What is your favorite car wash product?

Zaino - their polishes are the best.

Meguiars NXT

My favorite products--the ones I use the most (every weekend) are:

1> Zaino car wash soap
2> P21S Wheel Cleaner
3> Zaino Z16 detail spray with a microfiber cloth for post wash touch up

Meguiars Ultimate Wipes
Meguiars Final Inspection
P21S Bodywork Shampoo
303 Aerospace Protectant

Meguiars NXT
Zaino Z7
Meguairs Gold Class

All 3 are great.

I like Zaino.

I also like the eagle one wheel and tire products.

They have a wax-as-you-dry which I use for the daily car which sits outside. I dont want to make a big project out of washing it- so I use dish wash liquid to wash the car- this takes off most things that stick to the car- including wax. Then the wax as you dry puts a decent wax on the clear coat. It aint Zaino- but I can do the 7er in just under 2 hours- its a BIG car! Otherwise its Zaino all the way.

Ones with bikini clad hotties!!

Oh, wait.. products.. not car washes...

I use Zaino and P21s. I used to use Mequire's tire gel, but haven't seen it sold in a year or so.

I use Flash Car Wash.hiha

Don't laugh!

Why? Because I hate water spots.

Using Flash means that I don't have to seek the shade or use say P21S Gloss enhancer to take out the water spots. Zaino does not work on water spots. I don't think there is a wax or polish which removes water spots.

Also I don't end up scratching the car or creating more swirl marks by drying it myself.

I then remain free to put on any wax or polish I choose.

I currently use P21S Concours wax because I ran out of Z5.

Here's a great tip if you want to eliminate water spots: Rinse your car using the 'flood' setting on your spray nozzle. I have a rubber protective cover on my nozzle, so I just let the nozzle rest on the car and run the water as a final rinse. The results are amazing, no spots and you can dry the entire car with one towel. Check it out.

An addition to the above:

I remove my spray nozzle for the final rinse and lower the water pressure to a near trickle (shouldn't be a problem for the UK guys ). Water should sheet off if the car is well waxed. Then, with an ELECTRIC leaf blower, blow the car dry from top to bottom. This will get a lot of water out of the cracks and crevices. Then, drying with a towell can be accomplished very quickly.

Check out www.autopia.org for some great tips. There are a bunch of fanatics on that board and they use lots of acronyms, but it is a great source of info.

High pressure water! hiha
