Been reading the forums for several days looking for input on keeping my cars looking good. However, I live in an apartment complex and don't typically have access to a water spigot or electrical outlets where my car is parked.
Will be maintaining a black 2016 Volkswagen GTI with black leather (weekender) and a silver 2006 Scion tC with black cloth (DD). Both cars are parked outside.
I'm looking for an easy-to-use and economic solution, not the absolute best.
Here is my shopping list so far:
2 5-Gallon buckets & 2 Grit Guards
Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax
Optimum Car Wash
Nanoskin Speedy Prep Sponge (Fine for GTI, Medium for tC)
Meguiar's DA Power System (with cordless drill)
3D HD Speed AIO
Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax
Meguiar's D101 All Purpose Cleaner
DP Leather Cleaner & Conditioner
Meguiar's Natural Shine Protectant
Will use various dilutions of ONRWW and D101 for different purposes. Still looking for a cost effective tire dressing/sealant with a matte or satin finish.
From what I've read here, these should all work well for both cars, and seem to be regular recommendations on the forums for ease of use and price/performance.
Anything I've overlooked?
Any input is much appreciated.
