Personally I have a variety of different Meguiars products and I love them. I know there are better products out there from smaller companies and that are more niche but I honestly don't have that kind of money. Only really expensive per ounce product I sprung for was Wolfgang's Paint Sealant

Other than that, a ton of microfiber cloths that have been fixed up to make sure no edges/tags/anything like that could scratch the paint.

some of my stuff

i got a ton of towels just kinda pointless to pile them up in the pic
i started a thread on this a little bit ago
https://mustangforums.com/forum/2010...ml#post7281356

my tips are..make sure you have different towels for different parts..I got towels that are only allowed to touch my paint, then I got got some for wheels, others for interior, then some for glass. I buy the expensive quality ones for the paint..and the large packs you get at walmart cheap work just fine for wheels, interior and windows. my other tip..Dont use turtle wax..haha

My preferrence is Meguars and elbow grease. I've always gotten a kick @ss shine.

start with a cleaner wax
then use a tech II clearcoat protector (it kicks @ss...the bird turds just blow off)
Then a coat of gold carnuba to deepen the gloss....
