Have you guys found any must-have cleaning products for ur cars. i have a 97 frost white cl with a couple of paint chips.

 

Definitely a personal preference thing. My must-haves?

Good car wash shampoo, sheepskin mitts, two buckets, good MF towels, a good swirl remover, paint cleanser, and wax/sealant, along with the appropriate pads and applicators. I guess I can't forget the PC too. Then there's a good quick detail spray, window cleaner, leather care. A long list. Brands are very arbitrary - there are a lot of outstanding products out there.

 

I think this is too broad a question to ask. The list can be numerous, but the one must-have item would be the PC and pads. That would be followed by a paint cleaner, SMR and sealant/wax. You would also have to throw in MF products for application, buffing and drying.

 

is the wax at the do-it-yourself car washes or should u just go with some name brand waxes

 

IMO, the wax used at self service car washes doesn't offer the protection of products bought OTC. You would be better off purchasing a product like Meguiar's or Mothers. Or you could go one better and purchase online.
