I was over on autogeek and theres literally a thousand brands and products to choose from. From interior stuff to exterior to different stages of wax. Well I have always kept my car very clean but I am just now wanting to make it show quality, i tried to the wet wax from obsessive and i really like it alot, i am bout to buy a PC. Well my question is what is the best products all around to make my car show quality.

A lot of the products are personal preference. All of the products I carry are top notch and show quality. I show prep vehicles as well as my own and have gotten hundreds of trophies. I guarantee you are getting very high quality products with my lineup.

there is approximately eleventy-google products to choose from over there!

I hear what your saying. I've tried a number of them, and there are a bunch of brands that work very well.
I've been happy with the optimum line, and Justin's line, before that I tried 4-5 other brands and they all work better than the part store variety.


For "Show quality" you need to do all the steps, but the main thing is you need to prep your paint, and get all the swirl marks and oxidation off of it, and polish it nice and smooth. Good products, Porter cable with the right pads, and lots of elbow grease.
you may want to polish it more than once if you've never done it before.
The PC is nice to work with and very hard to do any dammage with.
Get some orange cutting pads, and a few finishing pads.

Mainly you need to prep the surface so it's niiiiice and smooth, and the wax/sealer will really shine.

Great, I was planning on buying from you but I didnt know if the wolfgang products for example were leaps and bounds better because of price or something. This friday I will buying the second porter cable package from you so I can get my car show ready this summer.



I was planning on going with justin's line because of the quality of the wet wax, i mean my paint has barely seen any of the elements so its not very hard to get it to shine but I want that glass show shine and from what ive seen on videos the porter cable with some light polishes, glazes, and wax will really make my paint shine.

I can tell you Wolfgang's sealant and tire gel is very hard to beat. I love using it and it looks great on light colors and dark. WG swirl remover and polish (including the Pinnacle line) was redesigned by Menzerna, which makes amazing polishes that work fast and leave behind an amazing shine. I never got a chance to use Justins products, by the time he opened up shop my closet was filled (and still is). But here is what a PC using 5'' light cutting pad (orange) and Menzerna's Super Intensive Polish can do.
Before: (12 yrs of never being polished)

After:(just one complete pass made)

I also have tried everything and many do work very well but i trust Justin and his products work great. I've been itching to get my PC out and hopefully all this rain will go away soon.

Its nice having a friend "justin" in the biz to hook us up with good deals and great service.
