Getting the supplies ready
Hoping for a warm day soon so I can finally detail the car!
Per Spolier's request I've added a breakdown of everything from left to right. Wash Chemical Guys Citrus Wash - for stripping old wax Dodo Juice Born to be Mild - Haven't tried yet but for maintenance wash Adam's Car Wash - Good maintenance shampoo, lots of suds and smells like cherries Prima Mystique - Just got it today as a free add on when i got the wash mitt from DetailersDomain Uber Wool Wash Mitt - New Uber Wash Sponge - New Clay Dodo Juice Born Slippy - Good clay lube ONR - haven't tried it but hear good things as a clay lube so I ordered some Adam's detail spray - Good clay lube but pricey to use as one, I like it better for drying the car Polish Adam's Severe Swirl Adam's Swirl and Haze Adam's Fine Machine Polish Interior Sonax Leather Foam - Really like this as a light maintenance product, won't clean tough jobs but it's good for in between Adam's Leather Cleaner - Strong stuff, gets out some tough dye transfer Adam's leather conditioner - Don't use this as much anymore, the scent is a little strong for my taste but it does make the seats very soft. Leather master (4 prods) use these when I need to do a thorough cleaning Einszett Cockpit - My absolute fav dash/plastic claner, very matte finish, just looks clean Paint/Wheels Adam's APC - awesome for cleaning tires Adam's Glass Cleaner - best class cleaner I've ever used Einszett Glanz - crazy easy to use sealant that looks awesome Dodo Juice Blue Velvet Pro - really nice wax that make my blue metallic paint pop Adam's SVRT - Great tire dressing, lower shine, just adds a nice dark finish Sonax Wheel Cleaner - really really easy wheel cleaner, the dust just melts off Dodo Juice Red Mist Tropical - Spray Sealant, haven't tried yet but heard good things Microfiber Hooray Spring!

Some quality stuff from a couple online vendors I've used many times in the past that happen to be board sponsors. Phil and his crew over at DetailersDomain.com are truly top notch and have some outstanding detailing supplies that usually can be hard to find. Greg and the other good folks over at DetailedImage.com are always increasing their line-up to include the best products out and consistently have some of the best customer service you'll find.
I look forward to hearing how you like all the products! |

this makes me sad that my car is going in for some paint work (hit and run), which is going to delay my spring cleaning by quite some time .
good information though! I generally stick to CG products, may have to check out Adams and Dodo. |

While technique and taking your time plays a huge role, good products help a lot for sure

This is a good amount of product! It makes me a little embarrassed that I have at least twice as much! I'm kind of afraid to take inventory like you did (wife might find the list).

I would compare it to women having lots of shoes, except I have over 20 pairs of shoes too. If you post in this section you likely have some obsessive/addictive personality traits

What she can't understand is how I wash my car by hand when it is 33*F!

Dont know much about Adam's but all the other stuff is legit. Wish I had some of that in my arsenal.
I just did a 1 step over the weekend. Worked out nicely. |
