Blue Coral, Wash&Wax Concentrate to wash vehicle.
Mother's, California Gold Carnauba, Cleaner Wax and a good window cleaner.
Both work well and the wax comes off nicely, with great staying power.

Any good carwash soap and then Klasse All-In-One with multiple coats of PS21 wax. I use that on my Lemans Blue Vette and the shine is way better than anything i've used before (Mother's, Classic, Menzerna etc.)

I like Megs products. I realise there are claimed to be better products out there but for the price Megs do a top job.

You guys in US Auto stores, spare a though for how us Aussies get gouged for everything automotive.

Megs NXT Paste - In OZ this is on the shelf for A$49.95.
Meg Cleaner Polish - A$29.95

That is why I always come back with a stock of this on my annual visits to the US.

I do have other stuff on my shelf as follows:

Mothers Clay kit
Zymol
3M Cutting Paste

Drying is done using Microfibre and Waffle Weave MF
I have an Orbital with a variety of foam pads

Last week I took delivery of a Rotary with sheepskin bonnet (extreme care required for amateurs - but my first attempt yielded great results on my old Holden Ute).

I use Griot's Garage exclusively. Top to bottom. All their products work together and are the very highest quality. I used to use Meguiars but they keep coming up with new generation products before I could finish the old one. They did not have a waterless car wash and the support at Griots is far superior.

I use Meguiars Gold Class car wash, Meguiars Ultimate Detailer every now and again, 3M Silicone protectant on the motor, Autosol polish on the chrome and motor, 303 on the tires and interior, Meguiars NXT paste wax, and Auto Glym for the seats with a little Folex n' water on the inserts.
