I just changed over to 3M wax and it out performs most I've used. Another thing I do is use Turtle Wax Ice on all the exterior plastic and rubber, shines for a long time.

I have no allegiance to any particular car WASH product. Right now I'm using "Coral Blue" because it was on sale when I bought it.

I use Zymol liquid wax a couple times a year. Zymol is a nice product to work with- it goes on smoothly, has a nice coconut smell, hand-buffs off easily, and the finish seems to hold up for several months. I tried Meguires Gold Class once and had spent two days trying to buff it off the car. Maybe I just got a bad bottle, but I'll never buy it again!

I keep the inside of my car very clean so I really don't need cleaning products for the interior. I vacume it at home in my garage.

I've read a lot of negative posts (on other car forums) about Armor All ruining interior surfaces over time. I don't know if it's true or not, but I stopped using it on my cars a long time ago. Now I just use a damp towel to clean the surfaces when they get dusty. I also have tinted windows so I am careful not to get any cleaning products (esp. with ammonia) near the tint.

i like to try different waxes when i go to the auto parts store i just check out what they have,i am a fan of meguires, cleaner wax, not so much the gold class wax, i used a new one yesterday, the meguires tech wax, works well, on and off easily, and smells nice. and i used the meguires quick detailer for interiors, and its good, i dont like the gloss of armor all, all it does is attract dust and dirt, and it stays on your hands forever, i quit using it a couple years ago. just my.02, and for the first time used a clay bar, and holy crap that thing is awesome, it pulled off 13 year old dirt, bad a** stuff that clay bar
