What products should I use to get the best shine out of my car? What does everyone use.

I know your title says Cleaning Products so I am not sure if you are asking about a wash for your car or wax/polish..

I personally use Zaino, all their products, wash,polish etc.. Love the stuff.. Tropi-Care has some really nice stuff as well.

Here is a pic of my car with Z5,Z2,Z5,Z2 so 4 coats... More reasons to ***** my car out

Oh sorry, I probably should have been more specific. But either wax or washing is good. I just want to know what everyone uses to make it look good. But thanks for the links and info. Also, very good looking car!

That is a HUGELY open-ended question. Most of it is personal preference.

Here are some products I use and/or recommend:

- car wash - Zaino, Meguiar's, Griots, Eagle One, etc.
- clay - very few differences
- polishes - Menzerna, 3M, Meguiar's, etc.
- wax - S100, Pinnacle, Clearkote, Trade Secret, Natty's, etc.
- sealant - Zaino, Klasse/Werkstatt, Tropi-Care, etc.
- quick detailer - Zaino Z6, FK 425, Clearkote Quik Shine, Meguiar's Final Inspection, etc.
- towels - quality microfiber- a good variety is needed
- mitts - Eurow sheepskin
- degreaser/all purpose cleaner - P21s Total Auto Wash, Meguiar's APC, Eimann Fabrik, etc.
- rubber and vinyl dressing- Zaino Z16, Adam's VRT, Armor All, etc.
- glass cleaner - Adam's Glass Cleaner, Stoner's Invisible Glass, Eagle One 20/20, etc.
- wheel cleaner - Eagle One A2Z, P21s Wheel Gel, etc.
- metal polish - Mother's, English Custom, Flitz, etc.
- spot cleaner - 303 Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner
- leather cleaner/conditioner - Zaino Z9 and Z10, Leatherique, Leathermaster, etc.
- wide assortment of brushes - carpet, upholstery, wheel wells, air vents, engine, etc.

Can't go wrong with either Zaino or Meguiar's. I absolutely love the microfiber wash mitt from Meguiar's. It's one of the softest materials I've ever felt (holds water well, too).
