NXT Spray Wax
I used Meguiar's NXT Spray wax today. It is supposed to be used as a booster between waxing, and I must say it was a real PITA. It went on very easily, but taking it off was really tough. A regular wax job with paste NXT takes about 1/2 the time. I'm going to try it 1 more time after my next wash and if I still don't like it I'll send it back for a refund. As a side note, using NXT Speed Detailer really helped in taking the spray wax off, plus it works very well on its own so the speed detailer is a keeper. I also am satisfied with the NXT All Metal Polish. I bought a lot of the NXT line (paste wax, spray wax, speed detailer, metal polish) and have been very pleased with it overall.
I had the same PITA problem getting that stuff off yesterday and it was harder to get off than any paste carnuba I have ever used. I usually do the whole car with the regular NXT before I take it off since it's so easy and tried the same thing with the spray booster wax...big mistake! Took me over an hour to get it off and if I ever do it again, I'll use the orbital.
It does however give a much deeper look than the regular NXT alone, so I'm pretty sure this stuff contains either very little, or no cleaners and is a wax only. Why else would it be that hard to get off? It's not just a spray version of the primary product. I am assuming it will no doubt last longer that NXT alone.

Did you let it dry completely?
The first time I tried the spray booster I took it off shortly after application and thought it was a little too labor intensive.
The 2nd time I let it haze over completely it was super-easy to use.
On the Meguiar's board they say that low outdoor tempuratures make it harder to remove.

It seemed like the longer I let it dry, the harder it became to remove. I also tried applying it to my car wet a few days ago when I washed it and that also turned out horrible. Big thumbs down to this product; Meguiar's generally doesn't disapoint me, but it sure has here. The bottle is getting sent back for a refund.

I've had good luck with the Booster - but I think the Wax-As-You-Dry product is easier to use. I liked the feel and shine better with the NXT.
The Booster + wet car thing didn't work out for me at all either. Applying it was a biotch and taking it off was hard too.
Best results were just using a foam applicator - doing the whole car at once - letting it slightly haze over and then remove w/microfiber towels.
I want to try the new #21 polymer sealant and see how it works.

I've heard the same thing. I guess I'll try it.
When I tried it it was in the low 70's and the car was neither very hot or cold. I let it dry completely and the longer you wait, the harder it is to get off. On the hotter, black area around the window, it's almost impossible to get off without wetting it with detail spray.
I mentioned that I thought since it was hard to get off, it would last longer. Not true. After it's 3rd wash the water stopped beading, which is similar to the liquid tech wax alone.
I may just stick to the tech wax and a good carnuba combo.
