1. ONR or similar rinseless wash. It has so many uses beyond the obvious.

2. Website

3. Megs M205. Megs M205 is the most versatile on the market in my opinion. You can can, polish, and jewel with it based on technique.

4. Steamer. Another great versatile tool.

I agree with points brought up by AGOatemywallet as well.

[Mantilgh]

1. Optimum Car Wax - A real LSP in an easy spray form. Other lesser spray waxes for maintenance.

2. Clay mitt or other clay alternative - It's just so much quicker.

3. d-limonene(citrus) based degreaser/tar remover- APCs suck compared to these for real degreasing, and much more pleasant to use than solvent based ones.

4. Spray sealant - Just so easy

5. Waterless/Rinseless/Detailer/Clay lube product - Just so versatile

[hdez]

1. HD Adapt/Speed combo
2. Nanoskin Autoscrub Sponge
3. Wolfgang Uber Rinseless Wash
4. ONRWW
5. Edgeless MF Towel from TRC



3. d-limonene(citrus) based degreaser/tar remover- APCs suck compared to these for real degreasing, and much more pleasant to use than solvent based ones.


Which one do you recommend?

[LEDetailing]

No particular order

1. Grit Guards
2. Quality car shampoo (pick your favorite)
3. DA polisher and pads (pick your favorite)
4. Quality assortment MF towels (pick A LOT of your favorite)
5. Quality sealant or wax (you get the picture)

Either by luck or subconsciously I actually listed them in order:) missing polishes and interior stuff, but how many of us could pick just five items to detail a car.
