Hi again. I am starting another thread only to keep conversations seperate. My other thread is entitled "With what I use, is it ok to detail so much?" but this thread is to discuss what I use. If this causes a problem, please tell me, and I will have the other thread closed.
What I have (In order of use, polishes not always used):
Meguiars Deep Crystal Car Wash (http://meguiars.com/?car-washes/Deep-Crystal-Car-Wash)
BLACKFIRE PolyClay (http://www.properautocare.com/blpoiiclba.html) - Not done the whole car yet, seldom used.
Menzerna Intensive Polish (http://www.properautocare.com/meninpol.html) - Seldom used, only on bad cars or appropriate spot polishes.
Menzerna Final Polish II (http://www.properautocare.com/menfinpol.html) - Used on new or occasional details.
Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze (http://www.properautocare.com/mefitogl.html) - Used once, I like 3M Hand glaze better
3M Imperial Hand Glaze (http://www.properautocare.com/3mimhanglaz.html) - Used faithfully, normally after each wash, before each wax.
Meguiars Gold Class Clear Coat Car Wax (http://www.meguiars.com/?paste-car-waxes/Gold-Class-Clear-Coat-Car-Wax-Paste) - I like how easy it is to take off.
Waterless Wash & Gloss Sealant (http://www.properautocare.com/cp-32.html) - Multipurpose quick detailing - although it states it is not a quickdetail.
I have various extra products for the tires, windows, trim, etc. I am still looking for one product to stick with so if you have any recommendations, let me know. Tomorrow I should be getting some tire dressing that I have seen work extremely well.
I also have the Porter Cable 7424 - I use it on neglected paint and spot scratches, etc.
There arent many times that I was my car and NOT glaze/wax it. The only time I dont is if it is still fairly clean or I quickdetail it. I dont know if it healthy to wax it so much, but I do. Like I said in my other thread, that happens about every 2-4 weeks and that consists of wash-glaze-wax.
So I ask you, based on the chemicals I have in my arsenal, how would you use them? Is there anything you would add to the collection?
Thanks again -- This place is a wealth of knowledge.
