    Over on www.detailcity.com, they had a recent thread where people listed their favorite products. I thought this might be a good thread to have over here. First, the "joke" entry:

    Tires- Westley's Bleche-White.
    Wheels- TurtleWax 2001 CarWash
    Carwash-TurtleWax 2001 CarWash
    Wax- NuFinish
    Wax Removal- Old Shirt(remove buttons)
    Interior-Amorall Protectant Wipes
    Drying-Thread Bare Towels(cotton)
    Windows-Windex
    Windex Removal-Again an Old Shirt

    Ok, now onto the real list. Here's mine:

    Exterior
    Wash – Meguiar's Gold Class
    Clay – Blackfire PolyClay II
    Polish – Menzerna IP and FPII
    Glaze - Don't use it, but I'd try Blackfire GEP or Menzerna FTG if I had to
    Sealant – Klasse AIO/SG,, Zaino Z-5
    Last Step Product (topper) - Four Star UPP, Blackfire, Zaino Z-2
    Quick Detailers – Four Star UGE, Blackfire, Sonus, Zaino
    Wheel & Tire Cleaner – DP Wheel Cleaner
    Wheel Sealant – DP Wheel Glaze
    Tires – Blackfire Tire Gel
    Wheel Wells – 303 Aerospace Protectant
    Window Glass – Stoner's IG
    Trim Pieces – 303 Aerospace Protectant, Black Again
    Chrome Plastic – Klasse AIO
    Bumpers – Klasse AIO or same as paint
    Headlights – Wolfgang Plastic Glaze and Plastic Sealant

    Interior
    Leather – Four Star Leather Conditioner (former longtime Lexol user)
    Wood Panels – Klasse AIO
    Dashboard – 303 Aerospace Cleaner and Protectant (former longtime Meguiar's #40 user)
    Inside Windows – Stoner's IG

    I won't claim that any of these products are the best at what they do, but based on my experience, and that of others, I do believe they are all among the very best in their respective categories.

    Yikes, that's a lot of different products for one car! I guess it's the equivalent to "high maintenance" beauty routines for some women.

    Since the Prius is my first-ever brand-new car, I am trying to keep it looking nice, but I'm not willing to go that far.
