Car Care Products list

After reading Rob's "Stoner's Invisible Glass" thread I thought I'd ask what/why people put on their SVX (and what they wouldn't). Just to start it out here's my list:

Wheel & tire cleaner: Eagle One A2Z - best found so far (Simple Green)
Glass cleaner: Eagle One - just because I liked the A2Z (anything with ammonia, tinted glass issue)
Car wash: Meguiar's Gold Class - no particular reason (no dish or laundry detergent)
Wax: Liquid Glass - a polymer not as good as Zaino, but available locally - may try Meguiar's NXT next (any real wax - doesn't last)
Leather & vinyl products: Lexol - not as good as Leatherique & Aerospace 303 respectively, but close and much cheaper (Armor All)
Engine bay cleaner: most any citrus based cleaner, followed by a shot of Meguiar's liquid spray detail wax (Simple Green)
Fluids (Oil, ATF): Mobil 1 - cheaper than Redline & easier to get (??)
Filters: Mobil 1, Bosch, Wal-Mart SuperTech - all made by Champion (Fram)
Gasoline: Sunoco, Chevron, Texaco - just "feel" safe with them (??)
