Hey.
As a detailer im very very very interested in what you normal people who arnt so big on detailing use. I remember a poll a few years back so im doing another one. If i forget any brands forgive me. I know there is higher brands but most people dont use them so ive put down the obvious. I use a heap of different brands so. Glenn.

Majority of the stuff i have at the moment is meguires, with the Turtle Wax ICE polish. I used to use the California customs M-RON Polish, very happy with the Turtle Wax ICE, came out looking great and was VERY easy to use.
Have seen some good results with Pinnacle products and wouldn't mind giving them ago, although they are very pricey compared to Meguires stuff. |

I have a bootload (literally in the XB) of Meguiars products. I do however use Polyglaze Wax Real Quick for touch ups at shows and Kitten Tyre Rejuvenator.

Meguiars mainly but I've also got some Turtle Wax Ice which is great just before a show. Can do the whole car, lights, plastics and all it half hour and the result is pretty good on my 14 year old paint!
xbcoupe302: Yep the Feracla brand is great! We use it at work after a re-spray. G3 for the first cut, then G10 for a finer cut, then we use Auto Magic cream polish and finish with 3M swirl remover. The car comes up a treat!

Bowdens, you haven't seen a mirror finish until you have used this stuff properly.

Meguiars & Auto-Glym.
Meguiars, good results easy to use. Auto-Glym, excellent results, a bit more effort required.

Meguiars. Cleans really good, when I can be bothered to do it which is not very often.
My car hasn't been polished since I've owned it  :

For about 5 years. Have found nothing works as well. Was chuffed when I saw the detailer at the Melbourne Motor Show (2007?) using it on the Maybach
