Okay everyone. I was gonna do a big order on chemical guys but I was wondering if there are better products out there in the same price range. I'm looking to spend about $200 plus the cost of a DA polisher pads and polish.
Looking for good products such as
Soaps
Wax
Sealants
Microfibers
Wheel brushes
APC
Degreaser
Etc. basic detailing needs. Wanting to stock up for summer.
Any help and or advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
CG Mr. Pink and Honeydew are about the only things you'd want.
Wax; If you must, Meguiar's M26 Yellow Wax (
which is a hybrid sealant wax). It has incredible depth and gloss.
Instead, go with a sealant. Over the counter, Meguiar's M21 2.0. Online, Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 (or Menzerna Power Lock).
Microfiber; Microfiber Tech 360 gsm dual-plush, 530 gsm dual-plush and for the nice stuff, their 470 gsm Korean split weave edgeless towel. (
That one is actually a 513 gsm, but Ian still uses 470 in his description as that is what the early ones were in 2013.) Another choice is The Rag Company.
Wheel brushes; Wheel Woolies (
especially if you have painted wheels) or the large and small Daytona brushes. Another brush for wheels that cleans around lug nuts, or if you have multi-piece wheels with all the little bolts, would be the 1" boars hair with the black plastic handle.
You'd also do good to get the Mother's long handle brushes, or even the 3 brush set. If not the 3 brush set, then get the Carrand tire brush. Also get the Carrand tire gel applicator brushes (2 to a pack).
Degreaser; Purple Power. You'll want a good APC though. Meguiar's 101 is one and Duragloss also makes a good one. I started using that one (
along with Meguiar's and others) last fall as it can be diluted twice as much as anything else out there.
