Default What wax/car care does everyone use

This was a three on my finger forum I was on before I got my f150. Just a thought for on here, might be already used so I apologize if it is.
Just curious what does everyone use on their truck/other cats for cleaning and detailing, tire shine wax all the good stuff guys and girls. Ancient Chinese secrets or Whatever lol
I'll start it off, I'm a big fan of meguiars. I use the ultimate stuff, also use meguiars clay bar twice a year. Wash is also meguiars lol. Tire shine is black magic. Wheel cleaner is meguiars all wheel cleaner. As for interior I haven't conditioned or anything on the seats yet or dash. I have a small duster/swiffer for wiping dust off once a week. Windows I'll probably use invisible glass once I run out of the stuff the window tint place gave me

I forgot all about the bleach white. Have you tried the black bleach version yet?

Started as a Meguiar's guy and then I found Autogeek. Now have stuff from pretty much every brand they carry. Mostly I use Stuff from Meguiar's, Mothers, Optimum, CarPro, Wolfgang, Detailer's Pro Series, Duragloss, and Chemical Guy's. Have a lot of "beatique" waxes as well because I've started collecting them now. What I use depends on my plans or taste at the time.

Truck currently has Optimum Opti-Coat on the bumpers, tailgate, front fascia, hood, roof, grille, mirror caps, and fenders. Wolf's Chemicals Hard Body Sealant is on the rest. Was prepped with Optimum Finish Polish. Duragloss 601/105 on the wheels. Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant on all Trim. Pinnacle Window Sealant and DP Glass Coating on windows. Wolfgang Cockpit Interior Sealant on interior. Seats and carpets coated with CarPro CQuartz Leather & Fabric Coating.

Keeping her protected well makes cleaning all the mud,dirt, salt, and snow off that much easier.

Meguiar's has a ton of kits to choose from. Target had one on sale for $19.99 this past week. I'll probably go with that, but not until winter is all done and over with as I don't know how I would go about it in this cold.

^ Collinite 845. I work at a refinery and I get fallout from cooling towers, and no telling what else all over my truck. Collinite seems to work better then any other wax I have used. Plus it's easy to apply and remove, just hard to see on our silver trucks!

Meguiars fan here too,
I use any claybar really with Meguiars quick detailer, love that stuff for in between washes too.
For a full job after clay barring, I start with Meguiars mirror glaze #9 swirl remover, then #7 show car glaze and lastly a #26 carnauba wax to seal her all up.
