Many thanks for members for all the great suggestions and content. Special shoutout for Cardaddy for all his posts on MFT microfiber towels
Brought home my new 2016 Honda Pilot (Black) on Saturday and spent the whole weekend detailing it. Dealership was very good to leave it AS IS right off the truck. I probably looked crazy driving it on the highway with plastic and foam door pads all over it but the paint is now flawless and ready for my wife and two young children to abuse!
What I bought and worked great so far
Decontamination:
- Iron-X
- Pinnacle Ultra Poly
DA:
- Griot's 10813LNGCRD (6" with 25' cord)
Finishing Polish:
- Menzerna SF-3500 (used a white pad to enhance paint)
Sealant:
- Menzerna Power Lock (2 coats)
Wax:
- Menzerna Color Lock (1 coat)
Washing:
- CG MTM Foam Gun
- Meg's D110 Hyperwash
- Meg's D114 Rinse Free Express
- CG Mr. Pink & Honeydew Snow foam
- Grit Guards
- Meg's MF Washmitt
- Lakecountry Wash Wedge
- Mothers Wheel Brush Kit
Cleaners:
- Meg's D108 Super Degreaser
- CG AllClean
- CG Diablo Wheel Cleaner
Finishing Detailers:
- Meg's D156 X-Press Wax
- CG VRP
MFT Towels:
- T365YS (24)
Used these for sealant removal
- T705GYB (8)
Great for waterless washes
- T605G (15)
Great for waterless
- TWK460BS2536 (2)
Should have bought more, very impressive
- T535BS (15)
Fantastic for LSP removal and used to take off Color Lock
Misc:
- I really like the Lakecountry CCS Euro Foam Hand applicators for wax and sealant application. I have some of the Meg's yellow discs and a few from CG but I like the Euro's the best
I haven't gotten into any coatings for rims or paint yet as the Pilot is my DD.
