i use griots car care products...try GRIOTS.com or use GOOGLE.


Theyve got everything from towels to wax to air compressers.

It may be a little expensive but i guess you get what you pay for!

Default A little bit of everything

I've never found 1 brand to be the best at everything, but most brands have at least a couple very good products that I like.

I use Meguiar products and love the end result I start off with the #7 polish and finish with the #26 yellow wax.

Zaino has become my preferred choice for most of my detailing work.

If you want depth and clarity go with One Grand Products (sold on this site) Look at my pic.

what about durability? wax-based stuff looks the best but has the worst durability, polymer-based stuff has the best durability but looks shiny as opposed to deep. so far, klasse is the only stuff ive used that has a good combination of depth and durability... and if you throw a coat of plain wax on top, it looks awesome.

I use the One Grand BLITZ WAX , and you can build multi layers of the wax ................

Did you look a my pic ? that is the original paint 96LS with 93000 miles and it looks better than when I bought it.
