Seeing mikenap's reply in the Duragloss Rinseless Wash w/ Aquawax thread " I'm not sure if it will replace ONR for me since I use it for a lot of other things besides washing," got me thinking. What are other uses you guy using your products on other than their intended purpose? As an example I use my OPC for general cleaning around the house and I also use Optimum IDGE on my flat panel TV and lap top screen.
 
I use Megs QID for display cleaning. Haven't yet but plan on using ARO on patio furniture in the Spring. OPC for cleaning appliances.
 
I use Diamondiate's glass polishes in my shower, and Meguiar's Window Cleaner everywhere (that the EPA will let me)
 
I always enjoy these threads as it gives a lot of ideas.

Meg's Glass Cleaner-Everywhere, especially for household stuff. Also use it to remove polishing oils from paint. Thanks to Kevin Brown for that idea.:yourrock

ONR-Again, just about everywhere. It's a great light-duty interior cleaner as well. Also good for laptops and nav screens. FWIW, I always mix ONR with distilled water.

Sealants- When I get bored, I like to wax or seal the kitchen sink. Not that it really helps that much, but my wife's reactions to it are usually hilarious.

OPC and APC+ for cleaning stovetops. Always follow that with ONR too, to remove any residue and get rid of streaks.

Buffers can also be used to polish light scratches out of DVDs, CDs, and Blu-Rays. Thanks to Barry Theal for that idea!:yourrock too!
 
I have few...

Megs NXT2.0: wax for my golf clubs. (I want to try and use it up. I don't like to be wasteful.)

Armor All APC: General household cleaning. (I got it as a Christmas gift from a well intentioned person. Again I don't like to be wasteful.)

XMT Polishes: Cleanup my fiberglass shower surounds.
XMT 360 / Menz PL / Opti-Seal / WG DGPS - Seal and protect fiberglass shower surounds as well as durability testing

Opti-Seal / Colli #845: Seal snow shovels (Soon to be Opti-Coat)

Stoners Invisible Glass / Fog Fight: Bathroom Mirrors

FK 425: LCD Screen Cleaning
 
I keep a little 4oz pump bottle of Meguiar's QID at my desk to clean my computer and TV screens.

I use my steam cleaner for everything around the house, duh.

P21S metal polishing soap for ceramic stove top and of course anything metal around the house.

Car Brite Xtra duty to clean shoes, esp leather ones.
 
I use Collinite 845 on the tiles in my shower, beads like crazy...lol.

Like most I use Meguiars Glass Cleaner on all the glass around my house (that's a bold faced lie...my WIFE used Meg's Glass cleaner on the windows...lol).

I also have used Poliseal to remove some light scratches out of out black appliances in the kitchen. Worked like a charm!
 
Hmmm... I have a couple of neglected bottles of XMT360 and a dirty shower. I know what I'm doing tonight!

EDIT: what the hell is wrong with me..!?
 
I use APC+ around the house and for shoes, also carpet stains. Leather conditioner on the couch. Certain sealants on bathroom counters, sinks, walls of shower. Makes cleaning so much easier.
 
you can use auto leather products on coated leather in the house but for aniline leather, I find it makes the furniture too matte looking...
 
Dodo BTBM= For my hair DUHHHHHH!
Poli-Seal= To keep my dentures in place and it seals out the food stains as a bonus.
BF tire gel= For my hair.....2 coats if I am clubbing for extra gloss
Dodo Orange Crush= For my toast. Taste just like orange marmalade but without the rind pieces.
Menz Power finish= One tablespoon if I am constipated.
Griots carnauba wax stick= Only deodorant that last when I'm out for a swim.
BF Midnight Sun= When I want to chill out to some Corey Hart after sundown.
3M 3inch painters tape= Silences the kids next door if they are making too much noise.
