I use Meguiar's products, I really like them.

Nah man, skip the Meguires stuff. For the VR paint I've found that a final wax with Poor Boy's Natty's Paste Wax (blue) makes a world of difference in clarity and depth. Really brings out the mica. When I go to auto shows people think I had my car painted professionaly. I tell them no, it's OEM with a lot of love.

A snapshot of what I have been using just recently:

1. Windows: Stoner's Invisible Glass
2. Wheels: Soap and water (waxed wheels), otherwise once in a blue moon, Meg's Hot rims.
2.B. Wheel wax: Zaino Z-2, sometimes Poorboy's Wheel Sealant
3. Soap: Zaino Z-7, also love Poorboy's Super Slick & Sids
4. Interior: Meguiar's #40, sometimes Poorboy's Natural Look
5. Trim: Poorboy's Trim Restorer (used Mother's Back to Black before and it left white residue, and very runny, so thumbs down)
6. Exhaust Tips: English Custom Hot Environment & Chrome Polish for my tips
7. Tires: Meguiar's Insane Shine wiped on with a foam pad, Poorboy's Natural Look, also wiped on with a foam pad
8. Exterior: Jeff's Werkstatt Prime Strong & Acrylic Jett, Zaino Z-5 Pro, Meguiar's #21, Poorboy's EX-P
9. Dash: Meguiar's #40, sometimes Poorboy's Natural Look
10. Leather: Zaino Z-10

I have used a bunch of other stuff before as well.. Mother's Reflections Advanced car wax, Zaino Z-5 non-Pro version, Collinite 845 Insulator Wax, Aerospace 303 Protectant, Meguiar's Rich Leather wipes (greasy crap), Four Star Pre-Wax Cleanser, many kinds of tire shine, etc, too much to list. Plus a bunch of polish products, various pads used with a Porter Cable random orbital polisher.

AND CLAYBAR. If you like detailing and caring for your car, you must clay your car. I use Clay Magic from AutoZone, it's the best bang for the buck, IMO. Nice clay, nice lube without extra crap in it.

Also see my history of various wax applications.

You can either spray it on or wipe on with a cloth or a pad. For tires, I would spray it on, but it's hard to get even coverage with the spray. For interior, even if you spray it on, you still want to wipe it down to make it even looking. So just spray on the cloth and wipe it on. Technically, if you spray and don't wipe, you will get more gloss. Aerospace 303 though is a very low-gloss, low-sheen product... it looks nice and classy everywhere.

For example, if you're the kind of person that hates tire shine and thinks that it looks too bling/too much like crap, I recommend using Aerospace 303, as it just darkens the tire, it makes it not look all gray in the sunlight and helps protect the tire from dry-rotting. It looks just nice and clean. 303 by itself is not black enough for my taste though, so I use other products on my tires.

Interesting choice on the PC 7336. Why not the 7424?

Astral

It's the same thing, slightly different counterweight. I also have the PC 7336.

It has a 6" counterweight versus the 5" with the 7424. I wasnt being picky since that was the only model that Lowes was carrying at the time. Its pretty much the same thing.

Meguiar's products on everything inside and out except windows. Can't beat them for ease of use and outstanding results. Windows get the windex-and-paper-towel treatment and it works fine.
