So many great products out there, here are my recommendations. These have all been around for a long time and have stood up well for me. I own a few detail shops and have great shots of all of these in action but I don't want to clutter this thread with those. If anyone is interested in that or has any questions just PM me, I'm happy to help out.

High Quality Microfiber Towels (Rag Company and Microfiber Tech)
Adams Car Shampoo
Nextzett Cockpit Premium (interior cleaner)
Swissvax Autobahn (wheel wax)
Sonax Polymer Netshield (paint sealant)

I use many Adams products, including microfiber towels, air cannon, and really love them. I used to exclusively use Zaino, but switched 10 years ago and never looked back (except for their leather care, which I still use and love). The Adams 110% makes it easy and their customer service is second to none!!

Great thread - it is always interesting to see what others are using.

Here are a number of products that I find essential to my car washing routine.

1. 3 buckets with grit guards (one bucket for the wheels and tires) and the other two for traditional 2 bucket wash
2. Adams Shampoo
3. Numerous micro fiber wash mitts (can't recall the brand)
4. Gilmour Cleaning Sprayer Foamaster II
5. Metro Air Force Master Blaster
6. Adams Detail Spray.
7. Uber super plus microfiber drying towel
8. Nextzett cockpit premium (been using this from back in the days when they were Einszett)

Funny, I use much of the same stuff, except I have the Adams air cannon instead of the master blaster. Regarding #8, I still have and use a bottle of the Einszatt cockpit premium (mostly switched to Adams interior detailer) and Einszatt Anti-Insekt bug/tar remover. All great products for sure!! I have an upgraded Adams foam gun but have always wanted to get the foam cannon, but not sure about going through the whole pressure washer thing......

I just picked up a about 60 bottles of different Adam's products this past weekend. They had a tent sale at their location in Anaheim, Ca. Spoke with the man behind the bottles, Mr. Adam! He was very nice gentleman. We had a really great conversation about Porsches, as I informed him the 992 was my first Porsche. He was very excited for me. He then asked to exchange contact info. Very nice guy and their products are excellent! I purchased the Foam gun as well, used it with the Car Shampoo and the outcome was amazing. I have about 10 other products I picked up that I still need to try. Perhaps in a couple weeks. Here's some pictures of my purchases and the outcome of using just the Adams car shampoo, tire shine and microfiber towels.

If your car is PPF'ed and ceramic coated, will spraying it with the Adam's foam gun and then rinsing it get it clean or do you still have to scrub down the whole car?
