Maybe this topic has been discussed before, but honestly I don't know where to start from. There are a large variety of car care products for everything from cleaners to waxes available in the market to choose from. I want to know which products do you guys like, dislike and recommend to others. Well, I am not a big fan of any specific brand. Looking forward to hear from your end.

Thanks for your inputs.

Currently, I'm really like the Turtle Wax Ice products and the Auto Glym rapid detailler. There both worth the price.

depending on your region and paint condition you can use a variety of things

you're in California, but is your paint in excellent condition?

do you need to attempt a paint correction or swirl removal?

is price a concern?

I'm in Ohio, its winter right now so i'm using Klasse All-in-One follow by Klasse High Gloss sealant glaze. this will provide the protection i need from road salt.

you may have to try a few items to determine what you like, consider this

sealants make water bead and last a long time (4 months to a year) and have excellent reflective properties

waxes have a deeper glow and some can even give you a sweet wet look

sealants go on easy and come off easy, waxes require more work (some you have to do by hand, and I mean with Hands)
