Name your favorite car care company.

Meguiar's... easy to get locally. Products are good quality for the money.

Hmmm, one company? I usually shop for products, and not companies. I don't care if no two products in my detailing bin are from the same brand.

I don't think I've used anything from P21S/S100 that disappointed me (other than paying for it).

Nobody likes einszett stuff?

Looking at the various bottles/cans in my garage...Meguiars would appear to be my favorite by default.

I used it several years ago. They changed the formula in Glanz Wax and it just did not seem to last a long time. I still have some of their red and green polishes I use for paint correction.

Yes, I did, before they reformulated to please environmentalists. (and we could only pick one) I am still using the old VOC formulas of red and green and like the way they work but I'm almost out. Everything I've read indicates that the non-VOC formulae are nothing special. Since it's difficult for me to get 1Z I don't see it being worth the effort. I'll probably pick Menzerna products to replace them.

There's no way to answer this question as there is no single company that makes the best of every type of car care products.

Although I use many, no favorites really, it seems like I use alot of "Black Magic" products(car wash soap, detailer, tire shine, wax). I have a stash (just like oil/filters) that I have purchaced on sale or closeout stores such as BigLots/Ollies. Mostly, wax while you dry and paint detail type products as this is about all I use after washing each time(my own vehicles). I do have some different waxes around and only use them once in a while and only on the top portions of the vehicles(hood, roof & trunk). With 4 cars in the family, I'm always cleaning one of them. And once in a while I'll take on a Detail Job. Have done detailing for over 35 years and I'm not doing much of it these days, just now & again. It's alot of work!

Products are:
ArmorAll
BlackMagic(silicone waxes) and products as mentioned above
BlueCoral
Bondo Back-to-Black(and I have used BONDO for body repairs too!)
Detailer's Choice(carnuba)
DuPont(compounds)
EagleOne
Meguiar's
Mothers
3M
TurtleWax
YellowWax
Zymol

Have you tried Sprayway glass cleaner? Many prefer it over IG and its cheaper. Avail at lowes, home depot, kmart etc. Meguiars profesional line is supposed to have a great cleaner. Around $18 for a gallon of the concentrate. Surf City Clearly Better is also very good but runs about $8 a bottle.

 

[NHHEMI]

It is impossible to name just one as there really isn't a company that offers everything you would need that is the best product.

Overall I like Meguiar's products and start there but 3M offers many things I like too. Sprayway is the best glass cleaner.

Zaino but for polish, Menzerna
