since i have started to personally detail my auto 3 years ago... i have used so many products and techniques from so many forums.. hehe medyo OC na nga eh.. as of now i think im contented with this current set up

car shampoo(personally i don't see any difference sa mga brand)
next
polish( meguiars dual action cleaner polish) nagkaka talo lang mga brand ng polish sa aggressiveness nila o abrasiveness
next
wax ( turtle wax) base wax ko ito kasi talagang matigas pag nag cure, mas makunat ito keysa branded waxes.
next
meguiars nxt tech wax 2.0 ( superb beading and shine) pang ibabaw sa turtle wax na layer. pag nauna ito ilagay matatangal nang turtle wax ang meg's
next
mothers reflections top coat ( napaka kintab at add ng additional sacrificial layer) pang top up na lang

cost effective and performance wise ok...
