Claybar: Clay Magic - they're all great!
Polish (light cutting): Menzerna 106FF
Polish (medium cutting): Menzerna Super Intense Polish
Polish (heavy cutting): I have not tried any yet but I'm going to try Meguiar's M105 first then compare to Menzerna Power Gloss when I get a chance

Sealant: Jetseal 109
Wax: I don't have much experience with this, but I've seen such great Swissvax jobs that I'm going with Swissvax Consoro.

I just started getting into detailing. I haven't done all the stuff on your list. Here is what I've used so far:
Sealant: Wolfgang deep gloss 3.0
Wax: Pinnicle souveran liquid
Interior: 303
Leather: Lexol
Tire dressing: Black magic
Clear bra cleaner/wax: Plexus
Use Lake county pads w/PC, Prefer foam applicators over MF applicators

Great idea Garnett...I get so stuck in what I use, that I have a lot of trouble trying to pick new products to try. This should help...and make sure you put your choices on here too.
Soap: Mostly Megs...but not picky here. Use mostly OTC stuff.
Claybar: I don't notice the difference between any of the quality ones. Use mostly Megs because its OTC and easy to find.
Polish (light cutting): 106ff
Polish (medium cutting): SIP
Polish (heavy cutting): haven't gone there yet.
Glaze: not sold on glaze yet...tried it and just seemed like too much work for the bang.
Sealant: Zaino Z2
Wax: P21s
Tire Dressing: Zaino Perfect Tire Gloss
Wheel Sealant: Wheelwax
Interior Protectant: 303. Recently tried PBs Natural Look though, and I really like it.
Leather Care: 303
Quick Detailer: Z6 has always been my favorite...but leaning hard toward FK425 lately.

^ Thanks. The reason I wanted to start a thread like this is that I have my own detailing business and am always looking to try new products. I just wanted to gather some information and see what other detailer's favorite products are. As for me, the best products for each category that I have used so far are the following:
Car Soap: Poorboys Super Slick & Suds
Claybar: Clay Magic (fine grade)
Polish (light cutting): Menzerna P0106FF
Polish (medium cutting): Menzerna SIP
Polish (heavy cutting): Menzerna Power Gloss
Glaze: Don't use it, but have ordered Menzerna's Finishing Touch
Sealant: Menzerna FMJ
Wax: Poorboys Natty's Blue
Tire Dressing: Poorboys Bold N Bright
Wheel Sealant: Poorboys Wheel Sealant
Interior Protectant: Aerospace 303
Leather Care: Lexol leather cleaner/Zaino Z10
Quick Detailer: Zaino Z6
I have Poorboys entire SSR lineup of polishes as well which I find are very good, but I think Menzerna's are a step above. Another product worth mentioning that I really like is Optimum Car Wax. It's a spray carnuba that is quick and easy to use and also gives you great added depth and gloss.
