Croftgate is the only way to go, IMO.
Easy on, easy off, and GREAT shine. :2thumbs:

^^^^^ Yup. ^^^^^
I use WASH 'n WAX for my regular cleaning, it works on the whole car (Body, Windows, Wheels, Bumpers).
MULTI-CLEAN is great for removing heavier stuff like road grime, bugs, tar, bird droppings, etc.
I carry a spray bottle of AQUINL-X with me at all times. A couple of micro fiber towels and the AQUINL-X, and I can clean and shine the car anywhere, no water required. Also, a 50% water/AQUINL-X solution is the ****nitts for clay barring, and no pre or post washing is required.
Quick-N-Slick is hands down the easiest polishing/detailing product I've ever used. Super shine with virtually no effort. Apply, wipe, allow to haze, and wipe off; that's it!
Tire Shine is great stuff, too. No petroleum solvents, so no drying out of the tires or other rubber components (trim, moldings, etc).

Dude, it's a wax with no cleaner in it. The surface has to be thoroughly clean before using it. You need a cleaner/wax combo if you want to do it in one step.

the only thing good from tw is black box and even that is really not worth the 3hrs to apply it cause it fades away quickly. but man it look good for a few days!!!

You will love the wash 'n wax. A gallon of water, one or two capfuls of product, and two microfiber towels are all you need to get a kickazz clean and shine, plus repeated use will improve the results.
Follow up with an application of Quick 'n Slick and Wowzer! :sunshine:

If you want to use a cleaner wax try Klasse All In One or Zaino All In One, both quality products. commonly referred to by detailing geeks as KAIO or ZAIO
If you want a shock, clay and polish your car, wash it with your choice of soap, dry it then use Klasse on it with a white applicator and watch what color the pad turns!

Armorall is just bad all around.Agreed. It's like the Budweiser of cleaning products. They have a huge advertising budget for a mediocre product.

You need a cleaner/wax combo if you want to do it in one step.Dude,The car WAS washed first.Always.I wiped this very thick yellw stuff on the roof (trying to protect from bird droppings)..The bottle says no dry time,no haze..I wiped it on with a terry applicactor and all the rubbing in the world would not take it off...I could see the lines from the stuff on the paint.as I said,I needed detailer to remove it.Maybe if you do a dime size spot at a time and IMMEDIATELY remove,it will work........My favorit e
clean and wax is Maguires,like a cream.followed by a zaino glazing....I also like black box as well

I was a Zaino fan until trying Croftgate. Zaino does a great job, but it's alot of work going through the multi-step process. Croftgate gives the same results, IMO, with a lot less work.

Thats that new Armor all Butter smooth wax.

I heard about it and picked up a bottle in Carlisle. After spending 20 minutes of rubbing to just get the stuff off the rear quarter, I left it in the parking lot and used the Croftgate show glaze in direct sunlight.
I have completely moved on from using any Armor all products from now on.

I threw all my Armour All stuff in the thrash.
