Well folks, after having tried several different combinations on my black G35 Coupe, I have arrived at a place I would have never thought possible several months ago.
I began by using Zaino on my baby. I didn't really have anything against it, I just wanted to try something different. So, I switched to the Klasse twins. However, with no Z5 equivalent, I had to worry about swirls and such. So, I stripped the Klasse off and polished vigorously with 1ZPP. I thought everything was going to be fine. I applied the AIO and SG, and even topped it with Souveran. It looked great in the garage. When I got it out in the light, there were several spots/areas that appeared cloudy, or hazy. So, I went back and applied the 1ZPP even more vigorously with a PC, and a cutting pad. I let the stuff dry for several hours (probably 15) as I didn't have time to buff it off before then.
I then came to a crossroads. I knew that if I went back with the Klasse, I would encounter the same problem of swirling, with no way to remove it other than re-polish. So I started looking around my garage and came across my half-used bottle of NXT. I remembered back to the threads I had seen on here of it's mild cleaning abilities and thought, hey, maybe that will help in removing water spots and such.
So, I went ahead and NXT'd the whole thing, after having wiped off the 1ZPP. The results blew me away. The ease of use and wet-look, slick finish were second to none I had personally encountered. I know the durability of the NXT isn't as long as the Klasse or Zaino, but when it takes all of an hour at most to do the whole car, I don't mind doing it even twice a month.
As an added bonus, the NXT car wash is very nice. It has a very high lubricity and cleans very well. Plus, I can maintain it with the spray on booster wax. Call me crazy, but I really enjoy this new Meguiar's NXT.
