    Hey Guys,
    What are some OTC products you buy. For the most part I think alot of us buy car shampoo OTC, along with a few odd n end things. What are some of the things you'll pick up at WalMart or some other retail store (Target, Kmart, Costco, Sams etc).

    NXT liq wax, Meg's QD, TW-Platinum products, No-Touch, AA TireFoam and ExtremeShine, Meg's#26, Microtek All Purpose m/f towels, Detailers Pride SheepSkin Mitts and some carpet/wheel brushes.

    Lets here what you buy OTC


    Happy Detailing

    If I am in a pinch, I will pick up glass cleaner from Lowes- (Hopes Perfect Glass)

    I know there is more that I cannot think of off the top of my head.

    Clay magic, meg's clay, AA tire gel (for customers that like the bling), DG 901, DG AW, Stoners More Shine, Stoners IG (has been repleced in my arsenal but still a top notch product),

    It doesn't get talked about much but, Mothers Pure Carnuba Wax (no cleaners) is actually a very nice OTC wax....

    S100 wax is also a good wax and can be had at harley stores

    Amazing Roll Off can be found at most Marine (boating) Supply stores

    303 line (cleaner/protectant/convertibel top cleaner) can be found at some Murrays

    Hmmm I'll think of more

    bigpoppa Jedi Nuba

    Armor All Origional tire shine (water based). Only like $20 for a gallon, good looks, decent durability.

    Purple Power APC is good for nasty doorjambs and exterior grime.

    Duragloss 901 can be had at my local Carquest for like $20 a gallon.

    Stoners IG, nice product, but I am currently using a strong ONR mix on the glass, I find it cleans better than IG and no streaks. The Stoners is nice for windows that aren't too dirty.

    For OTC, I have used both DG 901 and Mothers. DG leaves something behind for beauty (it seems almost like a gel) but Mothers seems to rinse cleanly too and cheaper in smaller quantities (1/2 gallon). Both are good. Mothers is about $16 a gallon at Pep Boys (2 32 o ). I have found 901 at Carquest for $20 but the label prices have been crossed out. I should ask the next time.

    I think Mothers FX or Reflections is an excellent OTC synthetic (super easy to apply and decent durability) for $8 (FX) at Walmart and Showtime is the best detailer at $5 (Walmart again) compared to Meg's regular version. I have not tried Meg's Ultimate at 2x the price.
