Meguiars hands down. Not the basic stuff but their professional line, Mirror Glaze. They are packaged in mily tanish bottles. They all have numbers on the in red boxes. Look into #80, #20 or #26, #7 or #5, #9, and #83 if you need it. Another great product to use rather than the #83 is 3M fine cut compound (#39002). Great stuff if you need that extra cut. All reasonable prices.

Mother's and Meguiar's will be the OTC brands to look for.

Mother's has a whole new line out.

Meguiar's # 7 Glaze then #26 on top of it. Look at the last album of pics on page 2 of my webshots and check out the shine.

yea, go to Auto Zone to check them out. =)

Use Meguiars Polish, but not there wax in the Mirror glaze. I would go to Mothers for a wax. you don't seem to get as good of a shine with Meguiars. Unless you go with Gold class or maybe NXT.

Another vote for NXT. I have been using the liquid for alomost a year on my car (pretty much since I bought it) and LOVE IT!!! I also started using the NXT detailing spray and now the NXT car wash too. All of these items are great products and work better than anything i've ever used, and you get them anywhere too.

well if you plan on detailing cars i wouldnt skimp out on products IMHO. However you can easily make money off any products i.e P21s, Zaino, Souveran etc... A good cheap alternative to affordable products that do a good job is the Meguairs, Mothers line also try Automagic you can get some of their polishes, glazes and waxes in 16oz bottles for like 7 bucks each. Also Top Of the line has a professional line thats pretty affordable as well.

yea, im just judging by how much they want to spend on what types of material to use, if they want a 150$ job they are going to get zaino,p21, but if they are wanting a 50$ job they are going to get maguires
