I'm not going to list off every product in my arsenal that I use and like, but rather, the ones that perform well for me and others, and continue to be talked about year-after-year.



Collinite 845IW or 476s are pretty much my go-to LSPs on daily driven vehicles. They have been used and talked about on this forum for years.



ONR, TBH I only wash with this when I have to (during winter or in direct sun), but it works well with minimal marring. I use it every wash to clean the doorjambs.



Hyper Dressing, I have had my gallon for 22 months, I dress wheel wells at every wash and on every customers car, and at 3:1 I still have some left. Isn't greasy and doesn't make future cleanings a PITA because it doesn't attract dirt.



Wheel Brightener, it will remove staining and oxidation from rims that would otherwise have taken polishing to remove. Just don't use it on polished aluminum.



Duragloss #901, I have found a car wash I am really satisfied with, a gallon probably gets me over 100 washes (not wheels, I use a different soap for that), keep in mind I use much more product than I need too. Nice lubricity, suds, etc. Just everything I like in a car wash. Can be found locally for me at Car Quest for ~$22 a gallon, IIRC.



Blackfire SRC Finishing Polish (aka PO106FF), even though it can do some filling on *certain* paints, I still love this stuff. It dusts lightly and is kinda oily, but when used properly it will remove compounding haze/fine swirls and leave an ultra-glossy finish. Just make sure to use IPA or prep-solv afterwards to remove the oils.
