Most of the other things are subjective. Everyone has their preferences. Certain characteristics like ease of use and smell are more important to some than others. Some prefer the best results, regardless of its user-friendly (or lack thereof) characteristics.

With so many great products out there it really is hard to say which is the "best". The list of all the products in my ever expanding detailing arsenal reads like the Sunday Newspaper! Infact, a day of detailing for me starts with a rather extended "decision making session" because I love just about all the products I use. Some days I use a "system like" approach & some days I use a "combo like" approach. For instance, if I'm in a "Zaino mood" I use strictly Zaino products. When I'm in a "combo mood" I might use Chemical Guy's Shampoo,Optimum Polish,Klasse AIO,Clearkote VM or RMG,Souveran or Natty's Blue then QD with FK1 #425. ( you get the picture.) For a "quickie" session, I might wash with QEW then QD with Crystal Mist,QuickShine,Spray & Gloss,Z6,Z8 or FK #425. My "extended quickie" sessions lately have been a good wash,QD w/#425,a layer of FX-100 then a follow up QD with #425. So many products......So little time!!! Have fun,experiment & enjoy the process!!

So many things come into play when selecting the best products. Do you want reflectivity or depth – what kind of durability – ease of use – cost – probably one of the most over looked is the color and type of paint. I like Zanio on my light silver colored daily driver because of durability and brings out the metallic in the paint. I like Souveran on my black street rod that has 15 coats of clear, extremely deep dark black without any metallic in the paint. There are a lot products and the division between them are getting closer and closer – so have fun choosing your favorites and be sure to let us know why you feel that it the best combo.

This question always comes up and I usually try to refrain from answering. My usual response is whatever works for you. If you are happy/ecstatic with the results from the products you're using, that's all that matters. There are numerous products on the market and everyone has their favorites. What it comes down to is the prep as previously mentioned. Without that key factor, you might as well just slap on a coat of something and call it a day.

15 clear coats!! man, I wish my XR had so many. I think Toyota just put like 1 or 2 on it
This makes me want to buy a few cans of aerosol clear coat and spray it on myself
My XR's also metallic black and the Souveran does look good on it.

Exactly, the prep is most important.
I'll surely give that Nattys stuff a try though, seem that lots of people like it.

I'm a big fan of carnuba, only have used souveran on my black c6. Tried
menzerna polish, will try nattys blue this weekend on the c6. Really liked
the menzerna polishes. I do use wolfgand sealant on my parents cars since
i can not clean them as often as mine.

I'm also a fan of Souveran and just recieved my order of Menzena Polishes and Natty. I use VM and RMG with Souveran I think RMG adds to the depth.
