Products that "wow" you
What products have you used that have just absolutely given you the wow factor? Lets keep it positive, so nothing about products that have disappointed and please no measuring contest. For me, the adams ceramic booster, carpro reload and the Mckees37 wheel cleaner have all exceeded expectations. Also, the 16x16 eagle edgless rags. Would like to try the kenotech showroom shine next.

Meguiar's D166 Ultra Polishing Wax. This is their new "all-in-one" product. It is amazing. Works well on everything from light imperfections to heavy swirls.
Optimum No-Rinse. Nobody should be without it. It can be used as a waterless wash, a rinseless wash, a spray detailer, a window cleaner, etc. I was surprised at the shine it left, and how well it cleans.
Kenotek Showroom Shine. Bought some because of the recommendations found here. Holy schnikeys, does it work well! This may be my go-to spray detailer that I use when I park my car at a car show.
Griot's Garage "Best Of Show" spray wax. I have been an Optimum spray wax user, but I heard the Griot's worked well. They were right. Much easier to remove and less streaky than the Optimum. This is a go-to topper after a wash or before a car show.

Zaino Clear Sealant gives my cars that wet look with very little time spent.
Also, Kenotek Showroom Shine spray detailer. Great stuff. Enhances gloss. Wipes off effortlessly, and leaves a nice, slippery finish.

Oooh, I forgot! This is my newest "wow" product I recently tried. Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer. Sonax calls it a "spray detailer", but this stuff is really a super-hydrophobic spray sealant! 
It doesn't leave the paint surface as "slick" as true spray detailers or spray waxes, but holy canoli is it hydrophobic! Water just shoots off my daily driver now. It used it on the windows, and it works better than Rain-X. I love this stuff!

Adam's H20 combined with Ceramic Boost is the best bling I've ever seen. Kenotek for general detail spray, by far the easiest to remove is a strong second for me. Boost requires more effort to remove.

Last one, I promise. 
I am a huge fan of Honest Wash products. I use their "Car Show Prep" spray detailer, their awesome "BDP" wheel cleaner/iron remover, their spray wax, and a couple other goodies. The best part about Honest Wash is that their prices are incredible, and you usually get twice as much product.
Anyway, they have a great leather/vinyl cleaner/conditioner called "Rejuvenation". This stuff smells a lot like real leather, and makes your interior smell brand new. Does a great job of cleaning, and isn't greasy. I usually spray a towel, wipe everything down, let it dry, then buff with a clean towel to knock the shine off. Makes everything nice and rich-looking.
32oz for under $15. I bought a second bottle!

Mckees paste wax, used it today for the first time. Very easy to apply, do not have to wait for it to completely haze over before removing with a micro fiber towel. And what a shine.......Wow!

Griots Speed Shine most recently garnered impressive results. Griots overall is a winner.

Adam's new 9H ceramic sealant. Easy to use and makes maintaining a breeze. Washes and dries without a problem. Water beads and blows off fast. Finish is like glass now. I am sure other ceramic coatings do the same. Beats the Zaino sealant I used in the past.

As a pro detailer for our standard details, Zaino's AIO, topped with Clear Seal, then Z-8. This combo simply brings out the best in the paint, especially metallics and pearls.
But Feynlabs Heal Lite, just kicks butt. The best of the ceramics, I have tried, a pantload of them.
Out of all of the Ceramics, I have tried, most give a nice gloss and good protection, but Feynlab's products do what the above Zaino combo does, makes your paint just POP!!! Plus being self healing, helps fill in swirl marks, just sitting in the sun. I have been testing the Feynlab product line in my shop and can say I am more than impressed.
