Best car washing products for our E's?

Spring is here which means we will all be washing our E's more regularly. I personally like Griot's line of car care products, but have heard great things about Klasse and P21S. What products do you like to use and why?

There are soooo many good products out there. Everybody has their favorite, just like flavors of ice cream.

Poorboys, Menzerna, Einszett, Zaino, Dodo Juice, etc.. Combine different brands for specific applications because no one brand is good at everything.

Here's a good forum for detailing: http://www.autopia.org/

I use liquid Tide on 220 grit wet/dry sandpaper. Cleans well and I get great looking swirls.

If you really care about your paint, you won't wear any type of clothing or watches while washing your fine Mercedes
Your clothing will cause microswirls! The watches will create micro turbulence in the electromagnetic fields causing your paint to "align unevenly"

Yeah, that's why I hire a couple of lap dancers from the club down the street to wash and wax my car. I don't look so good naked and the neighbors complained.

I agree. I have used several products over the years and only moved on from the previous ones to try something different.

Lately I am really liking Pinnacle products and have eliminated a step by just using "wolfgangs sealant" as it polishes excellent as well.
