I use Meguiar's (66). What do you guys use to keep your car shiny ?

I use NXT wax, Gold Glass car was soap, Endurance tire gel, and the other products.
 
I use the Meguair's sealant. I'm using it more for protection than shine.
 
I've used the nxt wax in the past. Pretty friendly to apply by hand or buffer.

Do you use buffer ?

I used a DA Buffer with Ultimate Compound on 2k Grit sand for the bumper I recently painted to get rid of the orange peel. And Ultimate Polish for the rest of the car. The only thing I dont use Meguiars for is the glass because I like the Invisible Glass by Stoner more lol. Everything else is Meguiars. I never realized how much products I use from them. I should collect them from their respective shelfs and take a picture :p
 
Looks good @Kaan.b34 - I would suggest not using the endurance tire gel though. It's not a silicone base like some of the others but it will turn your tires brown and sling off onto the paint. Once on the paint it can penetrate in and leave stains. The dressing is suspended in a type of petroleum base that can and will damage paint. You probably won't notice it as bad on the red paint color though.

Megs does make a better tire product but you usually can't find it at pepboys/autozone.
For tires try their D170 Hyper Dressing. Its much better in terms of looks, protection, better for your tires, and better for your paint.

I use the Optimum Tire Shine. Its good on black trim too.


Notes from a detailing forum I frequent.... check your bottle of tire dressing.

It's said that a tire dressing that contains polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)...
Is a "better" tire dressing than one that contains: Dimethyl Silicone (DMS)

But then again:
It is said that a Dimethyl Silicone Emulsion is a water dispersable form of a polydimethylsiloxane and silicone dioxidemixture.
