Wow you're gonna get a lot of opinions. And we may need to know where you're located. I like my NuFinish - it is a zinc cross linking polymer(no abrasives), not really a wax and it goes on well after a wash with Blue Coral. Easy to apply - OK to apply in sunlight (in Texas that can be important. Stays on well and will not trap particles like waxes can.

Try to get a 5 gallon bucket, when you wash, rinse the sponge out in the upper part of the water to keep from transfering any heavy dirt from the bottom of the bucket back to the car. Never use the sponge for other cleaning jobs.

I'm hearing very good reports on the new Mr. Clean car wash system.

I've heard some folks like drying the car with a leaf blower.(I may try this next time I wash)

Most folks say stay away from the powered buffers - too many swirl marks.

I haven't really found a bad product for the interior - but the wipes in pouches (for touch ups or the glass) I find are easier to stash and less frustrating to retrieve than the round wipe dispensers.
