I find these very interesting. Only name products that you have *no* desire to replace with another product.

APC: Optimum Power Clean (undiluted or 3:1)
Glass Cleaner: Meguiar's Detailer Line Concentrate (10:1)
Drying Aid & Waterless Wash: Poorboy's Spray and Wipe
Exterior Trim: Ultima Tire & Trim Guard
Tires, Wheel Wells, Engine: Meguair's Hyper Dressing (4:1)
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner: Protect Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner
Leather Conditioner: Prima Nourish

I have other favorites, but can't say they're not going to be replaced by another product at some point.
 
sealant - Optimum Opti-seal
wax - Optimum Spray
AIO - Optimum Poli-seal
polish - Optimum
compound - Optimum
tire shine - Optimum Tire Shine
wells/bay - Meguiar's Hyper (4:1)
instant detailer - Optimum (4:1)
shampoo - Optimum Car Wash/ ONR
vinyl/leather care - Optimum Protectant
glass cleaner - Meguiar's Professional (10:1)
metal polish - Mothers tub
cleaner/degreaser - Optimum Power Clean (at various dilutions)
carpet/upholstry cleaner - Zep high traffic (at various dilutions)
clay - Pinnacle Poly
wipedown - 50/50 IPA

i'm not one to really play with products - if something works, it works. if it doesn't, i'll find a replacement until something does. some might call me an optimum fan boi, but truthfully, everything i've used from him works great, with the exception of the metal polish (which has been improved since).

i'm big on value via dilution with distilled water. i LOVE that.

i haven't played with paste waxes all that much and i don't use an aggressive clay, but both of those things will probably eventually become parts of my arsenal and i'll have a go-to product for 'em.

i I I, ME ME ME!!! hahaha

I'm with Flash on this. 105 is a staple I will not be replacing unless they stop making it.

I find that a lot of other purposes can be served with whatever is on sale however the jury is still out on a good trim protectant and a WOWA sealant but I am leaning toward Ultima for these.
 
I have settled on FK425 as detailing spray, OPT as all purpose cleaner and OCW as spray wax. Right now I love BFWD as sealant. I am still looking for the magic interior dressing.

That's about all. Everything else is still on probation. I'm leaning towards Megs Hyper Dressing for wells/engine bay and their glass cleaner. Hard to beat cost effective very good performing products. :props:
 
Only two products for me (at this time):

Stoners IG
