I've used a lot of their products and I still think Meguiers makes a better product - waxes, quick detail spray etc. I do like their spray on quick wax - and a reasonable price. You can find similar products on ebay and amazon for a lot less money - vacs, hose reals, etc. - I get there catalog cause I ordered from them before. I really like the quality of their micro fiber cloths though.

I like mequiar's stuff for my car chris, you know me, I've always been a mequiar's girl. I have tons of microfiber cloths, speaking of which now that amy has jarred my memory they all need washing. I'm looking into purchasing a california water blade to get more water off my car, or even a shamwow. I hate how when my towels get wet all they do is smear the finish.

I use mequiar's quickwax and I must say it does a great job, even better than the waxonwaxoff carnuba deal.. however she is getting treated to a full buff job this spring!

I mainly use Meguiars, but i've tried all kinds of waxes and washes. Most are pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of Mothers products though. In my experience it was REALLY hard to get off once applied.

Chris, I would try all the products you got...If you don't like them, just by something else next time, but at least try the stuff. Then take more pics of the Monte to share after its all washed and waxed. LOL

That's kinda how I did it - I tried a whole bunch of different brands and decided that Meguires do make the best products for my applications (I don't own a dark colored car which can make a difference in the products that you use).
