I am getting my husband some detailing items for his birthday. Three weeks ago, I had never even heard of detailing clay. But during the last few weeks, I've read countless forums and created several lists of must-haves. However, due to budget restraints, I have had to cut out a lot of items and have narrowed it down considerably.
DH drives a cream pearl (maybe cashmere beige metallic?) Lexus LX470 and I drive a pure white Sonata. He keeps his car very clean, but isn't into detailing. He is more of a surface washer. The car is driven about 6000 miles a year and is always garaged. I don't see any swirls but do see a few minor scratches. My car is 3 months old so there are very few swirls, if any. Everything will be hand applied.
I picked up a few items locally:
I was going to place my order tonight but since ONR is out of stock, I thought it was a good time to ask for some advice. Out of the many online forums I have visited, AG is the most informative forum and I thank you all for your knowledge.

- Meg Holiday gift kit (Hot Rinse AWC, HS Tire Coating, Quik Interior Detailer, GC Liq Wax, GC Car Wash S&C, GC Pro Wash Sponge, GC Supreme Shine MF (I read this towel will creat swirls... can anyone confirm this?), GC High TEch Applicator Pad)- maybe not the best set but it was only $15
- Meg Scratch X
- 12 Vroom Premium Detailing MF Towels (orange from Target- figured if they don't work, I can use them in the house)
- Simple Green
- Clay - perhaps Mother's? I was going with CM but there were so many neg posts about it so now I am lost... HELP!
- Autogym Super Resin Polish (will I need ScratchX if I have this?)
- Polyseal
- AquaWax
- ONR and Sprayer
- Quality MF and WW MF towels
- Pair of Schmitts (wash and wheels)
- Grit Guard
