Still part of my formula, although I find a topcoat of Fuzion after the Z stuff is best for shows.
No really, DG, I swear.

Re: If you were going to use products from only one company
If you are going to go after a company that offers everything under the sun for the vehicle without missing a beat then it would have to be Meguiar's. IMO Meguiar's has the most complete lineup of products needed for whatever you may come across.
Other companies come close and some are right up there with Meguiar's but in this case Meguiar's does it all with a long history of knowledge and know how. That right there is key.

Sal has made a lot of nice products, my hat's off to him. In fact, I found a bottle of Sal's Vinyl-Rubber Treatment I didn't even know I had, bought about 2 years ago, and only discovered 2 weeks ago. It worked nice.
His Leather Conditioners, his sealants have all worked quite nicely. Sometimes a bit difficult to remove, seemingly a bit tempermental, but I've had basically good success with them here in the Desert Southwest on any given day.
Like others have found home uses for many of these great products, so have I.
My VPI Turntable currently sits, lathered with Sal's Z2 Sealant. Looks like I shot clear Laquer on the Oak Base, it glows, and has gotten high praise from the manufacturer themselves as a job well done. I've got $6,000 hanging in that Turntable. (A cheapie in the actual realm of things audio)
One downside with so many fine products, and one that some might ignore, is Meguiars.
Meguiars makes so many fine products, but sadly, one cannot walk into any establishment, and find their entire line of really good products. Just dribs, and drabs here and there, and IMO it makes Meguiars somehow look like the "Turtle Wax" of the car care empire.
For ease of use, #20 Pro Poly Sealant is one of the easiest on-off products I've ever used period. And I always liked it. Mark

Meguiars.
But then, I'll add that I am constantly trying new stuff to find the best of breeds in waxes, selants, polishes, pads, etc.. So, my tub of goops and unguents is quite mixed. Meguiars, though, always offers at least a good product for each category (and sometimes the best that I've found . . . so far.)

Meg's all day. Naturally as an enthusiast I use and love to try other brands. There are many high quality brands that offer great products such as Menzerna.
I think a good detailer sticks to one line of products, but a GREAT detailer uses a variety of different product lines that maximize the brands strongpoints and caters to the desired outcome.
For example I use alot of Mother's quick detailers. I use Megs polishes, compounds, sealants. Optimum washes, CG tire cleaners etc. In my personal opinion Meguiar's has proven itself to be a top contender in the world of production as well as enthusiast detailing. M26, M21 & their pads are the most under rated products IMO.

If we're talking about one brand, I would go with Optimum or Meguiars. Having said that, I'm a detail/spray wax junkie, so I do stray. LOL
If we're talking one stop shop, then AG for all the usual reasons.

Agree. I used to shop at ADS until they ticked me off, they never have anything in stock!
