Back in the game: New car - Cheap, Easy, Fast, Durable, OTC

[tul9033]

Not necessarily in that order.
9 years ago I was always washing and waxing my car, usually with Zaino. The regiment then was, Dawn, Clay Magic Bar, Z7, Z2, and finish up with Z6 with the occasional PC treatment. Back in the day it was Meguiars Endurance low gloss on the tires, maybe 303 on the inside or Zaino tire and leather.
I`m a bit older now with different priorities. I`d like to detail my new Blizzard Pearl Toyota with products that are long lasting, easy to apply, look good, quick, and easy to find locally or as a Prime order from Amazon. Seems Duragloss is like the Zaino knock off, but sounds promising at a good price. Seems Clay Bar has been replaced by Nanoskin type products. Don`t really want to go back to Zaino even though I still have most of the products. It really wasn`t that easy to apply and was an all day ordeal. I`d also like to avoid specialty, special order, vanity, etc products.
The array of products and the overlap of what they do is mind boggling. I`ve been reading all day and seems every time I start to lean toward a product someone discounts it and I start over.
The search seems to be limited to 4 characters or more, so "new car", 111, 605, etc return no results. I`ve even considered going the TW ICE route.
I appreciate any tips or links to a regiment that meets my criteria.

Meguiars line, easy and inexpensive, unless you are going to machine polish, stay away from the mots for flaying.

maintain with DG521

Why 521 as opposed to 921?

Why 521 as opposed to 921?

For that matter, why 501 as opposed to 101?

If you are looking for something quick than an all in one might be what you are looking for. They don`t typically last as long as a sealant. Are you planning to polish at all?

True. An AIO like DG501 would work fine on a white car by itself, but topping it with a pure sealant takes only a few minutes and adds lots of durability.

This is the overlapping product confusion I speak of. Do I go 501 or 101 on a brand new car? I do plan to go 111 to seal after cleaning. Then is it maintain with 521 or 921?
Is dawn still the preferred stripper for dealer prep wax?
What are you guys using for the dash and other interior parts?
Thanks for the info, keep it coming.

True but if that`s the case why not just polish and seal?

That would work of course. Despite being an AIO, I use 501 because it`s a great pre-wax cleaner, without much consideration of protection.

You can`t wrong with 521 on white. You will be amazed with how well it cleans the paint. I would top with 105 and maintain with AW

I think you mean 501. As far as topping with 105, IMHO 111 might look better on pearl white. I like 20% AW/80% 521 as I dry.
