Wash/soap -PBW slick suds
Clay bar -
Polish - Merzerna 106FF (light cut)

If you guys could give me some suggestions on what i need, that would help alot. Thanks

I am glad to hear that you are switching to real products! I use Zaino's so I cant help you out on everything but I can help you on what I swear by.

Clay bar - I use Zainos but all clay bars are the same. Just buy ClayMagic.
Wax - Pinnacle Souveran
Tire Shine - I like the glossy finish so I use BlackMagic from Wal-mart
Wheel shine- Mother's polish or WheelWax

Dont forget to use the forum discount!

Sealant - Either Chemical Guys JetSeal 109 (heard great things) or Menzerna FMJ (what I use).
Wax - Poorboys World Natty's Blue OR p21S Coucours-style carnauba (has won MANY consumer reports "best of" awards for quality and durability).
Tire Shine - I've been using Meguiars Endurance High Gloss but have been issues with sling recently, so I'm looking at Blackfire tire gel.
ClayBar - I agree with Heat, Clay Magic (fine grade).
Wheel Shine/Sealant - Poorboys World Wheel Sealant

Happy Detailing!! Be sure to check out www.detailedimage.com for all of these products.
(Menzerna Full Molecular Jacket is on sale this month!)

I have an IP-G.

For sealant, what would be better of the two for an IP? Merzerna FMJ or Jet Seal 109

Wax - Not highly expensive, best wax for an average price. IP.

Any other steps for detailing i might of miss? Thanks for the help

What is the difference between a sealant and a wax?

Would i be able to use a glaze on my car? Which glaze is good?

GT35R

Glazes conceal imperfection by filling them with a solution that as a similar reflective index as ur clear coat. Mezerna FTG is good and it is what I use. Of course you can apply a glaze on ur car.
