I used to use nothing but Mothers brand waxes, now I exclusively use 3M Show
Car Paste Wax, 3M Car Wash, and 3M Gloss Enhancer on all of my vehicles.
Seems to be the easiest to put on & take off car wax I have ever used, and
has excellent durability when exposed to the elements. The car wash does a
good job cleaning and isn't too harsh on the wax. It is a little pricier
than the stuff you find at most auto superstores, I find my 3M stuff at auto
parts stores that also supply auto body shops with their materials. I have
also heard that many professional auto detailers swear by 3M products. I
have heard that Griots Garage car care products are excellent as well. As
far as wheel cleaner goes, I spray straight Simple Green on my already wet
wheels, wait a few minutes and use a scrubbrush on the wheels to clean them.
