More than just flavor of the month

You WILL like my work!
Just wondering what products you guys have used enough now that have proven out to be more than just a flavor of the month. E.g. ONR, M105, etc.
 
Good idea for a thread. A lot of my cronies and I discuss this on occasion.



ONR is just as much a staple as S&W, even though I use them for different things.



Z16 has pretty much replaced BnB, which I never would've thought possible only because I loved BnB so much.



I haven't used anything but Menzerna polishes in ages now. SIP, IP, and FPII.



My go-to sealant is still UPP, although I do use FMJ on occasion.
 
FK 425 - looks good (especially on metallics), cleans pretty well, lasts a bit, doesn't streak, great on glass



Showtime - great OTC QD, does everything well (for a QD)



Quik Shine - another good do-it-all QD



Z8 - looks really good, lasts for a spray, doesn't streak, smells good



EO AW&TC - works well on wheels and tires, leaves no residue (which will attract brake dust)



AJ - looks good, durable, easy to use once used to it



Z-AIO - looks good, durable, easy to use



#845 - looks good, beads incredibly, durable, spreads easily/removed easily if not allowed to sit



Meg GC/1Z/DG/Z Car Washes - Like 1Z the best, but all good



Last but not least.. the MF towel (in general). They work (and keep working) better than most cotton towels.
 
I have a boatland of stuff being shipped. Among them, Flex 3403, Einszett Intensiv Pasta (=SIP or IP), Einszett Hochglanz Politur (=106ff), LC CCS pads & Foamed Wool (yay!), Riccardo clay, and a couple other things. I will report back.



Oh, and I officially now have joined the ONR club. :)
 
M105 and NXT 2.0 are the ones I keep coming back to. Oh, and Collinite 845 in the late fall, to get ready for a winter season.
 
I love anything that Mother's produces. Their wax is top of the line and they last like no other product I have used before. They are lower priced than a lot of the specialty waxes others are buying and the results are superior. They are easy to apply and easy to remove. Unlike a lot of items mentioned on here they are easy to find and most of the time they don't have to be ordered.
 
Zaino Z10 leather treatment.

Zaino Wheel Dressing.

FK425 Detailing spray after every wash.

Z8 on occassion.

Manzerna polishes.



As for Glaze or Wax, that varies per car. Glaze I'm still looking (though if you don't need fillers, Danase Wet Glaze is nice). Having a Black car, I go back and forth between Carnuba and Synthetic protection. Natrual Wax for warm months, I like One Grand Blitz. For cold infrequent washing months, I like 1Z Glanz Wax. I also use Glanz on my wife's outside, silver car, all year.
 
ONR for wash

Duragloss 902 for old-fashioned wash (rarely do this unless very dirty)

ElastoFoam for claying

Megs M105 w/ purple foam-wool for heavy paint problems

Menz SIP on LC CCS orange or white for moderate swirls

3M Ultrafina on LC CCS white or black for fine swirls and holograms (use Menz 106FF for the hard clears)

Danase Wet Glaze

CG Factory Seal for Sealant

JW AJT for sealant maintenance

P21S Carnauba for black and red type colors

and finally...FK425 as a quick detailer



...and that's my story. One product for each process I do. The ONR, UltraFina, JW AJT, and FK425 are my MOST commonly used products.
