I’ve always used “Mother’s” for car wash, wax, and aluminum polish, but I’ve never really found a tire shine that I have fallen in love with.


What’s your car wash/detailing gear?

Would sound racist if I told you.

I have all the crap. I have been fond of Adam's products. But your technique means more than products, truthfully. 3 bucket wash. Dry with microfibers but as little as possible. I try to use air as much as I can. I even have a spotless water filter system I use when washing multiple cars. I can do final rinse with the filtered water and walk away and the car will dry in the sun with no water spotting.

Auto Magic for all products

Try their Magic Dressing on your tires. It works great.

I use Meguiars mostly but have recently fallen in love with the Black Magic tire shine.

Seriously, for fear of sounding all OT-y


There’s a place I go to where I’ve been really impressed with the service.

Wash with hand dry, wax, detail the interior, including deep clean (detergent spray and vacuum suction) of seats for 150. Do it every 3 months.

I think they use all Meguairs for the wax and interior treatments though.

Ceramic coating for the win. Find someone in your area that does G-techniq coating. Legit as hell. Car always looks detailed

Geoff Bodine Waxing Frenzy. This product started out as a boat product. The company was originally Hammerhead Boatworks and they produced the product. Geoff got involved a few years after Waxing Frenzy started. Incredible wax. Glad you started this thread....I need to order some.

I am interested in the Zaino products though. Been eyeing them for months.

Neanderthal technique & supplies but regular.

I do pull the wife’s (no pics) into the garage immediately after final rinsing to dry it.

I have a company vehicle and pile up miles on them over four years or so, at resale with 160k on it, the difference between microfiber drying or not is not a big issue.
