The Quick Shine from ClearKote that CJ posted definately has my interest, however. One finish product to do everything?

Never, ever put your HHR through a carwash.

For the past two years I have been using Zaino products. However, when I finally use up the last of my Zaino, I will be testing products by Menzerna and FK1.







For some interesting reading regarding car care, check out the following sites:

Ditto!

Also don't get Mr.Clean. Just put hose on low pressure, no spraying in the final rinse. Just let the water run over the car and most of the water runs off. This is a trick of good hand car washers as it takes less toweling off. Most of the water just sheets off on its own.

Meguiars 1st
Mothers 2nd- They have a great clay cleaning product also.

Thumbs up car care products

I have to agree with CJ, the Clearcote products really do a nice job and I've used a lot of different premium products. I recently treated the HHR and my Avalanche to a detailing with the Clearcote products and they were easy to apply and really made those vehicles glisten with a really deep shine.

OK, a lot of Meguirs (sp?) mentions. Is that sold in Autozone or the like? I don't remember seeing it around. And Zaino, is that ordered over the web?
