I feel the word "Zaino" will be used a LOT in this thread. BTW, if Zaino makes it, use it- except for the glass cleaner. Invisible glass works just as well, and doesn't leave all the dust.

Meguires for the most part. I love their products. Didn't hurt that my wife purchased one of their nice kits as a Christmas gift last year.

1. Meguiarsrs Car Wash
2. Meguiars Drying Towel
3. Carlson's Polymer Sealant for first new paint application.
4. Meguiars Gold Glass Wax
5. Meguiars Cotton and Microfiber Towels.
6. Meguiars ScratchX for fine scratches.
7. Armoral for tires and interior.
8. RainX Wipes for interior and exterior windows.

Some of the Meguiars products you cannot buy in the store and you therefore have to buy directly from the Meguiars site.

Never heard of that one. How is it compared to Meguiar's or Zaino?
