Please stop. I use to sell that sh!t for a few weeks until i found out what was in it... Its petroleum based with a whole lot of products which are not only bad for your car, the environment but also yourself... After working with it for 10 hours a day 7 days a week I got extremely sick, was constantly coughing, headaches and i got a rash on my hands which was extremely painful. Needless to say i quit and got a real job haha.

I used that sh!t to clean my wood trim once ages ago, it actually came up pretty nice and shiny but never bothered to use it again

Don't get me wrong it makes things look awesome... Briefly. But it does more harm than good.

My current favoured products:

Wash - Meguiars Gel, the pink stuff.

Sealer - Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant - easy as to use, nice deep shine and good durability

Wax - Natty's Paste Wax (320dT) - Space Grey metallic suits it very well.
P21S (325i) - more expensive than Natty's, easier on, much easier off (impossible to see on AW!), slighly more durable and a richer sheen on Alpine White.

Wheels - clean periodically with clay bar, and apply Poorboys wheel wax. Keeping the wheels tar and brake-dust fleck-free is an ongoing frustration. I might have to resort to the FI cleaner.

Tyres - meguiars gel - the newer clear gel (vs the old pink one) isn't as long-lasting but still OK.

Leather - I'd been using 1/8 Softly and no dressing but have recently tried Zaino - the cleaner I actually find excellent and really easy to use. The protector is perhaps a little pointless on coated leather like the BMW Dakota but it does leave a near-new matt lustre which seems to steadily wear off over 3-4 weeks.

Oh, and Rain-X...

Heres my run down.

Wash mit = Meguiars lambswool - this thing is about as soft and gentle a washer you could use. Absolutely love it. Doesnt hold and dirt or mess and washes out easy.
Micro Cloths = Micropak - all of these cloths are huge, extremely plush and do not scratch.

Wash - Meguiars NXT Gen2 and Gold Class both are great works nice and easy.

Polish - Meguiars Deep Crystal - Not really a polish more like a paint conditioner, gets it ready for wax. Really enhances the deep blue color of my car and makes it pop out with color.

Wax - Meguiars NXT Gen2 - Easy to use, gives a nice glossy finish. Doesnt hide the blue shine of my paint.

Wax - Swissvax Scuderia - When my car was professionally done last year he used Scuderia. The detailer prefers it to the more expensive swissvax concorsa. The liquid glossy finish was amazing, but it hid the metallic and blue shine and made my car look very black

There are a couple of waxes i would like to try, like pinnacle sovereign and some other lesser know ones that ive forgotten the name of lol

I've got some chemguys Jetseal 109 sealant and Concourse 50/50 wax on the way. I'm going to do a maroon lexus and black ML this weekend. Keen to see how it goes, but heard it's nice stuff.

I'm using PS21 cleansing polish and PS21 carnaunba wax excellent stuff really shines it is expensive but you only use a little at a time do it every two- three months but it lasts for ages.
