I'm a little partial to Meguiars and I was wondering what others might use or recommend?

Thanks.

 

I've been using Freedom waterless wash and Optimum No-Rinse wash for moderately dirty car. When my car is really dirty, I spray it down really well and then use the No-Rinse wash. I've bought Meguiar's NXT detailing spray, Klasse AIO and Sealant, and a few Pinnacle products, but I haven't used them yet to give a proper review.

I do like the Optimum No-Rinse though. It works very well and you save water and Mother Earth at the same time.

 

Meguiars are fine. Many coat the paint and rims w/ Rejex - a bit easier to apply and works great.

For leather interior I like Sonus leather conditioner. Applied lightly protects the interior and does not leave it shiny. Great product!

I use Sniffer Dusters to (very easily) clean brake dust, especially inside rims.

 

+1 on Optimum No-Rinse. Lightly dirty or not. It has to be extremely dirty and caked in to require conventional wash. No-Rinse is fabulous.

 

Malms Extreme Wax and CR Spotless.The soap and the rest is all over the counter cheap ****. Its that final step that I spend the money on.

 

I use Meguire's for washing, and many of the Zaino products for paint and wheel protection. Zaino is also pretty good for glass and leather protection.

 

You could try what my father-in-law does. When it rains he takes his car outside and scrubs it with the same broom he uses to sweep the garage floor.

 

Um, does he have any swirl marks

Another for ONR and for the interior I like Einzett Cockpit Premium.

For the OP:
Exterior polish preference is Menzerna and Einzett makes a very nice, easy to apply wax--Glans. Stoner's Invisible Glass is a good glass cleaner. Tire dressing, right now I'm using Swisswax Pneu, but I also like 303.

Detailer's Domain (a site sponsor) is a great source for many products and they have terrific customer service as well

I let uzj100 polish it for me, and then I wax it with Harly wax. Have used it on my last 3 Porsches since 1977. http://harlywax.com/HarlyWax/

 

ONR since the birth of my car. I have used it for 3 months and my car's shine hasn't degraded a bit!

 

I've been using Zaino products for 10 years now and have always been impressed with the results. Go to the customer testimonial page and read what others say.
I buy all the cloth products from Griots Garage

I used ONR all winter in the garage, and it works great. I mixed up a spray bottle according to directions for quick fixes as well.

Now that the weather is better I will use more suds on the driveway.

Wheels are a bit of an issue. I wash the 911 wheels every week, so they are pristine, but I have an older ML500 which has not really had its wheels detailed all winter. I tried Meguire's for all metal wheels and it seems to work well. Anything better?

 

P21S Soap
Jeff Werkstatt's Prime and Acrylic Jet
P21S Carnuaba Wax

 

Have you tried P21S Wheel Gel?

The 3M product (link below) gets rid of tar etc, if you have some hard to remove substances on your wheels.
