Cool Car Grooming Products - What Do U Use 2 Keep It Blinky?

Am not sure if theres a thread similar to this, but anyway, just wanted to know the difference of products that you guys use to keep your ride clean and shiny...

As for me, besides:-

Meguiars (MG) Foam Applicator Pad (5pcs), Deep Pile Chenille Wash Mitt, Duo-Fiber Glass Super Towel, Quik Interior Detailer, Water Magnet Drying Towel (friend gave bought it for me), ScratchX (done with it, so so only), Show Car Glaze (No.7), Synthetic Sealant (No.21)(good on light coloured cars, for dark coloured cars, NXT is fairly good), Car Odor Eliminator (tried better ones), Zaino's Custom Polish Applicator Pad (3pcs), Zaino's 100% cotton & microfibre towels (this is very good!), Diax ClayBar (for metallic/non metallic), M6000 Solvent, strong chemical remover (something a friend gave that would remove all stubborn dirts/stains/etc), glass chemical (removes all rain stains etc. on glass), a sprayer, an air compressor, some toothbrush (Oral-Bs), various different kinds of brushes (local made), tyre wax (local made & last longer than MGs), 10pcs cotton towels, 4 pcs local made microfibre towels, 3pcs local made microfibre applicators...

and a few more items i may have missed out...


these are my collection...




bragging rights! hohoho....though nothing to shout about..





This is a 'MUST' buy product for white cars!





My next item that I'll grab my hands on would be :-

1) MG Detailing Clay - Aggressive
2) MG Gold Class Vinyl/Rubber Protectant
3) Zaino Car wash Shampoo (I'd go for this instead of the NXT)
4) Zaino Detailing Clay (everyone says its great, will try it)

Does anyone here recommend any better products? I'm willing to try others, but would love some feedback on them. Am not a hardcore fanatic for car grooming, just a little on the upside of making sure my ride isnt in a horrible condition.

I only use Pinnacle products, Swirl Remover, Paintwork Cleansing Lotion, Liquid Souveran wax, and Souveran paste wax. I apply all but the Souveran paste wax with a Porter Cable 7424 electric polisher. I use Edge 2000 buffing pads to apply and use only microfiber towels to remove by hand.

God dammit your going to make me pull out my WHOLE collection? Fine, I will....look forward to some pics sometime in the next 7 days of more products than you or most anyone else would ever need. Oh, and I'm not typing everything I have...well, maybe I will, but it will take about 1.5 hours (at least ). In the mean time, everyone can post a "This thread if worthless without pics" smiley.

EDIT: Pics On Page 3

Once I get my next paycheck I'm going out to buy some more stuff.

Mitchubishi,

great, awaiting for you to share with us as I would like to know more with regards to other products available in the market that is worth buying/using. As for me, being in Malaysia, all these products dont come cheap. We pay two/three times more than any of you for MG/Zaino/Zymol.... sigh...


Shiney Monkey? Heard of it but cant get a hold of it in my country. Sigh..


hanahawaiian,

you own a hot rod shop? gee.. you ought to have lots of extravagant products/materials around. Do share your experience if you can. Thanks.

I'm just waiting on a shipment of some stuff that'll be here sometime this week, then I need some free time and the use of my friend's digicam. I have quite a few companies and a multitude of products for each step of detailing...
