. Their tyre shine is OK. I use mostly Poorboy's products with a PC along with vanilla moose wax. I have tried NXT, Zaino, etc., and the Poorboy's stuff does a good job.

i know it sounds weird, but put a little rubbing alcohol in with water to spray/wipe after you get done waxing and buffing, it really brings out a wet shine. cheap and inexpensive.

Used by Team Emotion with great results. They started with a "no-spit" tire shine product, and now have a complete detailing kit and more!

I think they have some of the greatest products. Their Speed shine is the best. Local here in WA state.
I use Mothers stuff as well.

I use mostly Zaino products. Their car wash, swirl remover, polish, wax, medium gloss tire dressing, glass cleaning paste, and their leather care products.
I use P21S wheel cleaner, Meguiars interior spray, Mother's metal polish, and simple green for odds and ends.
I've tried all kinds of stuff from Meguiars, Mothers, Zymol, Eagle One, Turtle Wax, Klasse, etc.. I pick and choose what works best for me.

I've always used Zymol and Meguiars products.
Now that i've got a car with all leather seats, i need to find a good leather care product.
Any recommendations to keep my Recaro's in top notch condition without them getting greasy or getting crap on your clothes?

I love Zaino Bro too... but then again, its too tedious for weekly affair. Thus opting for MGs, much easier. For those who love using the NXT Tech Wax, I know why... Its so simple and its a breeze to wipe off. Furthermore, its good for dark coloured cars. It brings out the colour and shine on it. As for me, Am I se MG's 21 for waxing as to me, its better than NXT for light coloured cars. Try waxing it every alternate day, you'll see the difference. Tried and proven.

awesome... the 3M PERFECT-IT III is good, soft compound. My MG No.40 (Vinyl Rubber) burst, i dont know why and didnt put it under the sun, sigh. how do you reckon on the lower range MG? Wished I could be in the US, MGs are dirt cheap there and we're paying twice the amount it cost and also we make 3.7 times less in my country... sigh.... arrrgh!!! why am i in a 3rd world country?????
