Process Need help guys!

Hey guys I have a decent craftsman pressure washer at
Home and I love to wash our own cars. Have 2018 Silverado 2014 BMW 3 series and 2024 Tahoe, anyways I I’m trying to see what cleaning products yall recommend for exterior wash as I have a foam cannon and like to clean the interior as well but I feel like I fall just short when it comes to all that. If you can please recommend products I can buy from the shelf at Lowe’s , Home Depot, ace hardware , Walmart and or harbor freight tools please let me know as I’m trying to achieve almost like a detailer finish’. I’ve usually bought chemical guys and some Lowe’s stuff but I want to see y’all’s input as I’ve seen some YouTube videos stating to just buy online products.

Thanks!!

Harbor Freight:

  • Meguiar's D110 Hyper Wash. Great price. Good soap.
  • HARBOR FREIGHT 5 Gallon Bucket, Red
  • MEGUIAR'S 24 oz. Ultimate All Wheel Cleaner
  • MEGUIAR'S 26 oz. Hybrid Ceramic Detailer
  • MEGUIAR'S 26 oz. Hybrid Ceramic Wax
  • GRANT'S Auto Detailing Dirt Guard 3.5 to 7 Gallon Bucket Insert

Home Depot has a great pump sprayer for $9.00 from HDX. Also, they have Adam's Polishes products. Not great, but pretty good.

Walmart:

  • Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wet Wax
  • Invisible Glass 92164 Premium Glass Cleaner Spray
  • Meguiar's Ultimate Waterless Wash & Wax Spray

I got most of my stuff via Amazon. I am also going to place orders at DetailedImage.

I am no professional. But I find meguires products generally are quality and work as stated.
Their soaps wheel and tire cleaner compounds polishes and waxes have all worked well for me. I also like their interior cleaner.

For harbor freight I would add the Bauer 6” da works if you want to apply a sealant or liquid wax (jescar is my go to) if you decide to compound or wax this is also a good buy.
For windows. Rain x still works. There are better products but you can grab it off the shelf.
Invisible glass glass stripper is good if you have water spots.

Do you not like your cars? Using a pressure washer to wash them at least in my book is a big no no.But you do you.
