So I've just been down to the auto-shop (not Repco/SuperCrap Auto) and the helpful guy down there recommended I use Meguiars products (click HERE for website) and lets just say I dont think i'll be using any other product from now on.

I bought the Meguiar's 'Hot Shine' tire coating and also the Rich Leather Foam products and I have to say they work awesomely, very impressed indeed! Leather seats look like new!

Anyone else have any good or bad experiences with certain brands of car-cleaning/car-care products?

Are you religious with a particular brand?

I'll second Alex (the not odeo alex) motion. Mothers is probably the best manufacture of these goods that you'll get outside of the refinnishing/detailing industries. Meguiers is very good stuff, don't get me wrong. But for me the ease of use that the Mothers brand provides makes it shine in my view.

I absolutely love it. I use everything of theirs except tyre shine. I just use the Valvolene stuff that smells like citrus. Works just as well as the Meguiars $20 a can stuff, only its $7 a can

i just use the supacheap $2 a can stuff which works just aswell IMO

for a wash i just use turtle wax and hot water $7 a bottle and it lasts ages


gets the car clean, but i dont have the best paint so it doesnt bother me with fancy expensive products

Im a fan of Meguiars Tech Wax on a dark color. It works wonders. I use their tyre shine also as it lasts ages.

I've used Meguiars Products for years just out of sheer marketing ignorance. I thought it was the ducks guts.

Until I tried Mothers.

Likewise, but replace "Mothers" with Turtle Wax Excellent products for exterior and interior. Mothers is also very good.

Meguiars does seem good due to their marketing. The tyre shines are the best out there although the Endurance Shine is a b*tch to apply....

I use a bottle of gypsy tears to wash my car. It makes a protection.

Still, you have a hippy living with you and you live near Pako St. Youd have the shit.

I use Meguiars leather foam personally. Seats always come up quite nicely after a good dosing.

+1. My seats came up like brand new after a good coating with this stuff!

I have this too, but i find it goes patchy, losing the gloss when its sat on or touched.
