I have been detailing my cars for 8 years, i have always used mothers products for some good "off the shelf" products. I have since began to use chemical guys for my wash solution and wax/sealent. Check out their youtube channel for how to's and info on products! I still use mothers clay bar, wheel/tire cleaner, tire shine, and interior products, Chemical guys makes a good wash soap and wax but the rest of the stuff is pretty much the same as mothers but more expensive in my opinon! Hope this helps and good luck!
