I've used a ton of products over the past several years, but with time not on my side, a new house in the works, and a marriage coming, time and money are a little shorter. So, I am attempting to find products I can buy at Murray's, AutoZone or Pep Boys. A little background...My car is black metallic with black leather, a daily driver, and garaged at home.
For My Polish....
I am using some leftover Menzera now, but I think I will be going to Mother's PowerPolish. I have found this product to be extremely easy to work with, cheap, and most of all, it works. Maybe not quite as nice as
PO106FF, but still nice.
LSP....
For now, I am using the new Mother's Reflections. From what I have heard, this is a great choice for metallics. I agree. The durability is decent as well. FX is getting harder to find, and I think it is not really the choice for this color. I wouldn't mind getting some TW Ice, but I can't spend 20 dollars on a TW Product. My only other off the shelf possibility is regular old Mother's Carnauba. For now, Reflections.
Booster...
Just bought some Nano Spray today. Finished nice, and as easy to use as a QD. Good product, so far. Only other option might be Reflections Spray, but that is more like a regular wax. I like the easy of use with Nano.
Tires...
Laugh....but...Armor All. Cheap and easy to find. It is low gloss as well. I also like the Michelin tire dressing, but it is not as easy to come by.
Leather...
TW Cleaner/Conditioner. Easy to find and cheap, smells nice, and easy to use. Winner!
That's about it for now....I'd be more than happy to take suggestions, etc. Just thought this might make for an interesting post.
