What do you guys use to detail your car with?
 
question is pretty straight forward, with the ever growing market of detailing products what do you use to detail your car? mothers, zymol, turtle, something else?

I used Zymol for years and recently gave AMMO a try, very surprised at how awesome it is, easy to use and leaves your car looking like new every time!

Optimum Opti-Coat 2.0, one time permanent wax, looks better than anything on the market.

I use products from Meguiars after using Turtle for a while and i've never looked back.

on my daily drivers I use ultra guard paint sealer, it beads unbelievable and lasts a really long time.

on my seven this year I have been using Pinnacle Souveran because a black car just LOVES carnuba wax, but before that I used Mothers. Only tried the pinnacle to see what the hype was about

i made this video when I was washing my car. I had put the UPG on there almost 2 months prior, this is how the water was beading on a DIRTY, not washed in 3 weeks car ( a clean car almost always beads )

I think Meguiar's is the best stuff you can get from any local store. There's much better products available online, but you'll be paying a ton. I've been working to remove most of the oxidation from my S2. It's very time consuming, but the difference in the finish is well worth it. So far I'm using...

-Wizards Wash Super Concentrate
-Meguiars Clay Bar
-Meguiars #7 Show Car Glaze
-Meguiars #26 Hi-Tech Yellow Wax

It's coming along very nicely, but I've probably already got 8 hours into it and I'm only halfway through the exterior. Completely worth it, though.

I second this!This stuff is amazing as a life time sealant once the paint is corrected.

If I just go for a basic sealant I use Blackfire Wet Diamond.

I shop here for all the best detail products

I'm sold with 3M!! Clay bar the car down,dry, apply some 3M (blue) polishing compound, wipe clean, and finish it off with 3M wax.

The big bottle of 3M though that's like 60 bucks a bottle. Just my experience with black cars...no swirles at all when done. Then again black cars will get dusty right afterwards....oh well

I use meguiar's clay bar and detail spray along with a flex polisher with menzerna polishes. I've heard lots about 3m but never tried. They're easier to get locally so I'm thinking of going 3m.

I use Meg's 105/205 combo seal it with wolfgang deep gloss sealant and top it with P21s. Does wonders.

Also, at least in Georgia, Griots products are becoming available in Advance stores andS100 can typically be found at Harley dealerships. All good products that wont break the bank.
