Talking what brand of car wash, wax and tire shine do you use???

just wanted to know which is the best to use and gives you the best results, i use meguirs car wash and if you leave it for 2 seconds it leaves spots. but the meguirs gold class wax and hot shine foaming tire shine work great. Also wanted to know how good is turtle wax ICE.

I have been using Griot's products for the last 8 or 9 years. I like them a lot and have had very good results.

car wash - world's best wax car wash
wax - world's best wax, and some stuff i picked up from http://www.autowerkesexclusive.com called poor boys
tires - forgot the brand but its a spray on foam up and come back 10mins later thing
wheels - slimply green, this cleaner works on everything including engine bay and safe for the environment.


for quick touch up, mothers quick detailer, plus it smells nice.

I found the tire shine for 3.99 the other day so I picked up a bottle of Turtle Wax tire foam... holy 1st coating left the tires unchanged, so I tried a 2nd coat... NOTHING. Worst excuse for tire shine ever. Should paid the 4.99 for the one of the other brands.

I've used the Zaino products for five years, best results ever. For $120 buy the whole wash wax pkg, you'll never regret it. Most SC owners swear by it!!
