Found a side comment on some thread about mixing an ounce each of Carpro Reload and Carpro Ech20 into 14 ounces of distilled water and use as a detail spray. Wasn't too impressed with it the first time I used it, but successive applications have made me a believer.

Chemical Guys VSS with an orbital at about 1 inch per second followed by Chemical Guys Buttery wax and then Chemical Guys Speed Wipe. Fantastic results if you need only minor paint correction.

"Buttery Wax" is from Adam's Polishes. Chemical Guys has the "Butter Wet Wax". I get them mixed up too. They both are great "show waxes". Easy to apply and remove, and they look nice and glossy. But, they last about 2 weeks. Not kidding. If you like the "Butter Wet Wax" from Chemical Guys, try the "Cherry Wet Wax". It is also easy to apply and remove, but it lasts a little longer.

"Speed Wipe" is a good detail spray, for sure. I have a bottle of the cherry scent, and a couple bottles of the creamsicle scent.

For me so far was the mother’s 2.0 clay. Thing is worth the extra money and makes the job a lot faster. I will be doing a swirl remover and finishing polish this spring.

I've been very impressed by Renny Doyle's Bead Maker paint protectant. Great gloss, super slippery, and water beads like crazy. I use it as a drying aid or as a quick detailer. Great on glass and plastic trim. And.... It's not very expensive; I get it by the gallon when AG has it on sale for under thirty dollars.

Used to be an avid zaino user, but I have found 2 products that blow zaino away. They would be Polish Angel Cosmic Spritz and Polish Angel High Gloss.

You can't go wrong putting Ceramic Boost on top of H20, the shine is insane.

Lots of great products listed in this thread, even ones that have wowed myself. Tonight, I tried my polish angel high gloss and it completely blew me away. Very pricey by my standards, but wow, does it deliver!

No doubt......all of Polish Angels are ETREMELY pricey. HOWVER, if you want the very best products (and results) I have found nothing better.

Two bits of advice about the Polish Angel High Gloss product:
1. Only do one panel at a time, using a very little amount of product.

2. You maybe pleased about results right after completing a body panel. But wait until the next day (giving it time to cure) before making a decision on the product's performance. It will look even better after letting it cure over night.

After years of waxing, waxing, waxing and waxing, I decided to try something different. I didn't want to take the risk of doing paint correction and then applying a two year ceramic coating (I was afraid I'd screw it up and have to spend hours buffing it off). I bought Gyeon Can Coat (3 month ceramic) and supplemented it with Surf City Garage's Speed Demon Detail Spray, and then Speed Shield Ceramic spray about once a month. My car looks great and the amount of time spent keeping it that way is about 10% of what it used to be. Following are pictures of the products and the results after using them.
