Welcome Rob and happy belated birthday

As for the products your looking for, exactly what is it you already have

Hope to see you around
 
:welcome:
These are some of my favorite products:

Optimum No-Rinse: One of the most versatile products you will probably ever use. Makes a great waterless wash, a very economic Clay Lube, a good Quick detail, and even doe a great job softening the water in your normal wash.

Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine: clay lubricant, optimum rinseless wash, no rinse car wash, optimum detailing products

303 Aerospace Protectant: A plastic and rubber dressing that does a good job to preserve and shine your trim, weather-stripping, leather, vinyl, interior trim, tires, etc. I originally bought this as a highly-recommended and very affordable dressing to use on clients cars, but found myself using it on my daily driver and family's vehicles because it performs so well. I will say this much, I would not recommend this on exterior trim; in my experience, the use on exterior trim is 303 AP's only disadvantage.

303 Aerospace Protectant, 303 aerospace, 303 protectant, aerospace protectant, 303 products, 303

DP Universal Detailer's Clay: This is the first clay bar I've ever used, and I highly recommend it, just make sure to read up and be very well informed on the use of a Clay Bar.

DP American Made Car Care Products, exceptional car care, professional detailing products

Klasse All-In-One: Great cleaner sealant, that does a great job cleaning the paint, polishing, and leaving a good sealant base to protect your vehicle.

Dawn: Not very popular on to some, but does a great job for an initial wash. For a regular Maintenance wash, I recommend DP or Wolfgangs wash products.

Collinite #845: One of the best purchasing decisions you will ever make. Words are not enough. I have been using this for a short period of time, but I am amazed at how easy this product is to use, and how great a shine it gives for how long it will lasts.

Wolfgang Auto Bathe: My favorite wash product to date. I haven't use many different washes, but this stuff is just awesome. After a wash with this, you may notice your vehicles paint "pop" a bit more. Although, Wolfgang products are on the higher end side of the detailing spectrum.

Wolfgang Black Diamond Tire Gel: An awesome tire gel that gives your tires a good, dark, semi-gloss look that is not at all greasy!

Kwazar Mercury Pro+: Ok, these are not a necessity, but they are some really cool industrial grade spray bottles. No other bottle lives up to them, but again, not a necessity.

All in all, AG sells some really awesome products. These are just some of my favorites, I have never been disappointed with anything i have purchased from AG.

Hopefully you get some other suggestions; there are a lot of great people on this forum, and they make some great suggestions (well, most of them do.:props:)

Another note, if you are into getting a buffer, hopefully some of the other members will chime in, as I do not have one yet.
