That's exactly the trick with Endurance. Use less of it, make less go farther. Like you said, that requires a bit more elbow grease. That will make it less greasy, but probably still a little bit so. So go back over it with a clean cloth to take away that extra sheen. It'll look great the next day and stay nice for quite a while and after a few washings.
That said, I am not a fan of using it on the tires, either. I always use spray-ons, either Armor All Tire Foam or the Meguiar's product (not sure of the exact name). If you prep the tires first (spray, wash with soapy water and scrub real good with a tire brush, rinse), regular Tire Foam does quite nicely. One I stay away from is Black Magic.
I have been curious about NXT and did some research recently. It gets very lukewarm reviews. I'm going to finish up my bottle of Zymol and then switch over to Zaino Bros. As for rubber and plastic trim, plus the rails/rack, wing, wiper arms and plastic under windshield - I've used the Meguiar's Endurance on that as well with nice results. Same method as described above for cladding. Just keep it off the glass and wiper blades.
Something I just tried and highly recommend is Meguiar's Gold Class Rich Leather Foam Cleaner/Conditioner for the Recaros. WAY better than wipes, works in nicely and it makes them look great without being greasy. I like them to look cleaner and for the color to be richer, but I don't like the wet look, and this stuff gets it done. Some wipes actually seem to DRY OUT the leather and make it LOSE color vibrance.
