there is a thread over in the maintenance forum ;)

But for me, I'm still deciding on a combo

Anyways, currently I use DP Spray Sealant. Before I also used Natty's Blue. Eventually I will be using Klasse AIO + Spray Sealant + Natty's Blue. Then in the winter I'll change it up and find a way to add Red Moose Glaze into that.

i have s100/p21s polish and wax but sometimes use meguiars #7 polish and the tech wax. the tech wax is okay, doesn't last very long but is easy to work with. i need a better polish/sealant

I need to wax my car. I haven't waxed it since I got it in May. It was used so I'm not sure when the last time wax has touched my car. I will probably use Meguires wax that my friend uses. The soap is great, I'm hoping the wax is just as good!

Meguiars cleaner/wax, because I already had it and it does a good job. Will likely try something else after this runs out, but haven't decided what. Using microfiber towels for wax on-wax off, as they're perfect for that job.

I suggest a mother's clay bar followed up with 2 coats of mothers caranuba wax. It is amazing at the cleaning job the clay bar does.

For a total prep and show finish I use...

Mothers clay bar system...

then use meguires gold class clearcoat carnuba on any swirls or scratches

Finished off with a nice coat of turtle wax ICE, stuff is a KILLER polish and works perfect on plastics!

Then I use mothers quick detailer at shows...
