Over on www.detailcity.com, they had a recent thread where people listed their favorite products. I thought this might be a good thread to have over here. First, the "joke" entry: Tires- Westley's Bleche-White. Wheels- TurtleWax 2001 CarWash Carwash-TurtleWax 2001 CarWash Wax- NuFinish Wax Removal- Old Shirt(remove buttons) Interior-Amorall Protectant Wipes Drying-Thread Bare Towels(cotton) Windows-Windex Windex Removal-Again an Old Shirt Ok, now onto the real list. Here's mine: Exterior Wash – Meguiar's Gold Class Clay – Blackfire PolyClay II Polish – Menzerna IP and FPII Glaze - Don't use it, but I'd try Blackfire GEP or Menzerna FTG if I had to Sealant – Klasse AIO/SG,, Zaino Z-5 Last Step Product (topper) - Four Star UPP, Blackfire, Zaino Z-2 Quick Detailers – Four Star UGE, Blackfire, Sonus, Zaino Wheel & Tire Cleaner – DP Wheel Cleaner Wheel Sealant – DP Wheel Glaze Tires – Blackfire Tire Gel Wheel Wells – 303 Aerospace Protectant Window Glass – Stoner's IG Trim Pieces – 303 Aerospace Protectant, Black Again Chrome Plastic – Klasse AIO Bumpers – Klasse AIO or same as paint Headlights – Wolfgang Plastic Glaze and Plastic Sealant Interior Leather – Four Star Leather Conditioner (former longtime Lexol user) Wood Panels – Klasse AIO Dashboard – 303 Aerospace Cleaner and Protectant (former longtime Meguiar's #40 user) Inside Windows – Stoner's IG I won't claim that any of these products are the best at what they do, but based on my experience, and that of others, I do believe they are all among the very best in their respective categories.
Yikes, that's a lot of different products for one car! I guess it's the equivalent to "high maintenance" beauty routines for some women. Since the Prius is my first-ever brand-new car, I am trying to keep it looking nice, but I'm not willing to go that far.
