Like the title says, I have about $70.00 to spend on product or accessories right now, but I'm not sure where to place it. My next car lined up is a black 2005 Volks Tourage, about 1100 miles on it, haven't seen it to verify condition.

Here's what I have so far:
2 orange lc pads
2 grey lc pads
AIO
SG100
Megs 83
NXT wash
a plethora of generic Wal-Mart microfibers.
Never-dul
Megs aluminum polish
Mothers Clay kit
Megs clay kit
Mothers all finish wheel cleaner.
Mother and Megs QD.
Mothers Interior QD
Armor All Foam

Any input is welcome.

Thanks,

does it have to be spent at AG? or can it be spent somwhere else.
Also what are you looking for, waxes, sealents, polsihes, tools, soaps, ect.? if we can norrow it down i can give u some good ideas.. well i think there good lol. If not i could make you a list till the cows come home
 
Thanks for the replies so far.

Just realized that I forgot to list the most important thing I have, which is a pc. I haven't had much look w/swirl removing yet, as the aio doesn't seem to be abrasive enough, and the 83 was a pain to remove when I tried using it on the wife's Dark Blue Altima.

Keep the ideas coming!!!

Since you have a PC and want to use it for swirl removal and already have some pads I would recommend adding a white pad and some Optimum Polish. OP is very user friendly for us yearlings. Start with the white pad and OP, if that doesn't do it go to the orange pad and then finish with the white pad.

I think I would pick out a decent sealant and wax. Maybe Duragloss 105 and some Duragloss Aquawax for starters. (Both applied by hand)

All this wouldn't cost you but $35.00 with the 20% off discount. That would leave enough for some clay and maybe a good drying towel.

BTW, your working too hard with the AIO if your using it with the PC. It's mainly a cleaner and sealant. Wipe on Wipe off.

You certainly want the Aquawax. And you can't beat the price!

There are lots of people who love Sovergin. With the santa20 code it will be under 70 bucks.

However i think there are better waxes for the price, check out victoria wax- concours. and the website is in CDN funds

I would also recomned you try the optimum polishes and componds, heck all there products are awsome. Maybe splurge on a few of there products,

Another idea mightbe to check out the DP line, it is know as the hiden gem of AG. I dont know what you are looking fro but they have alot of diffrent products.

Or you could just send it to me... ok ok i know its not funny, its one of those jokes a million people tell you and they think tehre funny.. but i had to cumon...

But really, if you could let us please know what you need, for example do you need a new wax, or a new wheel cleaner. From there im sure i could spend you 70 buck in a metter of minutes :D

Oh oh oh, I didn't see "Here's what I have so far:" Sorry about that. My bad!
I would agree with RFulmer. I've use Meg #83 and it's got to much dust for me. Poorboys SSR3 or Optimum compound has about the same cut as Megs #83 with less dust.
 
Thanks again for all of the input. I forgot all about the xmt kit, I've been wanting to try that line ever since I read about it on here.

Also, what tire gel would you all recommend, the dp, or something else?

I also add in that if your buying otc Micros, only stick with Targets Vroom brand or Viking that can be found in Kmart.
 
ShMitt orginal and Black one for wheels. (U find it under the WOW section:)
Guzzler (WOW)
DG 101, DG 105 and DG AW. maybe the DG 601
QuikShine from CK, if there are anny left. (WOW)
MG #82 is good, or the XMT series 1, 2 and 3 + glaze.
Or, add 30 bucks and go for the edge pad kit.
or win the lottery and buy the whole AG site, i know i would.......

Vroom ones don't work well for me. At least the drying towels. :(

I know i shouldnt have followd those links, that poorboys kit had my name written all over it. that Nattys blue PW have a pretty good rep, and that QD, how is that:

16 oz. Poorboy’s Spray & Gloss

Is that an "all over" type? plastic, windows etc

Sorry bfrance for lending your post.
 
spray and gloss is a nice product, a little concentrated. I prefer it on a slightly damp car. Spritz and final dry. Noticable difference in gloss. Use it on glass, wheels, car and more.
 
Thanks for all the input again everyone. I ended up ordering the Pinnacle XMT Intermediate swirl removal kit, looking forward to receiving it!

Next purchase will probably be Maxwax.
