First I wanted to say just how glad I am that I found this AWESOME site!!!
It has revealed to me that I've been doing it all wrong for man years. So,
I'm trying to rebuild my cleaning supplies and start doing things right. I
would appreciate any thoughts, etc. that all the pros here could share with me.
For my first order, I've put together the following. I'm happy with the interior
products (mainly meguiars) that I have, for now. Also, I have invisible glass
for the windows and some meguiars products for my wheels. I hope to replace
these items when I have the money, but can only do so much. Oh, I also have
meguiars gold class that I use for washing. So, with that said...this is what I'm
thinking I need to get started.

Deluxe Filter System
Autogeek Foam Gun
DP Xtreme Foam Formula Auto Shampoo
DP Max Wax
Pinnacle Polishin’ Pal Combo
Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay Special
Pinnacle Safe Scrub Bug & Tar Pad
Pinnacle Micro Rejuvenator Microfiber Detergent
Cobra Micro-Chenille Wash Mitt
The Guzzler Combo Kit
Cobra Microfiber Towel Multi Pack
Grit Guard Insert (2) -- already have buckets.

I think I still need some polish and/or sealant. Not sure on what to order.

I hope to purchase a PC 7424 polishing kit for my birthday and maybe some
Pinnacle wax. Currently I need to get the basic items to detail my wife's car
(silver accord). My truck can wait a couple of months. It is black, and I would
like to have the PC when I polish it. So, what do you all think? Is there anything
in the list that I don't currently need or any items (of a lesser value) that would
work better. The total is a little steep and I've tried to limit it to the basics.
But, as I've learned in the past, you get what you pay for and it's better to do
it right the first time.

Thanks in advance!!!
 
I would swtich the Pinnacle MF reju for the Cobra one. (its a little bit more in $ but you get a GALLON)

I would also grab a gallon of the DG wash. Works REALLY WELL with a foam gun and its cheap!

Menzerna rules all when it comes to polishes!

Thanks for the info...
Can I use the DG wash instead of the Foam Auto Shampoo?
Or should I buy it for washing the vehicle after I spray it with
the foam. Please bear with me, still trying to figure it all out. :)
 
U can use DG for BOTH the foam gun and regular wash. Ask all the questions you want!
 
I know this is basic....but what do I need to use to strip off wax and then apply to protect the car. I will have to do this all by hand, b/c I don't have a PC yet. I've read that dish detergent is not recommended.

I plan to use the foam gun (and whatever solution I need to strip the car).
Then what do I need? Polish and/or sealant???
After that, it's my understanding that I should apply the wax and finish it
up with some QD. Does this sound about right?

Just trying to map it all out.

thanks!
 
U can use a precleaner, or alchohol mixed w water 50/50.

I would really recommend getting a PC, hand polishing doesnt really do anything for me.
