hello and good morning everyone. i am looking to add new products to my detailing arsenal. here is a list of what i have. wanted some suggestions on what to add. some of the stuff is 5-7yrs old. dont know what the shelf life is. ill be adding a clay bar, tire protectant and whatever else you guys think. the cars i detail are the wife's 2015 nissan rogue and my 2012 nissan titan pickup. also what is a good way to tote my stuff around. i do my detailing at the firehouse inside of the truck bays to stay out of the sun.


PC 7424
LC 4in pads
wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant new
wolfgang paintworks polist enhancement new
menzerna intensive polish -old
mernzerna final polish II -old
chemical guys black light
chemical guys hybrid V07
poorboy world spray and rinse wheel cleaner
dodo juice born slippery
evercoat machine glaze-old
mothers back to black -garbage
3m rubbing compound- old
meguiars ultimate wash and wax soap
 
Clay bar: Meguiar's fine white clay is all I've used recently.

Tire protection: Carpro PERL and Poorboy's bold and bright are my two favorites. PERL is more versatile as a All around protectant.

As far as old polishes, I'd mix/shake the hell out of them and if they still look and smell as they looked new, I wouldn't get new polish
 
If I were starting over.... I would look to the entire McKee's 37 line-up. http://www.autogeek.net/detailers-pride.html

The reason being is Nick (formerly with AG) and Bob McKee (former founder and president of Autogeek) split from Autogeek to form McKee's 37. I'm putting words in Nick's mouth so he'll have to correct me, but he is pretty much what I would call a Product Manager and carefully works with engineering on all their products to make some of the finest, and easiest to use products.

There is a thread https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/mckee-s-37/115381-mckees-37-slow-take-over.html
Which reinforces why McKee's products are "taking over" most detailers shop cabinets.

Take a look at their offerings. I can say with certainty that I use:
McKee's 37 Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner
McKee's 37 Carpet Extractor Pre-Treatment
McKee's 37 Water Spot Remover
McKee's 37 Fast Interior Detailer
McKee's 37 Total Interior Cleaner
McKee's 37 Krystal Vision Glass Cleaner
McKee's 37 HD APC
McKee's 37 Engine Degreaser
McKee's 37 Wax remover for plastic trim
McKee's 37 Xtreme Iron Remover

NONE of these have let me down. I have not used any of the polishing, compounds or McKee's AIO or coatings because I have too much stock to go through of Pinnacle, Menz and HD Speed.

Hope this helps!
 
If your paint is in fairly good shape you can think about an AIO like McKee's 360. I have not used HD Speed which seems to be a fan favorite here. You can top the 360 with a good paste wax like Collinite 476s.

Collinite is great stuff-finally just started using it a few months ago.
Weekend detailing out on the bay floor is the best.

Doesn't look too bad to me.

Hopefully the Wolfgang DGPS is still good.

Polishes could still be good so long as they were stored well.

I'd say pick up a good rinseless wash and a good traditional wash soap.

McKees Rinse Free Wash and Wax is you want something with protection or N-914 if you don't. Even if you are not into to rinseless washing because they make an economical detail spray or clay lube.

And I'd go with a alternative clay product like a clay mitt or towel.
 
I currently have 4in pads. Should I get bigger pads or stick with the pads I have? I have orange, white and black. Any other colors?
