Adam's Polishes has a great line of stuff. I've been very happy with all of their products. Plus, it smells good. My wife always knows when I'm detailing the Z

I use the ones sold at Autozone Walmart etc...Mequires or Mothers.
Both are OK no issues.

For a black car I found Turtle Wax for Black and I do like that product.

Here is a new turtle wax Total Detailer that I bought it seems to work good without leaving a cloudy or smeary film. It also can be used on glass so it's a all in one Detailer.

I have several gallon jugs of Blackfire waterless wash with hand spray nozzels.
Very simple and quick for removing dust.

Currently , Blackfire , previously , Lucas oil Slickmist and Chemical Guys spray on Carnuba Wax , all are great product . For those with Black , Red , or "coloured " paint , try Chemical Guys Butterwax , the shine is unreal .

I have used many of the quick detailers by most of the major players.
Mostly all of them were pretty darn good.

However for the same amount of effort and time I moved to this stuff below because it actually adds CARNAUBA which extends the life of the base of wax already on the car AND adds some extra protection/gloss.

https://www.turtlewax.com/shop/produ...-wax-16-fl-oz-
$6 bucks at Walmart.

I use Zaino Brothers show car polish as my base.
