Thanks guys, I figured there had to be something. $69.95 for Souveran, that's $20 more than the going price!

Thank you Todd, it was talking to you that made me decide to come over and take a look at what I've been missing out on!
Two things.JasonD said:
1. I don't very often shop Souveran prices.
2. I did find it as a sale item for $59.95 on a couple of sites, but I didn't find the $49.95 price.
Actually, it would have to come down a lot more than that for me to buy it. I've never ever heard anything but good comments abut the Souveran, but my S100 Carnauba for $14.95 at the Harley shop works good enough for me.

You mean @ Autogeek where they had it @ basically 50 or so? You can support them too. But with PAC prices may seem high, but they are just and competitive compared to other vendors. And Dwayne can help ya alot also!

Charles,
I haven't tried Souveran yet either. I normally use P21S (S100), and love it but wanted something a little more high end for my blacked out 04' Expedition, and from what I hear Souveran is THE carnauba for black. Actually, I plan on doing a coat of Souveran paste and then a coat of Souveran liquid and see how it comes out.
As of right now, the going price IS $59.95 but for past couple weeks Autogeek had it 25% off and Autopia had it 20% off, both labor day sales.

If you're wanting to order online, any of the Poorboys stuff will work well (assuming everything's instock!). I haven't found anything that wasn't a good investment yet from there.
If you're talking $50.00 off the shelf, and don't need to do more than 1 or 2 cars 'till you get more $$, I'd say get the Mother's clay kit, (I think it's under $15.00 in the States ?) which gives you the clay, lube (and qd for after you're done) and 4 oz. of wax. You don't really need the wax, as you say you've got both SSR1 and EX-P, but if you were starting right off from scratch, that would save you a few dollars.
I think Stoner's Invisible Glass works well, and that's under $4 (US) at Wal-Mart. What is it that you aren't able to clean? Smokers' residue? Outgassing? Just have streaks? MFs tend to be pretty good for glass, either waffle weave or mfs made specifically for glass (low pile) seem to work the best for me.
For the wheel wells (I don't do that as I've got gravel roads to travel, so it doesn't make a difference for long
) I've heard of people using a tire spray, black aerosol paint, and even Mop n Glo, but I haven't tried any of these personaly.
So far that's under $20.00 (without the wheel well stuff) and, assuming you've got applicators/towels, you'll be able to get vinyl/rubber protectant (I'd recommend a water based dressing) and car shampoo and still have a bunch left over, perhaps for a refreshing beverage (or 2) to reward yourself, although the true reward is the shiny car
