Well, I got most of my detailing list together as follows:
Car wash for first time details (wax and bug stripper) - Dawn dish soap (original, unscented)
Car wash for regular details - Meguiar's Gold Class Shampoo and Conditioner car wash
Clay bar - Meguiar's Mirror Glaze detailing clay (mild, blue)
No rinse wash/clay bar lube/quick detailer - Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine (128:1 no rinse wash, 64:1 clay bar lube, 16:1 quick detailer)
Wheel well/engine bay degreaser - Purple Power cleaner/degreaser (5:1 cleaner/degreaser)
Wheel cleaner - Eagle One A2Z All Wheel and Tire Cleaner
Tire dressing - Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance tire gel
Wheel/exhaust tip polish - Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish
Buffer/polisher - Porter Cable 7424
Pad conditioner - Pinnacle XMT Polishing Pad Conditioner
Heavy/medium swirl/scratch remover - Meguiar's Mirror Glaze #105 Ultra-Cut Compound
Intermediate/light swirl/scratch remover - Meguiars Mirror Glaze #205 Ultra Finishing Polish
Paint sealant - Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0
Wal-Mart 70% isopropyl alcohol (1:1 for wipedowns)
Wax - Pinnacle Souveran paste wax
Glass - Stoner Invisible Glass (aerosol can, not spray bottle)
Glass sealant - Rain-X spray bottle (at owner's digression)
Sticker/emblem/badge/etc. remover - 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover
Leather cleaner - Meguiar's Gold Class rich leather aloe cleaner
Leather conditioner - Meguiar's Gold Class rich leather aloe conditioner
Interior cleaner/detailer - Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer cleaner (non-greasy stuff)
Interior freshener - Febreeze Auto
It was recommended that I try a different interior scent. Also, I figured I might try a carpet cleaner although generally I will just rent a Rug Doctor to do interiors and just regularly vacuum. And lastly, I figured I should get a trim dressing. What do you guys recommend?
