Is everyone using? Right now I'm using Autoglym products (glass polish, super resin polish, bumper care etc), Meguira's nxt gen spray wax, ICE car wash. Running low on the Autoglym products, looking for other people's opinions on other products...

 

Hi jcap287,

I've tried everything from Meguiers to Menzerna and I found the company Adams Polishes brings a lot to the table.

I went to their detail clinic that the owner hosted last weekend and the dedication the company has to their products and their customers is something you just don't find anymore.

The owner literally held a demo of some of their new products - then said he won't leave until either he or one of his employees helps everyone that has a question or a trouble spot on their car.

One of the employees worked on my hood for over an hour with a Flex polisher helping me remove some stubborn imperfections in my paint.

Check them out http://www.adamspolishes.com

Also, their MF towels are sick!

 

The Prima line of products have been very impressive to me.

 

+1. Hydro is liquid gold, baby

 

Wash: DP Extreme Foam + Gilmour foam gun, or Optimum No Rinse (1 oz/2 gallons water)
Wax: Zaino Z2 + Zaino Clear Seal (yes, I know neither is really a wax)
Clay: Zaino, although I just bought some Pinnacle Poly Clay to try out
Exterior plastic: Autosmart In and Out spray (identical to Adam's In and Out)
Quick detailer: Optimum No Rinse (6 oz/one gallon water)
Wheels: Wheel Wax
Interior plastic: 303 Aerospace protectant
Leather: Leather Masters Cleaner and Protectant

 

I second this. Adams is the best.

 

Prima!

 

double post for the fail. But use ArmorAll extreme tire shine gel for the tires makes them look brand new and lasts the longest, Lexol for interior, and Armor All for exterior plastic it looks awesome.

 

Thank's for your responses, I'm looking into Prima and Adam's polishes. That's the stuff that caught my eye..Awesome picture btw.

 

Put your photos where your mouth (fingers) are:



And no... this is not a photo of the same MINI. This is a photo of the door on my JB MCSC:



Prima products.

 

I found http://www.wolfgangcarcare.com/index.html and they rock. So I'm now working with Prima and Wolfgang. I agree Hydro and Slick are great Prima Products.

 

Prima and Griots, with some BW from OG!

 

Everything....and I mean EVERYTHING from Griot's Garage...seeing that the main headquarter is only a few miles away from me makes it very convenient....AND the discount to Puget Sound Mini Owners is an added bonus!

I use the 6" Orbital Buffer, a 3" orbital buffer, Polish #2,#3,#4, Best of Show wax, Speed Shine, Glass Polish, Plastic Polish, Metal Polish.

Im like a kid in a candy store when I walk in there!

I still like Zaino for my car.

I am a KLASSE man all the way. Hard to beat that stuff for long term protection and looks.! As for the UV protection for the rubber and vinyl components Aerospace 303 protectant is great. They use it on planes and boats also.

 

Zaino here too.

Black Wow for the exterior plastic.

 

Griot's Garage here, definitely a customer for life....................

 

Klasse and Sonus all the way for me, baby, and Vinylex for the black trim

 

Exclusively Prima products!

 

MINI Wachs und Plastik Care.

 

same here
AIO + SG is great and 303 on all the plastic and rubber.

 

Prima from Detailer's Paradise (Denver). Hydro every wash, Epic wax, Clarity for glass, and XX?? on the plastic works for me. I need some claybar though, hard to find by itself at a store. Who would have that?

 

I've been using Prima for a couple of years and really like it. Just started trying some Optimum stuff - No Rinse (ONR) - and really have been impressed with their stuff. Know a lot of folks like the Griots stuff but haven't been really impressed with most of what I've got from them.

TheBigNewt, Octaneguy has Meguires Blue Clay by itself. It's a little bit more aggressive than the Over The Counter stuff (megs, mothers, clay magic etc) though not enough that I am at all worried about using it. Most of the OTC stuff is good enough to get the job done even if it does have their cheap QD stuff with it.

 

So many choices...

 

Ditto for me...simple, straightforward, long-lasting, looks great....and cure time isn't an issue.
