The Absorber XL Synthetic Drying Chamois, 29" x 18" This instant
I've used the regular Absorber for decades, and consider it a necessary adjunct to drying a washed vehicle (and have never even felt a compulsion to look at Sham-Wow because I'm extremely satisfied with the Absorber's results). I'm sure the XL will even 'raise the bar' on past drying results.Get more detail about The Absorber XL Synthetic Drying Chamois, 29" x 18".
Fiebing #PURE00P032Z 32OZ 100% NeatsFoot Oil Immediately
I am pleased with the product, and the only reason I am taking off a single star is of the delivery of the product. While the people who sold it made it right, and engaged in good and polite communication in resolving the "non-delivery" it was frustrating to hear it had "been delivered", when I didn't have it in hand.
Turned out instead of using FedEx as stated, they had sent it on USPS. Now that is okay since we have a locking package box here at the complex and I have never had a problem getting my "stuff" from USPS. This is where it got weird, the regular carrier had gone on vacation, and her replacement didn't recognize my name. The "3" on the shippping lable had gotten smeared a bit and looked sort of like an "8". So the key was put in the mailbox of unit "8", which has no-one living in it! Consequently, since you cannot just call your local post office anymore, I went through a bunch of "800" number hoops (if this press 1...)to get that box opened up. When I did finally get to some other carrier to check it out, here sat my order, for over a week.
Not the sellers fault, exactly, nor the USPS, exactly. A combination of events made for a frustrating delivery dely (sat there on literally on my door step for a week) is all.Get more detail about Fiebing #PURE00P032Z 32OZ 100% NeatsFoot Oil.

Meguiar's C-2100 Professional Detailing Clay, Aggressive Best Quality
First, if you've never clayed a car, do a little homework and learn how do it it properly first. It may be more work than you want to put in. I can say with confidence, you'll be shocked at the results you can achieve when you start by claying.
As a starter, clay is meant to remove bonded contaminants thereby giving you a smooth surface upon with to then polish and then wax. You know you car will benefit from claying by this simple test: Wash and dry it completely and then run your dry hand over the surface. If it's not smooth as glass there are contaminants boned to the surface that have to be removed if you want very high quality results from your detailing project.
Clay is basically fine grit suspended in clay for ease of use. Yes, that means it's like really fine sandpaper. It works by basically shearing off the contaminates from the surface.
All clay is basically made by the same companies in Japan becuase they hold the patent (as I understand it). Companies like Megs specify the quality and consistency they want and it is made to their specs. Megs specifies good quality clay (pliable, consistent grit size, etc) and hence their clay is high quality and consistent.
After you've washed your car completely with something that will strip all the wax off, like Dawn (only time you use something like Dawn is when you are completely detailing your car). Then you break off a small chunk of clay and flatten it into a pancake 2-3 inches in diameter. Get a good quality quick detailer, like Megs Quick Detailer, and mist a small 12 X 12 area and rub the pancaked clay gently back and forth over the area a few times. If you feel the clay grab, stop and spray more. The idea is to keep the area well lubricated. Then wipe that area with a quality terry or microfiber. Agin rub your fingers over the area. If it is smooth as glass you can move on to the next 12 x 12 area, else, wet and repeat. As you do this, you'll see the clay become dirty. When that happens, fold and kneed your pancake exposing fresh clay. When you can't expose any more fresh clay it's time to throw away that piece and break off a new fresh piece from the bar.
** IMPORTANT ** if you drop your clay pancake on the ground, throw it away and get a new piece. Otherwise it will pickup dirt from the ground which will then scratch your car if you try to use it. So, throw it away! It is contaminated! Even if you can see it, it is. You're trying to get rid of paint defects, not add them. So again, don;t try to save it! Chuck it!
That's basically how you clay. When you're finished you POLISH (polish is not waxing, it adds no protection. it removes scratches and further refines the paint for a high quality reflection) the car with a high quality polish like many sold by Megs. Depending on your paint's condition you can go with just a glaze like Megs #7 or if you have light micro scratches and/or swirls to remove a #9 or something even more aggressive. If you're unsure call Megs on their RX toll free line (it's on all their products) and they'll help you pick what's best based on the vehicle and your issues.
After you've polished, you wax. You'll notice that both the polish and wax come off a lot easier when you have a truly clean, smooth (i.e., clayed) surface. Then you stand back and enjoy the incredible results.
There are claying videos on Youtube and I think on Meg's site. Watch them before you begin your project. When I do an average sized sedan, "right" you're talking about anywhere from 4 - 8 hours total. This is no quick fix approach. We are talking about getting near showcar results even from paint that hasn't been well cared for. I've done enough of them at this point to feel confident in making that statement. My 99 indigo blue blazer turns heads becuase it looks like it just rolled out of the showroom.
I've used a few brands of clay at this point and I like Megs for it's workability and consistency. I mostly use Megs products based on years of built up trust in the quality of their products and the results I get from them. The Amazon price is hard to beat.
I hope this helps. Get more detail about Meguiar's C-2100 Professional Detailing Clay, Aggressive.
Meguiar's M10532 Ultra Cut Compound Get it now!
This is an amazingly fast compound. It does it's job in about a minute. No waiting for abrasives to break down. Polish for a minute and wipe off. Inspect and move on. Removes swirls and scratches very effectively. Needs #205 to finish to perfection. This is a breakthrough technology, IMO. This product saves me gobs of time. Clean your pads after every couple of passes. Works well with a rotary, DA or by hand. Surprisingly good correction with the DA.Get more detail about Meguiar's M10532 Ultra Cut Compound.

Mothers 10016 Reflections Car Wax - 16 oz Buy Now
This is an excellent synthetic sealant, and at the price being offered by Amazon, it's an outstanding value. It's extremely easy to apply and remove, and I have never experienced any streaking. I prefer it over Meguiar's NXT, which is a good product but can be finicky in application. NXT is also more expensive.
Reflections looks particularly good on dark colors. My car is black. Reflections gives it a deep reflectivity and shine but avoids that candy-coating look that characterizes some synthetic sealants. I have not tried it on a light-colored car.
Do not, however, apply it to plastic and rubber trim, and if you do get it on the trim, wipe it off. Reflections has light cleaners in it, so it will stain trim if left unattended.
Reflection is one of the best over-the-counter synthetic sealants out there. It is hard to find locally, but fortunately it is available through Amazon at this great price. I highly recommend it. Get more detail about Mothers 10016 Reflections Car Wax - 16 oz.
Rain-X 5071268 2-In-1 Glass Cleaner Plus Rain Repellent Order Now
Well if they were trying to increase revenue they have. I wanted to try this as well to save time... well bad idea. The cleaning seems to work really well for me and is super easy but the water beading/repellant is just as good as the original formula after it has been on for months. I am sad that I purchased the 2 in 1. I will try to contact rain-x for a refund. Not a good product, only does half the job.
I love rain-x and have been using it since I turned 16 on my first car but this new stuff is a gimmick and not worth the money! It might be good to use to buff the original formula to a streak free shine? but then again so is elbow grease. Get more detail about Rain-X 5071268 2-In-1 Glass Cleaner Plus Rain Repellent.

ArmorAll 10881 Leather Wipes Decide Now
It had been over a year since we'd cleaned the minivan seats. They looked pretty good, but I was surprised at how much dirt came off of them after using this product. I used 2 per seat. The container seems to seal well so the remaining ones should be ready for the next use.

Meguiar's G-9524 Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner. 24 oz. Right now
I just now used this product on a set of rims that had not been seriously cleaned in YEARS and that I had given up as a lost cause. But, as with many things, following the directions really worked. Wet the wheels, apply the product, let sit for 15 seconds, agitate with a (soft) brush, rinse (and repeat). Do one wheel at a time. In about fifteen minutes I ended up with a set of rims that, if they don't look new (they're eight years old), they do look good. As soon as I finish this review I'll be ordering several bottles.

Lowest Price Stoner 92186 Invisible Glass with RAIN REPELLANT - 22 oz.
I bought this item after reading reviews on other websites. It is really a good product. I see the clear difference on my windshield after using this. I still need to use wipers, but not as much as I used to.
The only comment I have is that this doesn't last longer i.e. it doesn't repel the rain for long time. You need to apply frequently. Get more detail about Stoner 92186 Invisible Glass with RAIN REPELLANT - 22 oz..
Low Price 3M Plastic Polish 39010, 8.0 oz Bottle
I bought this to improve the quality of my headlight covers as they were cloudy and my visibility was getting more and more limited. It works very well and is easy to use, however, if your headlamp covers are very cloudy it will take you several applications to get enough improvement. It is fairly straightforward, just apply a small amount with a soft cloth and then buff off with a clean cloth. The only issue I had with this product is that after being on the shelf for a few months it separated with an oily mass on top. It wasn't that easy to shake and get it re-blended either. I mean, it really took a long time to get it to remix. It is worth it, though! It increased the lighting by quite a bit and I passed the bottle around to all my friends with the same issue and they brought it back with a big smile on their faces! Inexpensive fix for a major safety problem.Get more detail about 3M Plastic Polish 39010, 8.0 oz Bottle.
Save Metro Vacuum Vac N'Blo Compact Car Vacuum
What a great machine. This is one of those things that just works like it should. It feels very sturdy and I love that it is made in the USA. A bit pricey but worth it in my opinion.
I am fanatical about keeping my cars clean. The suction from this little thing is better than my huge shop vac and unlike that vac this one is so easy to move around. Excellent assortment of attachments, too. Perfect for vacuuming carpeted steps!
Plenty of power for blasting the water off your car/motorcycle (although the neighbors may think you are a bit off!). I drove home in a downpour yesterday but got this thing out and blew the water off in the garage and then a quick once over with the detailer and the car was perfectly clean.
I do agree with other reviewers that some rubber feet would be a welcome addition but the lack thereof is not a big deal.Get more detail about Metro Vacuum Vac N'Blo Compact Car Vacuum.

Cheapest Oil Eater Cleaner Degreaser 32oz
This chemical is great for other applications, not just OIL. In full strength on OIL or OIL Base products it is awesome and works like the manufacturer states. It is good for all kinds of stains, especially carpet and rug spots, red clay deposits (like we have in Tennessee), and my favorite; eliminating messy inkjet ink from my hands and areas where it may splash or spill. I refill InkJet Carts and it is messy to say the least; so with Oil Eater, either full strength or diluted, it gets the job done. My wife used it for food stains during prewash. It gets out berry juices, and loads of other things. I have used it for years and would not be without it.Get more detail about Oil Eater Cleaner Degreaser 32oz.
Cheap Meguiar's G17616 SwirlX
I tried this on my car and luckily followed the directions and only applied a very small amount. It not only didn't remove my existing swirls it actually appeared to be making new scratches!! I used a brand new 100% cotton applicator pad and followed the directions and used moderate pressure. Then I wiped it off with a brand new cobra microfiber towel. I could actually see scratches where I had wiped the product off with the microfiber towel.
I learned a valuable lesson which I would like to share with everyone. Don't touch your paint with anything...Get more detail about Meguiar's G17616 SwirlX.

No more wiping them off by hand. I have always liked rainx on the outside of my windows but I have to say i was kinda skeptical when i saw it, but since it was a dollar cheaper overall with my wipers if i got it figured why not.

Shop For Zymol Z503 Car Cleaner Wax - 16 oz.
I have used Meguiar's, Turtle Wax, Mother's, 3M, etc. for decades. Received the Zymol Z503 liquid Cleaner/Wax as a gift. I refused to buy what I considered overpriced wax with a "perfume" scent and price, until now. This product is by far the easiest to apply, remove, and polish than ANY cleaner/wax I have used since 1971. It seemingly has much longer durability, particularly with repeated automatic car washes. My only slight dislike is the lingering scent, even after using latex gloves. Read and follow the instructions, and use the proper cloth for polishing and removing. I will use this product for "life", until I find someting better. Only wish Zymol could develop an "unscented" version. The best $10 you will ever spend on your car(s). Hands down.

Multi Purpose Metal Polish 2.2Lbs Can Flitz Metal Polish Top Quality
I bought this on a tip that it works on gas fireplace glass. If you've never had the fun and excitement of cleaning off the baked-on white residue from a couple of years of fireplace usage, let me tell you it is a chore. It is some sort of silicon deposit from what I've heard. The last time I cleaned them I used 3M rubbing compound and an orbital buffer. Even then it took about 30 minutes per panel (two panels total.) The Flitz stuff cut through 95% of the deposits in about five minutes of easy cleaning, all by hand, and I'm sure if I had broken out the orbital buffer it would have been even quicker. The glass looks fantastic. My next places to use it are a quite large stainless cook-top vent and the painted part of the fireplace. If it works well there I'm going to try it on some of our stainless appliances.
I recommend two buffing rags and one application rag (which should be damp bordering on wet.) Apply a dime-sized dollop of Flitz for about 1 square foot with the application rag, wait a few seconds, and then buff quickly with a soft cotton buffing rag, picking up the bulk of the residue. The second buffing rag should be a microfiber towel for best results, and it will remove the smeary leftovers of the first buffing towel very quickly and easily.
Every homeowner should have a can of this stuff in the garage. Five stars.Get more detail about Multi Purpose Metal Polish 2.2Lbs Can Flitz Metal Polish.
Washer Fluid Additive, 16.9 oz This instant
Rain-X Washer Fluid Additive works far better than I expected it to. I had serious doubts about getting the same results seen in the advertising, but after about a week of using the treated washer fluid my car's window was really "beading" water.
It is interesting to watch the difference between rain water on the treated area (where my wipers push the washer fluid) and the non-treated areas. It is very clear that this is working when you see the water quickly rolling away.
This is a great product! Highly Recommended!Get more detail about Washer Fluid Additive, 16.9 oz.

Meguiar's M-0716 Mirror Glaze Professional Show Car Glaze. 16 oz. liquid Order Now
Meguiar's products have been around since the 1930's at least. My dad used Mirror Glaze in his body shop, I've used it on newer cars with decent paint and the results were what I expected - The paint looks wet when it's dry. VERY deep shine. Top it off with a sealer, if yo don't it starts to wear off in about 30 days or so.
I'm kinda into the late 1940's gas station garage look, and this is the perfect product even if it's in a modern bottle. My first Mirror Glaze was in a glass bottle and I used it on a '57 Chevy Bel Air..

Meguiar's C-2000 Professional Detailing Clay, Mild Decide Now
I used this to clay my wife's 7 year old Saturn, which has hardly ever seen even a car wash. What a huge difference! Before the clay, the paint felt rough and grabbed the microfiber towel. After the clay, the paint was very smooth. After using the clay, I waxed it and the paint looks almost new. I also use this once a year on my 2006 GTO, which I keep detailed and very clean at all times. My paint is like a mirror! To use the clay, you'll also need detail spray (recommend Meguiars Ultimate Quick Detailer) and microfiber towels (good ones, like Monster towels from Chemical Guys). Claying the car also removes all of the wax, so you'll need to wax the car afterwards. I use Meguiars Tech Wax 2.0 for that. All of these items are sold here at Amazon. If you've never used clay before, don't worry, it's extremely easy to do. Check out Youtube for how-to videos. Anyway, this product is also an excellent deal, because the piece of clay is big enough that you can cut it in half and save the other half for another car. Definietly worth all 5 stars!Get more detail about Meguiar's C-2000 Professional Detailing Clay, Mild.

Mr. Clean AutoDry Car Wash System Starter Kit Review
I have used this for over a year and have been able to get good results on a dark car. Essentially, the only real useful part of this is the water filter that you use to rinse at the end to avoid any watermarks. With time, the hose connection will start to leak and spray all over you. The soap is OK and really any car wash soap can be used. The key is the filter.

Detailer's Choice 6312 Squeegee Car Dryer 12" This instant
This squeegee is excellent for cleaning early morning condensation from auto windows and side mirrors. In the process of removing condensation, it also cleans the accumulated dust. This saves water. Prior to purchasing this device, we either sprayed the car with a hose, or used towels and rags to dry the windows, which was a messy procedure. Clean windows are essential to safe driving. The handle on this squeegee allows more control than conventional long-handled squeegees - it is compact and we place it on the floor (with an ice scraper for frozen condensation) behind the driver's seat for easy access. In summary: this product is splendid -- it clears the moisture from the windows and cleans them at the same time!

Mothers Wheel Brush Buy Now
This is a great wheel brush (more specifically, for the rims). The size is perfect, the handle and its rubber grip make it comfortable to hold, and the head of the brush has rubber around it so the brush won't scratch the rims. The bristles are long and they are medium stiffness; it's the perfect balance of having decent scrubbing power while being safe on all wheels. The price from Amazon.com is perfect also; very high quality wheel brush at a reasonable price makes this an excellent value.
People should look elsewhere for a brush to scrub the wheel barrels and behind the spokes.
My only complaint is that Amazon.com does not ship this brush properly. I have ordered this brush directly from Amazon on two difference occasions and both times the brush is basically just tossed into a box or an envelope and upon opening the package, some of the bristles were reformed during the shipping process. This is no fault of the brush and I hope Amazon can figure something out to ship this item more carefully so that it arrives without any bristle deformities.Get more detail about Mothers Wheel Brush.

What impressed me the most is that if you spray this cleaner on your wheels and allow it to sit for 1 to 2 minutes and spray if off with a hose/nozzle that has a good velocity, it will remove 90% of the brake dust!!!. I use it weekly and only have to use mild agitation to get my wheels clean. It also claims to be safe on all types of wheels, which is really important to me since I have aftermarket wheels. Don't waste your money on any other wheel cleaner, especially P21S. Mothers FX Wheel Cleaner is hard to beat for the price. One word of caution, make sure you use it in a well ventilated area. It gives off some fumes that can make you cough if you get too close as you are spraying it.Get more detail about Mothers 20524 FX Wheel Cleaner - 24 oz.

Meguiar's G10307 Scratch X 2.0 Decide Now
I wanted this to work like others before it. I follow the written directions and get no results. seems to help with the faintest of scratches but other than that, no help. I tried a few times and got very little results. I will try with a friend who does detailing and try for other results.
Maybe my expectations were too high, like the latest summer sequel to an old franchise. Go in expecting small results. Will update if I see anything new happen with my next and maybe last try.
Car: 2003 BMW M3
Small scrapes on door from get open door knick and finger nail scratches at door handle.
Considering pictures. If I do that means this worked or tried other product and sharing results. Get more detail about Meguiar's G10307 Scratch X 2.0.

Low Price Mothers 20324 FX Tire Shine - 24 oz
This is a very good product for $6 a bottle. Way better than the other commonly available stuff from Kmart. For one thing, it is very thick, so a little goes a long way. Each application will probably last about 1-2 weeks, depending if it was raining.Get more detail about Mothers 20324 FX Tire Shine - 24 oz.
