OTC products that have worked great for me

**96snake** · 11-09-2005, 11:51 AM

EO Wipe and Shine- Leaves a nice shine, cheap.

Clay Magic claybar- Very easy to use, not too grabby. The lube that comes with it is nice too.

Stoners More Shine, Less Time- Good durability, aerosol can be a pita if windy, apply with a tire swipe and all is good. Doesn`t really sling.

EO 20/20 glass cleaner- I like it better than Stoners IG, less streaky for me.

Mother FX Synwax- Good durabilty so far, tons of reflections, needs a carnuba based topper to add depth though.

Turtle Wax Platinum liquid wax- Excellent sleeper product, looks great on almost anything. Durability is ok, holds up good with regular QD. 6 bucks, you can`t go wrong.

Turtle Wax Platinum QD- Awesome stuff, adds a nice shine between waxing, pleasant smell.

Purple Power APC- I use it on tires, wheels, wheelwells, carpets, engine. 4 bucks a jug at Wal Mart, I usually dilute it 1:1 for all of the above.

I think my favorite OTC product OF ALL TIME has to be Megs Interior QD. This stuff is AWESOME. It makes my interior look like new. It does not leave a shiny finish. It just leaves the car looking exactly like it did when I picked it up from the dealer.

Aside from Megs IQD the only other OTC product I use are EO tire swipes and Megs High Endurance High Gloss Tire Gel. I love the way my tires look after applying the HE with the swipes.

Oh wait! I do also like Megs & Mothers clay. Both are available OTC.

Thats it, i am going to the store right now to get some megs interior QD stuff !!!!!!!!!!!

Meg`s NXT and DC soaps, and yellow foam apps.

That`s about the extent of my OTC products!

Well I do use cheap MFs and terry towels from the store, but it`s hard to complain about a towel that`s just used to clean engines, exhaust systems, etc...

Meg`s GC and NXT wash. Mothers Showtime.

**imported_Bence** · 11-09-2005, 04:42 PM

Mothers Reflections & FX waxes - the former is a very balanced product, while the FX has extreme reflections. Decent durability for both, but I like to top FX SynWax with 845. For Reflections I use the Top Coat. Great!

TWPUG - absolutely amazing product! Here in Europe we don`t have the paste or the QD but the liquid is outstanding.

NXT - based on the pictures I saw before purchasing I liked its look and the product has delivered it in the real life too. Don`t mind its durability.

Sonax Gloss Shampoo - my go to shampoo, with excellent lubricity.

I really like Meguiar`s interior detailer also. I love the look that it gives.

I also like the Eurow brand sheepskin mitts that I get from Wal-Mart

Meguiar`s Hot Shine tire spray and EO A2Z are pretty good. Ill apply the tire shine to an applictor though instead of spraying it as an aerosol.

I like the cleaning ability of NXT wash soap, but at the same time, that cleaning ability is too harsh on carnauba`s. i guess thats a directly proptional factor though... as cleaning ability goes up, harshness also goes up. ah well...

For my OTC ..I would have to go with Eagle One Tire Wet as my favorite tire dressing. No sling and with a slight shine. Costs $4.77 at Walmart... :clap:
