There are a large, select group of products/tools everyone writes about over and over again. I was just curious what products/tools you love to use but are just not discuused that much on forums. My 3 are the following:

1. Edge Detailing Swabs - I love these guys as they help me working with wheels, door jams and engine areas

2. Pinnacle Foam Wax Applicators - obviously good for waxing but I also use them to dress tires (can get pretty good coverage of the full tire without having to back up the car), apply plexus on lights, apply UV protectant on dash, etc.

3. Hose Blocker - tried a cut milk carton but plastic is too thin, love the blockers, I think I would go postal otherwise.

1 my new dual action polisher
2 my extremely historic rotary:buffing:
 
I too love the Pinnacle applicators, good for everything and economical enough to replace as needed.

Foam Gun is another I truly love, as well as a leaf blower. Most valuable players in washing as often as I do.
 
DP Final Gloss Booster, XMT 360, Guzzlers, and a handlful others.
 
One hidden gem for me is my trusty Zaino Z-AIO. Strong cleaning agents to clean up my existing paint protection, polishes the paint, and seals in one step. Also cleans, polishes, and seals up glass, aluminum, chrome, and plastic.

I can't think of anything else right now that truly stands out to me.
 
Air compressor with a nice trigger at the end of the hose. I use it all the time for the interior and exterior.
 
Air Compressor and my Tornador. Dashboards,door jams,and gauge areas are a breeze now. Never leave home without my Tornador or my Flex!

Someone else mentioned that Tornador to me the other day. Where do you get them and does it work really well? Is it safe around electronics?


Thanks,

I thought a Tornador was one of those items you put in your air intake to create a tornado effect that supposedly saves gasoline and adds power. I too would love to know what one is...,
 
This is so awesome! :rolleyes:

DP clay (way better than Pinn)
DP sealant, got it free at detailfest and it looks amazing!
Pinn wax applicators, Megiurs cause swirls on Jap clear.
Cobra waffle weave glass towels

Detailking sells them, there are some videos of it in use on youtube.com
 
Poorboy's Professional Polish: Very versatile. Can be used on virtually every exterior surface. When used with Flex and the right pad it can do some decent correction. Easty to work with. Just great overall.

Mothers Reflections Line: Leather Care and Tire Care are great products that give great performance at OTC prices. The Car Wax and Top Coat aren't too shabby either.
 
i also love my mothers powerball mini. works great on motorcycles
 
My favorite product would be Pinn Paste Glaz I mean it just really makes white wet as can be (on it's own).
I actually use my vent/crevice double side brush quit a bit. When I get to work early I just reach for it and start detailing my interior (almost every day).
 
Optimum Opti-Seal. Nice sealant for wheels for someone lazy to buff them off later. Love it's wipe on walk away application method.
