Who all swears by one brand? What is it and why?
And if you read this, just take a second to at least vote.

I use Blue Coral.
Eagle One gets surface dirt, but doesn't really shine and usually streaks.
Regular Turtle Wax is okay, haven't used Ice yet.
Never used Westley's or Meguiar's.
O'Reilly's store brand is pretty good, but for the cost of it, I just assume get the Blue Coral.

Meguires when I'm doing a proper detail, with an AutoGlym polish.

But for normal washes I go to the pay and spray, and they use Turtle Wax

Depending on what product care I need. For example I'm never going to use Turtle wax for dash and other interior bits because ArmorAll is better but thats about all I'm using from ArmorAll. So if I like it I will keed using , if I don't I'm changing brands, making my car care products of 5 different brands.

Well this thread was really only for car wash only...
But I use Turtle Wax for actual waxing the car and STP Son of a Gun for interior because it really only cleans and doesn't leave an oily film to dry out the surface and allow the heat to make it crack like Armor All if you happen to forget or not get around to doing it every week.

I normally use Meguiar's for washing and all that, but there is a brand called Wizard, and they have a Wizards Shine and Wax and the Wizards Clay Bar, both are amazing, and both work really well, I am actually going to be celebrating my one year anniversary with my car this coming Wednesday and will be clay barring it and waxing it and every little thing possible, then take pictures. Maybe take it out to a movie, romantic dinner....see where that leads us :biggrin:

I second wizards. its really all that I use. And when you use wizards in conjunction with other wizards products you get a better final product IMHO. Everything they produce works well with each other. Great shines that last longer then others iv used.
Meguires is good wax too though.

Maguiar's for all the exterior and the multi-purpose oil-based Black Magic for the interior. armorall causes the dash to crack b/c it is water based and not oil-based. the water dries out the result is similar to getting leather wet and having it shrink dry. no good for dashes unless as mentioned above, it is applied at least once a week.

I got that as polish. It looks nice and lasts for a bit so I'm happy with it. I got the liquid ICE.

Chemical guys citrus wash and gloss, very good washing, leaves an excellent finish, can be used with a stronger concentration to remove wax and has a very smooth gliding when washing.
