The mothers products, especially the california gold wash can make paint sticky and lose it's shine. I'm no fan of meguiars, the PPG paints, Malco and Magnum Top Gar products i use are far superior in my opinion but however the professional line of meguiars and a few of their retail grade products are still of choice quality. Some of those wax as you dry products like the MALCO pro range eliminate the need for conventional drying. I haven't tried those yet, too busy with interstate trips
