So I was going to place an order a few weeks ago and decided to hold off and do a little more research. Then had to budget for a clutch, etc. I'm ready to place my order and think I have figured out what I want to order, but figured I would run it by the forum trolls... I mean experts :laughing:

This will be mainly to correct the swirls on my 09 Black Corvette and maintain the finish, which is a daily driver (About 4-6k miles per year if I keep on pace with my last 2 trucks). I'll probably also correct my parents vehicles or at least wash & wax them (no fuzion on them, I'm not balling like that lol).

I have some fresh clay laying around, left over from when I clayed the car about 3 weeks ago. Amongst other random OTC car care products.

Any advice/input is welcome. I'll most likely put my order in late late tonight or early in the morning.

Lots of towels, lots! So add more! Also get some APC, what about the interior, everyone always only lists exterior stuff. But you spend more time in, than out of your car!
 
iron-x is a great product....

i kept reading about on here and had to get it.... and it does wonder on that baked in brake dust on my bmw rims
 
Haha, I figured I'd start off light with the MF towel addiction, I already have like 100 of the multipurpose ones laying around with a few drying/buffing style as well.

Maybe megs apc? I thought about the iron-x, hmm. Brake dust isn't really a problem so far, but I pull the wheels after any "spirited" driving and clean them/wipe them down at the least. So maybe that has helped. I know when I leave it on my truck rims too long polishing them out is a royal pain, but then again 35/20 combo on stock f150 brakes = lots of brake dust lol.

About the interior I still have a ton of otc interior products at the moment, mostly megs. I was going to use that up and then debate on what to try next.

add in some all purpose cleaner and you need some spray bottles. Also I would suggest chemical guys fabric clean for interiors upholstery and carpeting along with a horse hair brush.
