Damn, that's a tough one. If could only work with only one of each:

Car wash: Autoint Decon (I can do a wash as well as paint cleaning in 3 steps)

Polish (abrasive): Menzerna FPII (nothing else comes close, cept 85rd)

Polish(chemical): AIO (don't really know anything else)

Glaze: FK1 #303 Machine Glaze (good hiding, and longest lasting of all the
glazes I've used)

Sealant: Z2Pro (best looking sealant, IMO)

Wax: FK1 Pink Wax (Best looking wax, IMO, and hides very well)

QD: FK1 425 (does not strip off existing LSP, and leaves behind a very nice shine)

I know I seem to be the only person in the world that likes this product.
I use about 1.5 oz to about 3 gallons. Best suds, slickness and smell. My day to day wash is PB SSS which I buy by the gallon, but like WG better. Unfortunatley WG is crazy expensive and I buy the biggie sizes.
Maybe everyone wants to donate their crappy WG autobathe to me?
Maybe it has something to do with our soft water

It really is super slick... it cleans well but has not been harsh even over a carnauba in my experiences with it, when mixed appropriately. It is economical, and it smells great. There are other shampoos I really like (NXT, Griot's, Z7, Bubble Bath, etc.) but taking all things into consideration, I'd take the SS&S if I had to use only one.

Great thread!

Good to see what everyone's single favorite is in each area. I'm going to have to pick up some of this stuff to try.
