I'm a big fan of Zaino products myself.

For interior cleaning, I like Meguiars Natural shine protectant. I don't like the greasy shiney look that most interior detailers leave. The Natural shine product leaves the dashboard/panels looking clean, not greasy.

I have had great results with both Mothers and Meguiar's  products, they are also available everywhere so it is easy to get what you need quickly. The Meguiar's clay bar is not as strong as I like but it does work for light contamination.

So everyone so far seems to like meguiars. I use the leather wipes but im not so sure about the interior. It kinda does leave a greasy look on everything but the seats. On the outside of the car I use the turtle wax ICE stuff. I got the whole cleaning kit from target awhile back and it came with a whole bunch of stuff. As far as tire shine goes I like a matte finish, I dont the wheels shinier than the car Cool
Ill keep these opinions in mind and keep em coming!

I generally use mothers clay bar followed by NXT 2.0  on the paint. Ibiz metal polish on aluminium wheels and exhaust components. For the engine bay I cover up all electronics, battery, fuse box etc. I remove everything up to the TB and clean/re-oil the k&N. I rinse, then apply Eagle One Aluminium cleaner vigirously agitating the engine and components with a soft brush, rinse once more and follow up with NXT Tech Protect on all rubber/black components.

I second the turtle wax ice the stuff works good especially if you are in a hurry and when u put it on the black plastics it give them that armoraled look for months!
