What do you use to clean your car (products)

Alstann · 04-15-2012, 12:38 AM

For you guys and gals looking for a quick and easy wax job, I seriously recommend Lucas Slick Mist wax. Usually, my car washes consist of Wheel clean, wash car, clay bar, caranuba wax, then all sorts of interior stuff, and it takes many hours. I gave the Lucas Slick Mist a try after my dad had used it on his Harley, and the smootheness and shine was pretty incredible, especially for a simple spray-on-and-wipe wax.

Zaino Bros Poly Sealant for long term. A new product that I have tried is Meguires spray on "Quik Wax." Its great for in between your full wax schedule. Leaves the surface silky smooth right after a good wash. Autozone or Advanced Auto has it. Amazon.com: Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax: Automotive

I have the Meguiar's gold class wash & conditioner, polish, quik detailer and clay bar, new formula tire clean and shine, (purple bottle) quik wax and liquid wax, meguiars interior cleaner, blue coral for my seats.
I have mixed and matched all kinds of products. Have stayed loyal to a brand set as well to inspect results. I think dollar for dollar. Meguiars is best because for about $75, you get the ultimate clean. Other high end brands give me identical results for $120+. More money isn't always better. Sometimes you break even in quality and lose out in cash.
The only thing I have a problem with is that Meguiars quik detailer must be used in the shade. I have encountered other brands that can be applied in the sun.

the meguiar's quick detailer (the cheap maroon bottle one) works great for clay lube.

if you get the synthetic one you can use it in the sun to remove bird crap and such. i personally use Prima Slick for synthetic QD but again, op... check the detailing section.

Meguiars ultimate detailer. Amazing. Use it all the time...even on the rims.

Just bought their ultimate wash and wax anywhere but haven't tried it yet.

For deeper cleaning of the rims however, I use Mothers tire spray. I like it better than the meguiars version as it seems to loosen the brake dust better.
