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.)
Everything I use for the body is nothing but Meguairs top quality prodcuts then for wheels I use Mothers, for glass cause its easier than pie is Stoner invisible glass. Also cause I work for Kragens and get my discount _________________

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). _________________ John (from Down Under)
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 didn't touch it. I swear.
