3)Exterior:
4)Wheels:
5)Tires:

I got turned onto Zaino maybe 15 years ago or so. Probably what I use the most of. Though I prefer Griot's glass cleaner. For polish, I like PoorBoys, and if I'm just going to do a quick coat of wax, S100 WOWO method.

Nice! I'll have to take a look at the brands for the exterior.
I have a shopping cart filled with all of chemical guys products...

I chose the leather spray and conditioner thing, Mr. Pink and Honey Dew for the soap, Black on Black for the outside trim/engine bay, Decon Pro Iron for the wheels, and the inner clean for interior detailing. Also a bunch of micro fiber, brushes and etc LOL My OCD....

Most of the stuff out there is pretty darned good.The reality is 90% of the end result is how you use it,and the other 10% comes from the various products.

I used to use Cquartz, but switched to this for my newest car. Much easier to apply

Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Paint Coating

also use their wheel and glass coatings.
