I have tried quite a few different brands, and to me, they're prety much the same. If you stick to quality name brand you'll be fine.

I used some Meguires spray detail today and it worked pretty well i must say.

Any kind of car wash soap is fine. If you do use dish soap then you "HAVE TO" Wax it after. dish soap WILL strip the wax. That armor all "wax as you dry" does work. it doesn't replace a good wax job. but it'll do in a pinch
