    The soap I use is zip wax or meguiars car wash Both work good but the meguiars smells really good :D . Haven't tried anything else yet, but I will in the future. I use the meguiars gold class and it works really good, and yes, I do use the 3 step system: Cleaner, Polish, Gold class. I'm going to put on some Nu-Finish instead of the gold class because my car will be outside most of the time at school. Now the trick w/ Tire shine is get Endurance or something like that, apply it, and let it sit as long as possible, then wipe off the excess. Works really good IMO.

      I love everything Meguiars!! Gold Class soap, and I like all there waxes. I've used the 3 step, I dunno seems overated didnt amaze me. The BEST tire shine i feel is Black Magic Tire gel, make sure it isnt a spray, its actually a gel that goes on with an applicator!!!! stuff is amazing lasts really long. Hopes that helps.

            First I get some spray nine and shoot some of that on the tires to eat away the dirty and the old tire wet and wash it off. Then I get some black majic tire wet (not the foam **** the kind that you just spray on in aerosol) that gets them really looking nice, it's only $5 a can. Then I also take some of that and spray it up in the wheel wells to get that dirty look out from underneath them. And the car is ready to go.

                    I use Mequires car wash. Carnuba waxes arent the best to use on your car. Wax is yellow and it has the ability to leave a film AND a yellow tinge to your clear coat.
