This.

I mostly use Adam's Polishes, including towels, but use Chemical Guys glass cleaner and Extreme Shampoo. Both these suppliers have an extensive product line. I stick to the basics now as it's too easy to go nuts buying and trying everything they offer. Lol

I've tried lot's of different products and lines. Shine supply as linked above is a great all round source for products. His line has expanded a bit to much so it can get confusing on what to buy for certain things.

His punch product is a great quick detailer I like to use after a wash. His waterless wash is good to as long as you watch his video and understand when you can actually use it without hurting your paint. He does have ton's of other videos of different products he carries and how to use them which helps.

Lastly, invest in a good DI spotless system, it's your best friend when washing. When done I do a quick dry with big towels to start which takes a few min. If you have a good DI system you can air dry also and not worry. Then I take a couple of microfibers and wipe the car down with punch while drying off what ever is left.

I tried to stick with one brand and if I had to pick one would be Meguaris or 3M, I have tried Jax Wax, chemical guys, etc. Sure they work great, yet at double the price I feel. I try and wash the vehicles once a month and use Lucas detail spray in between washes.

Another vote for Shine Supply, even wearing one of their shirts as I type this lol

 

[Motoxxxloak]

Third, fourth and fifth vote for shine supply. I’ve used dozens of products over the last 18 or so years and shine supply has been my go to for everything the last 5 or so years.

 

[Rajobigguy]

I just use Lemon Pledge for everything .

Another for shine supply

To anser your question. For car detail supply chemicals. Koch Chemie and Gyeon are going to be on the higher end of chemicals. Unfortunately you are going to end up with certain brands for certain tasks.. Like Koch Chemie I only use for interior detail. For wheels and tires P&S works great as well as Adams. For Shine after wash I use P&S beadmaker.

I only buy gallon jugs and use IK sprayers. So all my sprayers are all the same.. Towels I use maxshine twisted loop drying towels.

Have you tried their floor wax ?

This. I now have all adams stuff. Tire graphene, rubber cleaner, detail wipe down, soap, even glass cloths.

I also mix detail spray 50/50 with vinegar for the boat.
Online is fast and frequent deals

 

[Rajobigguy]

Have you tried their floor wax ?

As a matter of fact yes. Pledge floor wax is the new version of “Future floor wax” . It’s a polymer, not a wax and you would be surprised how well it works for coating the hull below the water line.

lol, I used some pledge on the console of my Cobra project... then I googled "pledge on leather" and found out it was a NO NO!

I am heading to the shine supply website now, It's been years since I cared much about such things.

Sounds like shine is a good one to try.

One of the things I like most about Jeremy from shine is that he takes the time in his videos to explain the products, why they have what they have, how to use them. Along with step by step instructions on a lot of the ways he details things

 

[Gone_Flat]

shine supply , they have multiple products for alot of different applications

This exactly. Finally someone who gets it. Without those videos you're not as effective. What good is a product if you don't know how to effectively use it and, I think more importantly, what to expect out of a product.

If you expect one thing to do everything and it doesn't. You will be disappointed. But if you know what to expect and what other products need to achieve what you want. You will be happy. When you do it yourself instead of paying thousands. You're also less disappointed with the end result. Just my .02

I am between Chemical Guys and Shine Supply, I have mixture of both in my detailing cabinet. I got turned onto Shine Supply, after the Denali was done by Kelly @ShineDetailing. I like the Ride Shine detailer.
