Default Cleaning / Waxing Products

The last time I had a car that was actually worth washing/waxing ('91 Integra), Zymol was the best of the best -- expensive, but top notch. That was 15 years ago, and now that I have another car that I want to keep clean and waxed ('05 A4 3.0Q), I'm looking for some advice on the best car care products. I know you can still get Zymol, but I've heard that Mothers and Meguires make excellent products also. What does everybody here use? For washing, I generally just use cold water and a sponge, but I'm looking specifically for wax (Dolphin Grey) and something for the wheels. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I use Meguire's gold class paste wax. It produses a deep shine and last a long time. I use it on the wheels also. In between waxing I use a "wax while you dry " not sure of the brand. You spray it on the wet car and dry it. That one may be a waste of time. Lookinf forward to spring!!

Default I use the Pinnacle Sovereign Kit...

I wash the car, use Pinnacle Clay Bar if there's any rough spots on the paint or bugs and crap that you wanna make sure you remove, then I wash the car again, then I use the Pinnacle Sovereign Pre-Wax Paint Cleanser, followed by a product called Klase (which I got down here at a store don't know if its a popular product) but it makes the paint have a nice deep finish, and then top it off with the Pinnacle Soivereign Wax which pretty much makes the car look 1 day old... so after all of that my arms are probably about to fall off by my car looks like a mirror.

Default Is your sig supposed to be the Audi Techs?

That would probably be a good portrayal of them.
