Nxt is good over the counter stuff.

I've used zaino and poor boys. May order some stuff from Adams. Honestly, they're all good.

I've used Adams (as i am sure you all know by now is my favorite:)) Zaino (also good products) Poorboy's (They also make a lot of good products and SSS is the only wash i use) Ive used some products from Pinnacle, as well as Chemical Guys (I wasn't very impressed) Detailer's Pride (AKA DP they make good wash to use in the foam gun) And i want to try Migliore I have heard great things about them. As far as OTC stuff i guess Meguiars is the best but i have never really used anything else OTC and i haven't used very many Meg's products. Hope that helped some. Also when detailing your truck, the steps you take are more important than the products really. Make sure to use a Good mitt that is not going to scratch the paint, also use 2 buckets (1 rinse, 1 wash and google "grit guard" i have one of those in each bucket). Make sure to "flood" the truck before drying, and your first dry pass make sure to go over it with no pressure (i like to mist the truck with detail spray before drying). I personally wash the wheels of the truck first, some argue its better to do it after, some argue my way. Its just preference really.

For something a little different I havn't seen on this forum. I used "Collinite Marque D'Elegance" wax. I have not waxed my Yukon yet as it is only 8 months old and doesn't need it. I used this which is a high concentration carnuba wax on my Corvette and wife's Nissan after a clay bar application and all I can say is WOW! Like glass,especially the 2001 Nissan which has never been waxed ever! After speaking with a guy who owns a car detailing shop he directed me to this which was $30.00 cheaper than the wax I was going to buy. I use the Maguires spray polish on all the cars also in between waxes.

i personally like poorboys for shampoo.

i use the super slick n suds (http://glimmerglassdetailing.com/super-slick--suds.html)

i like migliore wax (http://glimmerglassdetailing.com/mifiwax.html), but wax is debatable. it's probably the best i've ever used. i'm about to try the new Americana (http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-423-adams-americana-premium-carnauba-paste-wax.aspx) from adam's.

"best" is subjective, what are you looking for in a wax, polish, wash, etc?
