I just got my car infiniti q45 and my truck chevy trailblazer detailed by the dealer.

I purchased Mike E-book which is a great help. I want to keep them show room clean, what the next steps with out messing up what i just paid for.

what starter kit do you suggest.
Thanks
 
The first step is not starting two threads with the same topic in different categories for your first two posts.
 
Post pictures of the current condition of your vehicles and your goals.
 
The first step is to learn how to wash your car without putting swirls in. Most damage comes from improper washing.

Get these:
2-3 buckets (soap/rinse/wheels and tires)
good soap
Good wash mitt
good drying towel
good microfiber towels
apc or dedicated tire and wheel cleaners
Wheel brush or dedicate cheap wash mitt for wheels
Tire dressing
Glass cleaner
Clay bar
Good paint sealant
Spray wax for in between full waxes/sealants

This is the best advice. Really, when you detail as a hobby - most of your time should be just spent keeping your car clean. How you do this will determine how the car looks - assuming it started out looking proper.
 
Unfortunately you paid for a half a** detail from a detailer. In a weekend you could do better on both vehicles even starting out. But like said above, get some good products for the wash procedure and start doing some reading on different threads here for different techniques. I'm no pro, but a lot better than I was two years ago thanks to AGO. W welcome btw.
 
Pure shine,

Thanks Kengo123 and Swanicyouth, after reading Mike ebook and reading on the forum i believe the vehicles look good. Just purchased from autogeek washbucket kits and tire/wheel kits.

That's a great start, you're well on your way. Again if you could post some pics it would help the forum members be better able to help you with your vehicles and point you in the right direction.
