I also have the diamond white pearl. What I noticed with the NXT 2.0 is when the sun hits the flares on the fenders, the pearl specs in the paint sparkle like a diamond. Guess thats why they call it diamond white pearl. I'm very happy with the NXT 2.0, but I will keep my eyes open to see if any of the auto parts stores around here carry the Meguair's #21 or Xymol. Always open to trying a new product.

 

So no one here ever tried Zaino line of car care products? or Tropi-Care?

I have been using Zaino for 10+ years. I am a hopeless Zainoholic.

Also recently started using Tropi-Care and achieved great results on my GTO and wife's Audi A4.

The Audi was replaced by an Outie. I haven't applied any waxes to the Outie yet.

 

I used collinite 486 and the results are incredible. It is one the best waxes available. Few waxes last longer. Few waxes give a deeper shine. None do both as well as collinite. The price is nice tooat 15$ a can. This wax is compared to Zaino for durability which sells for like 60$. If you want more info, go see the auto detailing forum that all the experts go to Autopia. For the interior, I use Optimum Leather Protectant. It is one of the top dash protectors with 303. Don't forget to use the two bucket method and never use a mit or towel that has fallen on the ground.

 

I always wanted to try Collinite, a lot of people swear by it.

Zaino is not $60 by the way You can get the two basic components for ~$40. But I usually do get additional things like the car wash, detail spray, leather cleaner, leather conditioner, tire gloss, clay bar so it all adds up. But it is worth it.

Tropi-Care is a newer player in the market, but is quite good as well. Tropi-Care also sells very nice microfiber drying towels, polishing towels, etc. Not all microfiber rags are the same. I wouldn't use department-store-bought microfiber on my cars.


Oh, another great product for leather - Connoly Hide Food - available at your Jaguar dealer. Jaguar people sure know their leathers.
