detailing is an art yes but it requires quality products - not just anything will yield good results. It may look ok but the higher quality products will last longer and are easier to work with

Last fall I was lucky enough to attend a Toyota detailing certification course at Central Atlantic Toyota's training facility. Pretty much all they use is Auto Magic. They also handed out grab bags at the end and it is an excellent product. I now use:
- Triple Seven for the engine bay and wheels
- Cherry Bubbles for wash, it works in the Mr. Clean AutoDry washer as well
- Super Dress-It for engine bay and tire shine post-wash
- Clay Magic Clay Bar
- White Magic polish by hand
- Banana Magic wax by powerball (it also smells like bananas)
The only thing I didn't like from Auto Magic was the glass cleaner. Best stuff I've found is invisible glass in the spray can. I also use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on the glass to get rid of water spots, overspray and bugs.
For drying off the car, I use The Absorber. It's the best shammy I've ever used and is at WalMart. if you have to go touchless, use the Mr. Clean AutoDry with the water filter and then an electric leaf blower, sounds wierd but it works. For the rubber moldings and little groves you can also use an air gun from a compressor to blow out the water. This eliminates those water spots below the corner of your windows and other drying annoyances.
Previously I also used the Meguiar's NXT 2.0 paste wax with great results as well. I don't trust the liquid waxes as being able to hold up like the pastes.
