will also be trying poorboys world when i can afford to make a large order for all the ones i want.

i think thats bout it !
 
No Touch Tire Care Products: I have used the spray (foam) cleaner/shine as a wheelwell dressing and used it some under the hood. The shine does not last too long in those areas, it never completely dries (leaves white "specks" and needs to be wiped), it slings if used on tires, and the whole spray application is messy.

Clay Magic Bars: Very good product. However, I use the Mother's more often because it seems to be more delicate on the finish in my opinion. The Clay Magic blue bar is a little more aggressive than the Mother's bar. From what I've gathered, a clay bar is a clay bar as they are all made by two or three manufacturers in a couple of different grades.

Meguiars Clay Bar Kit: My least favorite OTC clay.

Dupont Automotive Products: Tried the whole lot of Teflon line stuff when it came out. Wasn't too impressed if I recall with the exception of the tire shine. I think it was really good stuff and lasted longer than most OTC tire dressings with minimal to no sling.

NXT car wash and the 2.0 sealant are the two most impressive Meg's OTC products for me. Wally World used to carry the NXT wash, however I haven't seen it there in a while. The new Ultimate QD I believe it's called is a very nice compliment to the 2.0. I do not like Hot Shine Tire Gel, and have a bottle (used once) that I'll probably be giving to my brother.

HTH.
 
p21s gel wheel cleaner, very good wheel cleaner, safe and effective
Meguiars Clay Bar Kit, for $15 at Walmart I really like this kit, not aggressive so I use it for cars that have already been clayed previously, windows, wheels and exhaust
Eagle One NanoWax/nanowax spray, good stuff, I prefer DG AW or Opt Car Wax
RainX 2 in 1 glass cleaner and repellant spray, I do not like rain X repellant

Meguiars - NXT car wash, Good stuff but I switched to Rinsless washes
NXT spray wax, Did not like it, rather use OCW or DG AW, both are a lot easier
NXT 2.0 I like this a lot
hot shine tire gel I use this often
Hyperdressing I have not used yet but will be getting some
 
I have used:
No touch tire cleaner, this product came out in the 80's
i thought it was the greatest at the time but found out
the stuff would never dry completely.
Dupont wheel cleaner have it and it works
great spray on wet wheel use a paint brush to work it
in hose off,cleans the dirtiest wheels.
Eagleone nanowax liquid. didn't like it, it would haze at
times. The paste would glide on but you had to rub
kinda hard to remove it, left a good gloss, I gave it
away. There are much better products on the market.

No Touch Tire Care Products ???
Used it for wheel wells for a short time. Didn't seem to be worth the effort let alone buying it.

Clay Magic Bars
Only clay I have ever used. Seemed OK. I now have some Mother's clay which I have yet to use.

Meguiars - NXT 2.0
IMO, an excellent OTC product. One caution. It will stain black trim. Don't get it on the trim and there's no problem.

All Purpose Cleaner Plus
I used the original APC+ which is now called All Purpose Cleaner. One of my favorite products. I have not used the new APC+

I have and use:
PB's APC, Bold N Bright, S&W, Pro Polish, PwC, PwS, SSR 2.5, MF towels.
All have done the job they were intended for quite well.
