I like to use meguiars products like gold class or nxt 2.0 for a wax. I use their detailer/pro line products when working with a paint that need to be reconditioned(sp), swirls removed, heavy oxidation, general paint care using a poter cable like buffer, great results and easy to use.

I've always used Zaino and have had great results.

I have several different brands/products that I use.

Zaino is by far my favorite stuff.. Well worth whatever you have to spend on it. Their polishes are absolutely amazing.

I also use some of the Turtlewax ICE products. The detailer spray and car wash soap are great, and also leave great results. The Turtlewax chrome wheel cleaner works great too.

Mothers/Meguiars 3-Step process work good, and I'm usually stocked up on them. Very inexpensive, but leave good results. I also use the Mothers claybar.

I use Black Magics vynal protectant and their foam tireshine.


I know I'm missing a few things, but I like to keep trying new products and see how they compare to other stuff. Zaino is by far my favorite stuff to use though.

Mothers - Like their metal polish
Meguiars - Pro line of "compounds" ie. Fine Cut Cleaner, Swirl Remover
Surf City - They have a matte shine tire dressing I really like.
Zaino - polish (though I mostly use meguairs #26)

Ditto. Made the switch, won't go back. Unless I'm using my PC7424. THen it's a combination of Zaino ZPC and Menzerna IP/FP.

Meguiars NXT & Gold Class waxes. NXT is easy on/easy off, but doesn't last that long. Smells nice though.
Meguiars Meduim Cut Cleaner for scratches. Liquid sandpaper basically.
3M hand glaze for something quick between waxes.
Zaino Leather Conditioner & cleaner. Only stuff I've found that has that leather smell, lasts awhile & doesn't make the seats slippery like almost all the other leather care products out there.
Turtle wax Chrome Polish. Works AWESOME on wheels and exhaust tips!
303 Aerospace protectant . For interior plastic & tires. Doesn't have that shiny "armor all" look and lasts forever on tires . Had to go to a boat dealer to buy it.
Stoner invisable glass . Self explanatory. Works great!
Meguirs Quick Detailer, works good between washes.
Eagle 1 Tire shine. If I want that shiny tire look, I use this.

I dont use that on my car because I have cloth seats, but I use it on other peoples cars though that have leather seats :laugh:. That stuff works great.

I'd be careful with armor all stuff on the interior, I've heard it dries up the leather/plastic pretty bad

I heard that too, but then I've also heard they have a new formula now.

Did not know that, I'd watch out with it regardless

Yes, they work good in the sense that they make everything shiny, but DO NOT use them on the steering wheel/shifter area as it will be WAYYY too slick

These two products do work great! Stoner also has a product called More Shine that works great on tires. One coat = matte finish, Two coats = high gloss finsh.

You can now get all of this at your local NAPA store. Here are the part numbers.

303 - PN 30340
Invisible Glass - PN 91164
More Shine - PN 91044

For the price/ease of availability, I'm a pretty big fan of the meguiars 3 step and NXT wax.

I had heard that NAPA carried the 303 stuff, but the last time I went in and asked, they had no idea what I was talking about .

:frustrated::frustrated:That is what frustrates me about most of our stores being independent. Just give them the part number 30340 and have them order you some. It's in their warehouse and if not it's in our Master Warehouse here in Indy.

Sorry about that.

I love the part numbers...even though I do not have the numbers but I use 3M products for buffing and then maguires #26 for wax. The newer Tech II wax is pretty good too...the first Tech wax is shit!
