any soap
meguires wax and quick detail
mothers clay bar
black magic for the interior, black trim, and tires
blue coral carpet cleaner
stoner invisable glass
turtle wax bug and tar remover to get all that **** off the front bumpers
rain x for the windshield

thats what i use when ever i have time to do a full detail and iv trieda bunch of brands and i prefer the ones iv posted above

you will also need a aqua dry towl and i recoment some 3M detailing cloth my dad had some and gave it to me it works great removing wax once youve applied it and it drys it is a loosely woven cloth that has 100's of openings and holes in it to grab the wax unlike having to wipe hard or having to wipe 2 or 3 times with this 1 easy wipe takes all the res off my dad used to use it when he made boats because after sealing the fiberglass hall you would have to wax it and he would buy huge rolls of this stuff and just cut it to the length he needed and he had some left over and gave it to me

Soap: A wash & wax, not dish soap
Clay bar kit. $17-18
Clear Coat Safe Polish esp. on a darker colored car
Wax: Cleaner wax if it has not been waxed in a while or a Carnuba wax
A Spray detailer used after washes, and inbetween waxes. (Meguiars Ultimate Detailer is awesome)
Rain-X Glass Cleaner/Treatment- all windows
Armor All Extrem Shine Tire Gel.
Armor All or STP or whatever on interior dash and trim. Alos use on exterior rubber and unpainted plastics.

Wax your wheels if they are clear-coated. Under the hood looks 10X better is you remove the heavy grease with a degreaser and thenm lighty coat the rubbers/plastice with Armor AAL or a tire foam. Wipe it dry. Then re-spray it and let it soak it. Ocne you remove the intial grease build-up a quick spary form Armor All will make it look good.
