Your Top 3 Cosmetic Products?

Hi All,
I love looking at people's top lists, and wanted to see if we can get something going on this site.

What are your top 3 products that you like to use on your car? They can be waxes, interior products, towels, etc. Just your list, or a little commentary on why you like each one the best would be really interesting.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

BMW wheel cleaner when need to get off heavy dirt - once or twice a year. (P21 is a nice weekly cleaner).

Zymol 'Detail' for door mirror housings, rear spoiler, valence panel. (like their waxes in general)


Griot's Microfiber Wash Mits item#10268, great for slammed on bug removal, holds lots of water & soap.
(Also Zymol non-silicone wash spongs for down low)

Chemical guys Hybrid V7 quick detail spray
RainX 2 in 1 glass cleaner
*Chemical guys premium microfiber towels

*Two buckets
*Grit guards
Chemical guys extreme body wash with synthetic wax
Chemical guys el Diablo wheel gel
Some random wheel brush
*Chemical guys chenille microfiber wash mitt
Chemical guys wedge wheel mitt
Foam gun

Okay, after writing that list I've put a star next to the items that I don't feel the need to replace with something else that I want to try out.
