I pretty much use all Meguiars products. They do just as well as the high dollar items.

i use meguiar's nxt liquid wax, but what really helped the car out was mother's clay bar. i couldn't find meguiar's clay bar at the time. to keep the car looking nice, i really like meguiar's quick detailer, NOT the spray wax. i use meguiar's chrome wheel spray cleaner and a brush, and armorall spray tire shine.

I use Turtle Wax Ice. Used it on my last car (1998 Ford Contour SVT), and now that I got a black one, I really want something that is going to be streak free, which this stuff is.

I use the Meguires 3 stage line of products #1 is the paint cleaner, #2 polish, #3 a good carnuba wax, or the NXT gen 2.0 also works well for the waxing part. It's a pain 'cuz you have to get the paint cleaner and the polish off before it dries. Hard work but the shine is crazy. I have a BLACK '06 SS/SC and after that the paint looks so deep it's beutifull. If you get wax on any trim IE around the mirros it will turn it a hazy gray, thats when it's time to brake out the MOTHER'S BACK TO BLACK an extremly good product. It will do just what it says. The meguires stuff isn't the most expensive but give it a try, save some money and get great results!
