autogeek.com

enjoy all the reading and tips and see whats out there in the high end world of autocare. Wolfgang seems to have good stuff and a trusted brand

Agree with Autogeek is a good site for reviews... They also have a online store.

I use Zaino products as they are easy to apply and work well.

Meguires are good products. Try the black paste wax. Its not actually black and meant for dark paints.

I'll third autogeek. I have ordered some really great products through them and there are tons of articles. Check out products from Pinnacle, McKees 37, Wolfgang. All great stuff. A little more expensive than the stuff you buy in the store but worth it IMO. Make sure to invest in lots of good quality microfiber cloths, take care of them, and remember that there are different types/sizes for different uses.

Adam's Polishes gets my vote. Tons of great products and how-to videos that go with them on their website. Not to mention that they're a forum vendor and provide discounts to members.

Another good suggestion^

I wash it first (2 bucket method), then use a clay bar, then will polish it with Maguire 205, then seal it with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealer. I'll do this twice a year...once after winter and once before winter.


Otherwise, I'll do the 2 bucket method wash and I'll use either Collinite 845 or, if in a hurry, I'll use Turtle Wax Jet Black spray wax.

I have a black truck and it's a huge pain in the a$$ to keep looking good.
