I was home from work waiting for a contractor do some work on the house on a drizzly day. My wife was on the phone as usual and I got bored. What a great day to take pictures and post my detailing stuff. Let me know what's missing...

LSP's you can't have enough of 'em. However if a few more end up in my basement, who's to blame.

Liquid Waxes. I ordered a Colli cleaner wax and the vendor (not AG) sent me more 845. I couldn't bring myself to return it.

Yeah, I got Klasse but I love that WGDGPS.

Liquid waxes keeps the world on it's axis (yeah, corny but it rhymed).

Some people are koo-koo for Co-Co Puffs, I was greedy for Griots. LOL

I can't have just one bottle of MF and Pad cleaner. Oh no, no, no. That would totally condesend my OCD ness.

Plenty of QD's and Waterless Wash stuff but maybe I need more...

Don't forget the trim and everything else...

About 200 soft, cushy MF towels. My rear end doesn't get treated this good...

It almost killed me to spend money on this...

Then my OCD led me to this...

And this...

Some people one need one or two. Nahhhh. I'm too crazy for just one or two...
I think I want a Rupes even though I can't justify it. But then again I can't justify all this other stuff either.

This is just some of the detailing stuff I have. I have 3 other AG orders coming in today. I gave up trying to find help for this. I just go with it now.

Finally I see the light.

Thanks for looking.
 
Ever thought of keeping a running total of the $ spent on supplies?

I know exactly how much I have spent over the years... I keep a nice spreadsheet. It is what really makes me think "do I need that" before making another purchase... but let's face it, usually the spreadsheet guilt gets pushed aside and I buy it anyways. :)
 
That's some pretty nice stuff you got there. Have you ever tried any other waterless washes besides Griots?
 
Oh my.

And I don't tally up my $...I think that would asking for a heart attack, or at least palpitations. However, before I buy the latest and greatest tire dressing, for example, I go down and look at my bottles of tire dressing and try and figure out how many years worth I already have, and try to tell myself that I won't even get to use this new stuff for 2.5 years...and then I buy it anyway :p

AG, Amazon and Ebay all allow you to see the history of what you spent. I have a rule that says, "looking at how much I've spent is against the rules".

I love ONR and Garry Dean's Infinite Use Detail Juice. A little of both goes a very long way. They are also good clay lubes.

LOL Setec, at first I hem and haw about buying it and then I start reading what you guys say about it. Then it becomes the latest and greatest stuff on the market. you guys don't help me with my addiction at all. LOL I think I'm gonna have to put all this stuff in my will.
 
No doubt about it, you've got it bad......:laughing:

Nice collection and a host of options depending on the situation. Having several options on hand is much better than having too few....:props:

4 or 5 more good size orders and you'll be much better.....:props:
 
Thanks for sharing! I need to work on my microfiber collection!
 
:urtheman:Dude its looks like your opening an Auto Geek Online satellite store...lol
 
Is that for personal use or do you detail as a business?
 
Some people collect baseball cards. Everyone here collects things from the Geek. :xyxthumbs:

AG keeps tabs on your orders too (as long as you were logged in at the time, (IE not a phone order). I find it a bit of hit and miss though, because some of my stuff is there, and some isn't. :dunno:

I know the next time I see something on BOGO, and wonder whether or not I *really* need it.... I'm gonna' PM you and get you to buy it. (Then buy the extra one from ya'! ) :laughing:

How do you like those wheel woolies? Are they long lasting?
Click to expand...

I think I was the one that 'convinced' the purchase of the 'woolies'. ;)

The hardest part of them is gripping them when they are covered in cleaner. Lowes has a package of non-slip tape strips (8 to a package) for something like $4 that I tried on mine. Get the angle right and just twist them around the handles and they do a great job. Warning: They DO shed little pieces of grippy sand for a while. (Although it doesn't really bother me on wheels and wheel wells.)
 
I like the variety you have presented. Great lines and great products!!

Greedy for Griot's was my favorite!! hahaha
