Doesn't matter what grade you use as long as it meets Toyota spec which is 87.

Premium has anti-knocking ability but you should save your money until your car is knocking. But even though, you're probably better off just changing your sparks.

Armorall is suppose to crack. Although it doesn't appear to on my mom's car. I use meguiar's EVERYTHING just in csae, because a company with a trusted name isn't going to ruin their reputation with low quality products.

Of course, I'm going to have to try Zaino wax/polish because my friend highly recommends it.

Another friend recommends lemon oil but I haven't heard anyone to vouch for that claim yet. He says antique car owners use the stuff and so does his dad.

i just love the meguries and trust it. like eric said, it's a quality product. you pay a little more for it, but i have yet to buy something w/ the meguire's name on it that i haven't like.

the leather wipes smell awesome!!
the spray on wax it quick and clean!!
the gold class car wash smells great too and leaves awesome shine!!

Zaino Bros make awesome products, but it's not the best sorry to say. It's one of the best is more like it.
