none exist that i know of... lol you should be the first one out there to make and sell the products.



on a serious note, there are many vendors on here for all of your detailing needs. Autogeek.net has always been my favorite and end up spending the most there.

You can shop by product type or brand on most of the vendor sites.

As far as the best brands, there are too many fanboys to decide what is best.

A few off the top of my head are:

Meguiars, Menzerna, Optimum, Dodo, Swissvax, Poorboys world, Pinnacle, Wolfgang, Detailers Pride, and so on..

Mainly stay away from your over the counter things like turtlewax and you will be fine.

Good luck and happy detailing

Not sure who the biggest are but Meguiar's and Chemical Guys are two pretty big companies. They make such a wide variety of car care products it's hard to list them all, check out the link I sent for a sampling. Good luck!

3M is the biggest one to me follow by Meguiar's, Four51 Inc, Mother's, Sc Johnson, and more. There many companies in the car care business that each will fit one needs in car care. We are one that been in field for over 22years and still counting and have one of the best product lines out there....Blackfire Car Care Products., give it a shot, because I bet your going to love it!

Meguiar's is probably the largest in terms of product lines and sales. They've been in business for 110 years, BTW. I believe Meg's has the broadest array of products (>300) covering everything from consumer lines, detailer lines, automotive paint shops lines as well as a line for Marine and RV. They are also the only company I know of that staffs a toll-free support center and offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on their products.

3M now owns Meguiar's. I was in Walmart to find that all 3M car care products were pulled leaving only Meguiar's.

I will try the NXT 2.0 for the first time this spring.

FWIW, Meguiar's has recently released a new synthetic sealant called Ultimate Wax. It comes in a paste or liquid, doesn't stain trim and can be applied in the full sun. It also lasts longer than NXT 2.0.
