Default Meguiars Detailer Line?

I found out through my job I get wholesale at one of the local paint and body shops. They carry Meg detailer line, duragloss and 3m. Well I am looking at some of the products I think I will try some of the 3m Ultrafina SE and will be stocking up on DG 111 I was really impressed with the look and so far the durability is great. Any I was looking at the Meg detailer line as well, I was thinking of trying M95, Last touch or #34 Final Inspection, #82, #83, APC, Glass cleaner, Leather cleaner and conditoner, #40, All Seaon dressing or Silicone free dressing or Hyper dressing and #21.
Wish I could buy it all at once to try lol. Anyway can you give me your opinions on the products mentioned? What is worth buyin and what should I not waste my time and especially my money on?
As far as polishes go I am using a PC 7424, still learning so I do not have a rotary yet.

Thanks all

I have not used much of the detailer line but here are my experiences with a few.

APC - Good all purpose cleaner, worth having in the arsenal

Glass Cleaner - Skip this, streaks like hell

Wheel Brightener - Good to have on hand for those nasty wheels, but not for everyday use as it's acid based and harsh

All Season Dressing - Not too bad..but I really don't like the thick messy dressings and prefer water based dressings

Between Duragloss, Megs and 3M you have a lot of good products available.

Meg's APC worth having. great product.
final touch is nice, and for the price, it ant be beat. I have like 3 gallons of it.
I have either #82 or #83 and its not bad for a final polish. dont use it all the time since I have discovered menzerna earkier this year.

wow..what a great position to be in! I would suggest DG 501 and 105 combo (you can include 601 as well if you need faster curing time). The 3M UF is supposed to rock and the Megs WB for tough jobs. DG makes a wheel cleaner (the multi wheel one) that is safe enough to use every day I was told by them. I like it. Have fun shopping!!

I have always had great luck with their glass cleaner. It is dirt cheap and works great.

Their hyperdressing also is great and very economical when diluted. (the smell is good too)

Dont forget the DG 901 and the DG Fast, Clean n Shine. Great products.

M#34 Final Inspection is pretty nice.

Last Touch is a great, economical clay lube, it dilutes 1:1.

Hyper Dressing is great for wheel wells, at 3:1 it provides a nice dark sheen and isn't messy to use.

Wheel Brightener speaks for itself, it will remove staining and dirt on some rims that would have other wise required polishing to remove.
