you're using a machine).
