OK. This is a shorter version on my last post. I'm looking for a lot of opinions and reviews on products y'all like the most or use the most.
I'm fairly new and don't know of many products. So instead of trying to read each product that had a review I'd like to make a thread about what's your best performing product pad or tool.

So post a quick review on 1 or 2 things u like the most and reason y. Like its results ease of use value whatever.

Basicly I'd just like to see what everyone's favorites are.
From soaps, trim products, cleaners, compounds, polishes, glazes, sealers, waxes, pads tools and so on..

Pics if u got them..
Please post about anything u have or like. Help me be open to more products that I don't know about.

Always amuses me the differences of opinion to M205. Some love it, some hate, moreso than with other products.

Anyways, my favorite product is ONR, looking forward to trying ONR with wax.
 
My favorite overall product is probably poorboys polish with sealant. Reason being is thats what I found best to use on 80% of my customer details. It cleans the paint good, easy to work with and remove, price is ok for me, durabilty is fairly good for an aio.

Another great product for me is Collinite 845. Great price! I find it awesome to work with, removal is ok if its applied thin....I always apply with a da. Solid, consistent good results and durability. I even use it on trim sometimes.

What is it like a trim restorer? Or just like a dressing? Is it just wipe on?

Just as the name implies 1Z einszett Plastic Deep Cleaner is a strong cleaner (not a dressing or "restorer") for plastic and vinyl. It comes in a spray container but using it will involve a soft brush and/or microfiber towels too. Good stuff.

My most used products are shampoos and Optimum Car Wash Concentrate, Dodo Juice Born to be Mild and Lusso Auto Bathe are my keepers out of the couple dozen plus I've tried.
 
Favorite by far is sonax perfect finish. Great one step polish that finishes way better than m205 on my car and my girlfriend's car. It is unbelievable as a one step polish on soft paint. It gets rid of scratches and swirls with a very short work time (about 90 seconds). If I had RIDS and heavier defects I would have to use something like scholls concepts s3 gold or menz fg400.


Most used would be uww+ as a qd or my carpro wash mitt.
 
Duragloss AquaWax. Good for protecting paint after washes and enhancing gloss. Good for coating wheels and windows (better beading on windshield than Rain-X). Can be used as a QD in a pinch and also as a terrific drying aid - but really excels as a spray wax/sealant "topper" (use it over wax or sealant).

Although it does not mention it on the bottle, another important factor is that AW also provides good UV protection (according to Jerry at Duragloss). It is cheap compared to many other similar sprays and, unlike those other brands that have to be ordered on the web, AW can be found in some local stores such as Carquest and NAPA. The bottle and sprayer are tops and I have never had one fail or leak.

AW can not be beat in terms of the combination of ease of use, buying convenience, versatility, price and most of all, performance - just too much going for it not to be numero uno!
 
I assume the most used products by anybody would be car wash products. I think Duragloss 901 is a great maintenance product at an incredible value. Put 1/2 ounce ONR in the wash mix and you have an unbeatable combination for both safe washing and elimination of water spots. Most of all I love the way it rinses clean without leaving any spotting or residue.

I'd put CG wash n gloss in the must have car wash category as well for stripping old wax off your car or just before a detail.

For maintenance after each wash its hard to beat Meg's D156. Works in any temperature on any paint and never streaks. Very inexpensive as well. Duragloss aqua wax great as well.

Basically you can't go wrong with Meguiars products. Their R&D department is off the charts.

For polishes, if value means anything to you, Meg's M101, D300, M205, Ultimate polish are great products and easy to use.

For black paint...sonax perfect finish polish, then hit it with either Meg's black wax, or pinnacle souveran wax.
 
Duragloss Aquawax and Duragloss 901 are fantasic products. I like Optimum Shampoo and ONR as well.
 
megs hyper wash. great in the bucket or foam gun. suds last the whole wash. i used them all, and hyper wash for the win.
 
Great post guys.

You can use it on treated leather works great use all the time. Just put a drop of water on the leather if it doesn't soak in its treated and good to go. Works great on any plastic or vinyl too. This is by far the best product I have use to clean plastic and leather.
 
Collinite 845. It is one of the most durable and easy to use wax that is not expensive.

:autowash: :buffing:
 
Favorite product - optimum hyper polish, works great as a one step and as a finishing polish.

Most used - ONR by a long shot. I especially like adding it to my regular car wash since it softens water real good.
