What's In Your Detailing Arsenal

I have about 50 bottles of products that I didnt want to put on here because it they are OTC from starting this obsession 2-3 years ago.

Sometime I will get pictures of everything because I like looking at the garage pictures and everything.

But as someone else said.... come on people we need more replys.
 
Started to type some stuff out then realized...this will take way too long! :eek:
 
Really don't have time to type it all out, so I'll try to limit myself to favorites:

Haha.. I was doing the same exact thing but then I realized I have so much stuff I would have to keep on running in and out of the garage to list everything.

I dont want to remind myself of how much I've spend on detailing products.

How do you like the surbuf pads compared to ccs or something comparable to that? ive been looking into getting some but need some user feedback to convince me
Click to expand...

The Surbuf pads are awesome cutting wise but you MUST comb them frequently.. so kind of a pain to use. I still like them though, although expensive.. Surbuf and M105 do wonders.
 
I'm only in my third year of doing much of anything to my cars and only did my first ever PC polishing this spring, so my "arsenal" is kinda thin.

But I use Menzerna IP, Micro, and PO85rd, with KAIO, KSG and WGDGPS in various combinations, and have just added some Pinnacle LS as an LSP. 303 goes on the interior and tires, and recently some WG leather conditioner for the seats.
There's also PB white diamond for the white car and some P21s wax that I don't even bother with since the WGDG arrived.
Lexol cleaner, Megs APC, Megs, Pinnacle and Ebay clays, and whatever else I forgot.

All together I've gotten some pretty amazing shine and gloss out of my slate gray metallic DD, and the pearl white one looks pretty good too - and it sure is a far cry from the just Megs gold class liquid cleaner wax that I started with not three years ago. :xyxthumbs:
 
This is another thread that as I was reading it I was thinking "These guys have a lot of stuff!". So I decided to take an inventory. I was a little surprised at how much "stuff" I have of my own.

Wheels: Flash Brown Royal Wheel Cleaner,
Click to expand...

Excellent choice on that! I am local to Joe and his shop. He's a great guy and I like alot of their products. The Brown Royal is my wheel cleaner of choice for about 3 years now.

If you haven't tried Grape Gloss and the Presto interior dressing, those are great products as well.
 
Yeah and the thing I love so much about it besides its cleaning power is the fact that the rotors dont turn rusty colored after using it.
 
Much easier to take a pic ......... 2/3 of my inventory shown here:
