non-meguiars product that you use

[gasti_ako]

I hope this is ok. I saw a recent poll here and most members use different products in their car care.

Could you post your non meguiars product that you use?

I am using Rain-x for my windshield and Armor-all(reformulated) for my dASH. Cali blades and Microtex Elite for drying. Auto guard for my "tire black". WD40 for metal polishing and lubrication.

Re: non-meguiars product that you use

I use the Whesley's Tire Cleaner (diluted a little) for the tires and Simple Green (also diluted) for the wheelwells. I also use IG for all of my glass and probably will continue to do so as I cannot find the NXT Glass cleaner anywhere.

I also use the cheap MFs from Sam's Club to dry my car, but I do use SS MFs for removing wax and such. Otherwise, everything else is Meguiar's.

I use an old tube of Blue Corral Gel Bug and Tar Remover... good stuff. I will have to try the RainX Gel when my tube is gone, I like how the Gel sticks right where I want it.

Re: non-meguiars product that you use

I use a number of Chemical Guys products for my white car which delivers just the look I like, especially an almost glowing gloss under street lights. I also use Armor All Car Wash Gel and Car Wax Gel (both discontinued products) on that car for when I need to get a quick wash and wax down - those together deliver almost the same effect as I get with the Chemical Guys products, but a lot quicker and lot cheaper. The CG products I use are their Citrus Wash & Gloss shampoo, EZ Creme Glaze and Jetseal 109. I'm getting some Blitz and some Synthetic QD next. I also have a special product put togther for Detailing World forum members - Wet Wet Wet wax ... and it is!!!

For winter prep, I use Car-Lack68 Nano Systematic Care and Long Life Sealant with Collinite 476S paste wax on both cars - this sets them up for the very dirty, grimy months of October and November through to a nice mid-Winter detail on a crisp clear day when I apply the process again to get my cars through to spring when I break out the nice products for spring and summer.

Our black car gets #83/#80 when needed, #7 and #26 liquid and then #16 (because I like beading) or just #7 and some other wax, say Pinnacle Souveran or whatever gets lent to me by friends. I also use Einzsett Waxpolish soft sometimes - it depends just what kind of polish I want to give the car before putting the wax on.

For towels, I use Eurow shag pile microfibre for wax and QD and a microfibre mitten followed by a Eurow towel for removing and buffing polishes. Applicators, I use Sonus SFX Pro for polishes, Sonus Der Wunder or Blue Pearl Microfibre pads for glazes and liquid waxes, and unbranded yellow foam pads for paste wax and ScratchX. I keep meaning to pick up some Meg's white pads - the Even Coat applicators, but I have a couple of unbranded ones that I could break out if needs be.

Really, it boils down to a couple of things - for my white car, I was a real glossy dripping finish and I've found the products I like to use and achieve that look. The car is an '80s icon (a SAAB 900) and looks best like that IMO, what with the rear window louvre and big bodykit. Our black car (another SAAB 900, but convertible from 1992) looks best with a real oil black deep pool ... and Meg's Mirror Glaze range gives me exactly what I want there. I cannot speak highly enough about #7 and #26. I love 'em

Re: non-meguiars product that you use

Due to our water restrictions I use ONR & DP 4 n 1 quite often. Other than that Meguiars it is.

Re: non-meguiars product that you use

2 products as I can't find NXT window wash, use Eagle One, and Eagle One all tire/wheel cleaner ONLY to clean the tires, then lovingly use HRAWC for the wheels. Oh....use Costco MF/Terry cloths for misc and use Meguiars MF for paint. Other than that, all Meguiars products. My next order is to try some window cleaner from the detailer line as well as APC+.

Re: non-meguiars product that you use

I use Sam's club Microfiber towels, Optimum Poyseal as a final polish, and a variety of pads, including Lake County pads.

Re: non-meguiars product that you use

I use 303 Aerospace protectant for the interior non-leather and the wheelwells. Also, 303 Fabric cleaner and Fabric protectant for convertables. The leather gets Lexol. The windows get Stoners and Rain-X. Everything else gets Meguiars.

Re: non-meguiars product that you use

Glass cleaner (Eagle One)
Tire cleaner (Simoniz)
Carpet & upholstery (Turtle Wax)
Trim (still trying to find THE one)

I use another product because either
- I don't have access to an equivalent Meg's product (I use mainly OTC)
- I have access to an equivalent Meg's product, but it's more expensive for the same result.
