Mirror glaze synthetic sealant 2.0. Wondering about ease of application/durability. Thanks!
Anyone try Meguiars #21?

I used it long ago. I wouldn't recommend it for hand use -- very difficult to buff off, and the gloss wasn't that remarkable.
It's possible they've updated the formula, but there are so many great off-the-shelf sealants that I see no compelling reason to use it.

IIRC, NXT is basically Megs 21 for the consumer market. That was what the word was when it came first came out.

Interesting. The NXT spray wax is great -- easy application, easy removal. Doesn't last forever, but I find that it's sufficient for when I'm in a hurry, or for adding extra protection before a road trip.

I used #21 on my black C5 Corvette for a while and I liked it a lot. I found it buffed off easily and lasted a long time, definitely longer than NXT. I think NXT 2.0 and #21 are pretty similar, I've heard that #21 is formulated better to work with high speed buffers, as it's more of a commercial product that detailing shops use (and most detailing shops apply their polishes with a high speed buffer to get the job done much quicker)
Awesome stuff in my experience. Lasts a long time. I recently tried ultimate wax and I like it a bit better.
As the others have said, it is basically a pro-version of NXT, which is not known for longevity.
I highly recommend Menzerna PowerLock or Blackfire Wet Diamond. The Menzerna sealant is a bit on the oily side and does fill, but it is very chemical resistant and is ridiculously easy to apply/remove as long as you do the proper de-contamination beforehand. Blackfire seems to make metallic flakes "pop" a bit better, but does not go on as smoothly as PowerLock since it is not as oily.
