Meguiar's has been making car care products since 1901 — longer than most car manufacturers have existed. Acquired by 3M in 2008, the brand retained its identity and product development independence.
Their product line spans the full spectrum from budget consumer (Gold Class, Ultimate lines) to professional detailer (M-series compounds and polishes). The consumer products are generally the safest recommendation for someone asking "what should I buy?" — they're widely available, well-priced, and formulated to be forgiving for inexperienced users.
