    Default Favorite Car Detailing Brands / Products

    Just curious what people are using for detailing these days.

    I'd like to get an interior leather cleaner / conditioner, exterior wax, scratch remover, things like that.

    Having not had a car I gave 2 shits about for 5 years I have been out of the game and see these Chemical Guys & AutoGlym products, but I'm aware they likely could just be a companies with cool marketing where some classic Meguiar's maybe does just as good a job for less.

    303 protectant is awesome for interior. Not shiny/greasy but makes leather vinyl and plastic just look clean and new

    Sonax for pretty much everything

    303 makes some awesome protectants

    A few places carry Sonax in town. But if you want a wicked place to go to, then go here - https://carzilla.ca/

    Recommendations for a one-step polish for new black vehicle to use with a porter cable orbit polisher. Just minor swirls to take care of prior to sealing with a ceramic coating.

    I don't think Uno is a good option for pre-coating polish. It'll prevent the coating from bonding properly.

    Just use CarPro Essence if you want to a single product that'll polish and prep prior to coating.

    Good point. I missed the coating part.

    I agree with using Essence as a one step.

    @gpomp what’s your recommendation for safety removing bug guts from bumper and mirrors between full car washes?

    I found this minor hairline scuff near my door. It's not major and unseen from far, but just unsightly and annoying to look at up close. It doesn't seem deep as I can't feel the scuff/scratch. Probably from my shoe or bag when getting into my car.

    Any recommendations on products for removing minor scuffs like these? As a bonus, if it also polishes tail lights and clear plastics, that would be fantastic. Thanks!

    I don't know why I feel like saying "toothpaste and a grinding wheel" is so funny, right now. It's not helpful!
    But for some reason I'm giggling in my chair like a simpleton!

    Sorry! Carry on.
