Overall I really dig Maguiar's stuff.  Costs a little more but nice results!

Croftgate USA products have no silicone in them!!  The tire shine doesn't sling off and you can use it inside and out!!

I've had good luck with Meguairs stuff also.

 

I won a bottle of Meguiar's leather, vinyl, rubber detail spray as a car show door prize and was impressed at the results on my dash, seats, console, rubber and tires.

It is not too shiny or slippery for tires and boy does it smell good inside the car.

 

I have had good results with Meguiar's gold paste wax as it goes on and comes off easily and looks good.

 

Their clay bar/ detail spray kits are pricey but worth it.

 

I do need suggestions on what you guys like to use with your orbital buffers when it comes to light scratches and final polish.

I have heard most of the pro's endorsing 3m products...what say you?

Flynn's Auto Polish....selection is by far the best bang for your buck..Have tried most all the products they have....the Cherry Polish works best on the vette...The Ebony Polish does wonders on our dray gray 2500HD and darker paints...Engine Shine is a great product also..They are located in Snellville, GA.

Dri Wash and Guard. Have been using it for over 20 years, mainly on not car related applications ( like cleaning windows and appliances)

I've used just about everything and I prefer Surf City Garage products. I used to use Hot Flash but they have went out of business.

I have used maguires/Flynn/turtle/eagle one/and a few others. Maquires on paint seems to work best especially the clay bar and detailer just before a show. Eagle one works well on chrome and other metal products. Never been satisfied with anything on leather interiors and dash but will try other products as suggested.

I love my dual head Cyclo polisher....one from the '60s. Heavy metal with dual heads...it is a dream to work the paint. My question is do you all prefer a wool pad or a foam pad for polishing and getting out light scratches?

Finally got a cheap orbital buffer from advance and used Meguire's #7 show car glaze and finished it off with # 26 high tech yellow wax and the end result was the best I've ever been able to get it.

I was going to try the # 34? something final inspection but it was like $30 something dollars and only came in a gallon jug but I'm real pleased with the results as I've never been able to get the color this deep and get rid of the light scratches until now.

Don't know if it's the product or the fact that I used the orbital buffer, or both.

Here's the final finish.
