What products are you guys using to keep your cars clean and shiny! My sound noobish but wanna see what y'all recommend... Because meguiars soap isnt cutting it for me! I was it and 2 days later it looks the same.... Looking on auto geek now but don't know which product to buy! Thanks

From my experience anything from chemical guys is a straight win

its not what products you buy, its how you apply them

soap to wash the car
wax to wax the car - dual action buffer recommended

compound to remove scratches - high speed polisher recommended
polish to remove deep scratches - high speed polisher and experience mandatory
numerous grit sandpaper - experience mandatory
