What car washing products do you prefer?

I need to get more soap/wax stuff but I'm trying to figure out what to get. I've always just used the Mr Clean but I ran that over one night and I've usually used McGuire's wax. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the Eagle One liquid claybar. My buddy said it worked well, but not as well as a real claybar, but I'm too much of a wuss to claybar my car.

Anyways, what do you use and why? Keep in mind I'm not buying any $50 8oz bottle soap

oh, and Eagle One has this promo

i use meguiars NXT products... car wash, and their tech paste wax, and i also use meguiars clay bar system.

i wash my car about 3 times a week (some people think im ), and clay bar and wax at least every couple of months, and the paint is almost totally swirl free and glossy... i would'nt think that washing too much should be a problem, as long as you wax regularly. it seems to me that the only minus would be wearing off your wax more quickly.

dish soap, a bucket of water, and a old sock do the trick couple times a month or so.

I use meguire's gold class wash with a washmitt. Zaino every 6 months with meguires NXT in between.

Claybar is pretty easy to use, just make sure you keep the surface lubricated and do small areas at a time and wipe off the residue from the spray after you finish each area and you'll be good. If the bar stops don't push it further and just pick it up off the panel and you'll be good.

ya dish soap = bad!

i use ICE wash with a wash mit, wheel cleaner, and invisible glass

i use mothers carnuba wax with microfiber towel to apply then microfiber to take off!''

microfiber works for everythin except windows when they are hot then the window just like tears the fibers out of the towel

cool car off first!

i soak the car with water for a couple minutes even when it is cool just to make sure!

Use duster on daily basis, unless it was raining.
I wash mine once a week, wipe down w/ Meguiars spray detailer.
Full detail w/ Mothers Clay Bar in the spring and fall.
