Default Cleaner of choice?

From reading through a lot of the posts on here, I know that a lot of ya'll jeepers think its cool to have a dirty jeep. Although I like to see mud all over a jeep, I also like takin' the time to make it nice and shiny again! Just wondering what everyone uses to clean the paint, wax, etc. I've been using the Meguires Clay Bar Kit and Tech Wax 2.0 and love it! If you haven't tried or heard of the Clay Bar Kit, I highly recommend it. Let me know what ya'll use.

Thats the stuff we use on our F-250, me I prefer to let the rain wash my jeep. but usually the wife wins out by nagging me until I wash it.But she has waxed it the last three times with the tech wax. Whe even waxed the hard top and it took most of the trail stripes off.

I have a silver JK and during the winter I noticed that I had a whole bunch small rust dots all over the driver and passenger side of the Jeep. This is what I did to remove all the contaminants and protect the paint for the summer.

Meguiars soap to wash
Turtle wax liquid clay bar
Meguiars step 1 paint cleaner applied with porter cable 7224
2 coats of Collinite super double coat wax 426s

for exterior plastic trims and hard top I use turtle wax ice

to protect soft top, 303 protectant

everything else inside gets hit with turtle wax f21
