It's been a while since we've had a "must have" thread, so...

Honestly, I could just give up everything else and stick with the Optimum line. While there are better individual products, the Optimum system works so well and makes detailing easier. Now if I could just get Opti-clay.....



:werd:



The Optimum line is amazing. I have just about everything they make and I can honestly say that most of the other stuff in my cabinet has been collecting dust since I started using the Optimum stuff. Great stuff that all plays well with each other.
 
Car Soap: Meg's Gold Class Shampoo

Reason: Gentle, smells great, PH neutral and it leaves the paint feeling amazing.



Microfibers: Meg's Ultimate Wipes.

Reason: I have a really cheap source for them in bulk, they excel at product removal and are sturdy without inducing swirls.



Compound: M105

Reason: Powers through nasty swirls/scratches with ease, cut is adjustable with pad choice and it doesn't marr the surface very badly like most heavy compounds.



Finishing Polish: M205

Reason: On a W9207 2.0 finishing pad, it is just unbeatable IMO.



Glaze: M80

Reason: Capable of light correction work, leaves incredible gloss and is great on single stage classics.



Wax: M16/Souveran/Natty's Red

Reason: One for all around protection and beading (the workhorse), one for short term beauty and for car shows (beauty wax) and one for times when shade just isn't an option (fall back LSP).



APC: Meg's Safe D-greaser

Reason: I know its discontinued but it is just such a versatile product. Depending on dilution, you can accomplish pretty much everything. I hear APC+ is very similar but I'll stick with this until I have to switch.



Interior Dressing: M40

Reason: Not too greasy, not too shiny, smells great, top notch UV protection and is easy to work with. What else could you ask for.



Tires: Westley's Bleche-Wite.

Reason: Nothing powers through tough tire grime like Westley's, I love making nasty brown lettering and whitewalls on tires the color they should be.
