I snapped a picture of my shelf with most of my car care stuff on it. The California Car Duster and Water Blade aren't on it though.

Re: Your Favouite Detailing Products

I have a variety of products I have been testing out for a few years. Two of my absolute favorites and will probably never change are P21s Pure Paste wax and Eimann Fabrik Clear Pearl Instant Detail Spray. Love the stuff.

Re: Your Favouite Detailing Products

I'm all for NuFinish!
and then depending on weather I want to spend a little extra time or not I like to use turtle wax(not the stuff in the bottle)
or Mothers car cleaner wax(bottle)

I'll tell ya what though, if your paint is faded/oxidized then Nufinish will kick in a nice dull shine, follow it up with wax and your lookin' pretty damn good!

Re: Your Favouite Detailing Products

my vote is for mequires all the way. i have used many but it goes on so easy and comes off even easier. i how ever used a 3m 3 step before and that worked wonders for oxidized cars. cleaner/polish/wax.
