Default what detailing products do you use?

I was wondering on what types of brands you use?

I use meguires nxt soap, dupont teflon car wax, armor all for the tires, and meguires quick interior detailer for the interior.

So what I want to know is what brands you use for everything from claybar to interior. Every product thats ever touched your car because I want to completly detail my car tomarrow and want to use the best. Thanks

all the mothers products are very good and all of the meguires products (in my opinion) are a bit better. that should answer your question---except maybe tire shine--i have used the spray on stuff and dont find it to do so great but the black magic rub on works real well it comes with a foam aplicator and a bottle of gel I like it but many are good

My car is not a show queen, but I do try to keep her clean. Hey that rhymes

I use Meguires NXT soap
dry her off with an Absorber
if it's time to wax Meguires NXT Tech Wax
tires get some Son of a Gun
a couple times a year I hit the leather with Meguires Gold Class Leather stuff
I dont put anything on the plastic parts of the interior, I do wipe it down with a microfiber cloth. It picks up all the dust. I don't like the greasy look on my dash.

I really don't have the patience to detail my car. It's my DD and I hate to get it all clean just to have it rain 2 days later or a bird to come along and bomb it.

Sonus...but check out the new issue of Consumer Reports, write up on wax. These are all "over the counter" brands but I was surprised to see the resaults.
