What are your favorite products to detail your car? My favorites are not what I consider the best products. I have tried only a small sample of the detailing products on the market. For example, I have not tried Chemical Guys or Griot's Garage products. In addition, I think many good products probably are roughly equivalent. These are among my favorites:

Exterior
Shampoo - Meguiar’s Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo (Dawn, if a sealant will be applied)
Dry – waffle weave towel (any decent brand)
Clay - Clay Magic Blue (Fine Grade)
Polishes - Menzerna
Sealant – Zaino Z2 with ZFX Accelerator
Wax – Victoria Concours Red (and others)
Quick Detailer – Finish Kare 425 (Zaino Z8 for something special)
Wheels - Invisible Glass
Glass – Invisible Glass (and Glass Science Glass Scrub if needed)
Bug and Tar - Stoner Tarminator Bug and Tar Remover and Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad

Interior
Dash and other vinyl – 303 Aerospace Protectant
Leather – Pinnacle cleaner and Pinnacle conditioner or Zaino Z9 (cleaner) and Z10 (conditioner)
Floor mats – 303 Spot Remover; and Scotch Guard or 303 Fabric Guard
Glass – Invisible Glass

I am far from a loyalist or elitist when it comes to car care so I don't really have a list of preferred products, more like a list of what I have now. I have used a scarily large and diverse group of products, both consumer grade and professional. For example for car wash I am currently using some ZEP cars wash from a brand new 5 gl. bucket I got for free from a relocating detail supply warehouse. Its super concentrated and should be good for 44000 car washes. :chuckle:

The only product I am fiercely loyal to is 3D HD Touch. This stuff is the best and slickest final wipe I have ever used. Clay, wax, then HD Touch = a super smooth surface.

Exterior
Shampoo - Any dedicated car wash
Dry – Microfiber drying towels (Costco/Amazon)
Clay - Meguirers
Polishes - Optimum Polish / Optimum Compound
Sealant – Optimum Opticoat / Auto Magic XP Seal-It
Wax – Collinite 845 / Meguirers NXT / Armorall Butter
Quick Detailer – 3D HD Touch
Wheels - Car wash and/or 3D HD Touch
Glass – I HATE GLASS. Tried them all, currently on Baby Shampoo + water (google it)
Bug and Tar - Turtle spray I think (not used often)

Interior
Dash and other vinyl – 303 Aerospace Protectant
Leather – Zymol / Meguires / Switching back to Lexol I think
Floor mats – Vacuum
Glass – I HATE GLASS!!!
