I just got another order in from ADS today, got some leather conditioner and a few other things I was low on. I suggest you get the APC (All Purpose Cleaner). I got a gallon a while back and dilute 4:1 and use it for cleaning everything. I even used it on some bad grease stains at my father's house on his carpet, the August special has it with an upholstery brush that velcros on to the G110. Works great! I've got several of the tote bags, I usually keep one in the HHR with a few microfiber towels for drying the car along with some detailer. I think Meguiar's doesn't want to be in the retail arena, which is why we can get such good deals from places like ADS.

The only problem I've had with NXT 2.0 was on the black part of the HHR in the desert heat in the sun when the surface temp was up around 180 degrees. I use #26 on it but do like NXT 2.0 on my white and orange S-10 and am also using it on a silver Lincoln with very good results.

In the extreme heat it got oily and would smear. They said I was using too much but I was applying it just like Mike did, in fact I may have had it thinner. I still have it on the red part of my HHR with no problem, it's just the black part in the sun in the desert heat caused the problem. A guy in Arizona was getting similar results when we were getting the 118 degree heat earlier this year, and his was also in the sun on a black car. Otherwise it looks and works great.

I continue to be impressed with Mike and Auto Detailing Supplies.
26 hours after placing an on-line order, my stuff arrived via UPS.
I had asked about the microfiber car dusters, and he called me to say that
they were out-of-stock, but would contact me when the new supply arrived.
WOW....a vendor actually called me....
Makes me wish I had ordered the DA Polisher from him.
Thanks again to Leon for the referral.

I just completed some of the relatives cars/trucks in Indiana. Did the clay bar then the NXT. It will be an interesting test for winter durability.....snow, ice, slush. ice.
The key to successful application is, indeed, several light coats at least 12 hours apart.
