Makita 9227

Menzerna polishes (worlds best paint polishes)

my permanent trim polish (patent pending) no detail is ever finished until I use that

Driven to Perfection Quick Spray concentrate (best spray on shine product on the planet. restores all lost gloss, enhances colour, 3 month sealant, glass polish/cleaner, awesome with rotary and soft foam pad at 800 to 1200 rpm.



Narrows the gap between factory and showcar paints



Permagard paint sealants (PD5000 and Reactive (makes anything shine)

Glare Zero (pre polishing prep. softens paint before polishing, hardens it afterwards)

Glare Knockout (best non abrasive polish ever - restores just about anything)

Toughseal step 1 (used with rotary and LC white to blue pad to clean the clear coat pores, remove oxidation, enhance paint gloss and make paint silky smooth prior to abrasive polishing)

Four Star Ultimate Paint cleanser (works on paint, trims, windows, wheels, interior, unpainted plastic moldings

Clay magic blue bars (what would a detail be like without clay)

In no particular order:



1) Makita vertical rotary polisher



2) 3M masking tape



3) 1Z Paint Polish



4) SR Engine Degreaser (Japanese brand): absolutely the best way to clean filthy, pitch-laced wheels, tires and wheel wells (and engines, of course).



5) Optimum Poli-Seal: my new favorite one-step product! (1Z Met.PolishWax is just as good, but doesn't last)



6)Cyclo Polisher



7) Megs' Body Brush



8) Collinite 845



9)Pak-Shak Ultra-Smooth MF towels



10) And I can't choose between 1Z Glanz Wax, Optimum Opti-Seal or S100 Carnauba wax - all used for different reasons/ results, depending - all great products. . .

Great topic. Not necessarily in order:



ONR - really should be 3 entries as it is a great wash, detail spray & clay lube

Any Pakshak MF towels - I'm addicted

Collinite 476s/885 - I no longer fear my long winter (Thx Accumulator)

4*UPPS - gorgeous depth & shine achieved with such ease (Thx Patrick)

303 Aerospace protectant - great finish, very effective

OCW - great shine, so easy

1Z polishes - user friendly and excellent results (Thx again Accumulator)

Nevr-dull polish - works great, worth the stink

Pinnacle ultra poly clay - cleans without marring

Porter Cable 7424 - my arms & shoulders got a vote



(I'm still a newbie & there are so many products to try & love)
 
I wonder if someone could add up the items listed and determine which products are mentioned the most. ONR and FK 425 seem to be mentioned a lot.
 
1. ONR

2. DG 901

3. MEGS HYPER DRESSING

4. MEGS APC

5. SURF CITY GLASS CLEANER

6. CYCLO / DG 501 - Awesome Paint Cleaner

7. PC / DG 105 - Awesome Paint Protection

8. FLEX DA / MEGS 105 - Awesome Paint Correction

9. Assorted MF's (Viking, Cobra, Target)

10. Pressure Washer with Foam Gun
 
ONR has been listed approximately 18 times, and several people have listed it as number 1.



Does this mean that it really works as advertised, and that I should try it? ;)



Seriously though, if you have easy access to a garden hose, good weather, etc., what is the advantage to ONR?

Besides not having to drag around a hose and to balance multiple wash stages, ONR is safer than your conventional wash since you don't actually push the dirt within the soap solution. It encapsulates the dirt and makes it safer, quite contrary when you're using less water.

I have not been too impressed with Werkstatt. I am really enjoying Opti-Seal though.



If the thread title stipulated 11 instead of 10, it would have made it. Actually, what I really like is using Prime as a base for Opti-Seal.
