Buy a bottle of Meguir's ultimate quick detailer and a california duster. Use the duster everyday lightly and the quick detailer and a microfiber cloth every couple of days and it will make your car look like it was just washed for a few weeks.

I went ahead and simply did some armor all with turtle wax, looked great. Question though, I used rainx on the windows and it left some bad streaking for a good couple days. Also i used windex on the inside windows and also streaking. Is this something with the tint? Also got some black wet on my treads and suffered some traction loss

You won't find quality detail items at Wallyworld....!

I use Adams detail spray and micro towels for a quickie. (women hate those)
For wax I use only Zymol concourse wax and micro towels, both item are
available on line or at California Car Cover....Northridge, Ca. Tires, Meguiar's
Endurance high gloss....you'll need a good applicator (PepBoys) Good Luck
there's hundereds of items available to keep your G looking good....those
listed are what I use....

I hope you didn't use windex on the tint unless it was ammonia free. Windex has ammonia and will damage your tint. The tire wet should come off the treads within a few miles.

I've used both versions of the NXT and I can say that they seem to last about the same amount of time. The first version seemed like it was easier to work with, but I like them both.

FYI, cleaner wax does nothing to remove swirls. Polishing (not waxing) is the only thing that removes swirls.
