XRL said:Meg's SwirlX and UC are both awesome, I agree.
Stoner's Invisible Glass quite simply just works great.
Mothers California Gold Carnauba Paste is a great wax, very comparable to entry level boutique waxes at a fraction of the price.
Surf City Garage Dash Away is my interior cleaner of choice.
Meguiar's NXT2 - Someone, please prove to my why Zaino is better than this stuff. Seriously.
Turtle Wax Platinum Paste - OK, this stuff isn't really out there as much anymore. But it was awesome stuff, a great blend of carnauba and polymers.
Carrand Brushes - These are actually very nice and pretty cheap, and can be found at Walmart.
Target MF Towels - Great cheap MF for those areas that don't require a super plush towel (door jambs, things like that)
Meg's Gold Class Wash - I've often referred to this as the gold standard. And it is. Awesome combo of quality, price, etc.
Eagle 1 Nano Wax Spray - Awesome booster wax, really brings out the pop in a lot of paints.
Eagle 1 A2Z Wheel Cleaner - Very good wheel cleaner. Not too strong, not too weak. Just right.
There's tons more. I'm a believer that if you tried hard you could get a full lineup OTC that works as good as boutique stuff.
A few I haven't tried but I've heard good things about:
Black Magic Titanium Matte Tire Stuff - It's water based and a nice dark matte finish
Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel - This stuff is supposed to be slightly glossy, but its not water based.
303 Protectant - Supposed to be very good interior spray. Not super glossy.
