Blackfire "wet Diamond" Sorta Expensive, Easy to use, Works awesome beads really well for 2 months beads ok for an additional 2 months next 2 months had beading but could use reapplication. Looks amazing. The wax I use after I do a real good detail (like in the spring) or a paint correction.
Collinite 845, Cheap, easy to use, looks very good, original beading is good (not great) and stays that way for 3-4 months before it starts to weaken ^ months realistic protection / my winter wax. CarPro Hydro2, Works on every surface of the car (and gets into places other waxes can not), Easy doesnt even do justice to describing how easy applying this is (simple spray on and spread and seal with hard stream of water from hose or power washer), Beading is amazing for the first month then starts to fade slowly 2-3 months of realistic protection. My quick summer wax. |

You just spray it on and wipe it off. I use it to take off bugs after a drive or a quick wipe when my car is just dusty and isn't really in need of a wash.

Really Zaino at walmart? I didnt think zaino sold any product at retail stores? Never seen them there or any store around me. Weird!

I use a rotation of SCG, Zaino, Adams, Chemical Guys, etc. Depends on what I need at the time as far as look or protection.
Was a huge Zaino user for years, but I love the warmth I get from the Adams line. SCG was easier to remove for a carnuba compared to the Adams, but they both work about equal to my eyes. As a Zaino user I would do an application every week just for stress relief, I can't do that with carnuba as it will build up too much. I had to retrain my brain some there. But I really like Adams. I like Chemical guys for my tire dressing, I like Adams applicators, applicators, microfibers, etc. Just my .02 |

Oh and P21S is nice. Goes on wet, wipes off wet. Very quick. Some of the Corvette guys swear by it also. |

I only use blackfire... The polish, paint finish, and spray keep it not only shiny but also keeps the paint looking like new for years with minimal swirlage.

Long time Mequiars user. Cleaner/Polish is still one of the go to products for a quick shine. Have been working with their 105 and 205 products for the last few years. Topped off with their Gold Class wax. When in need of something more aggressive, I use 3m Perfect-it and then finish with Mequiars. My one complaint with Gold Class is I believe they changed the formula and it now dusts up heavy upon removal. PC7424 with foam pads gets the results I crave.

Meguiars here, don't believe the hype on the high $ brands.

I've always used Mother's three step process. I remember when Mother's was a pretty elite brand that you couldn't find at box stores. Now that I've joined this forum, I've ordered some Blackfire, Chemical Guys and Adams products to try out. I can't wait until spring to give my car a good detailing.

Old school Meguiar's Yellow #26 paste wax. I have used it for years and it works fine for me. My car doesn't see any nasty conditions though.
