Looks good. All great products. I really would only change two of them. I would change the clay lube out for some DP waterless wash that you can dilute to a lube or qd strength. Save you some money that way. I would change the drying towel to the mothers drying towel.

These are just my opinions though. Take it for what its worth.
 
I love Born Slippy so in my opinion I wouldn't change that.

I would change the wash mitt to the 3 sheep wash pads.

I would change the sealant to Menzerna Power Lock.

I would get Opti-Bond or maybe DP Gel tire dressing.

I would get a different shampoo like Ultima.

I usually don't use a quick detailer so i would take off tropical mist, but that's just me.

I don't know why you are using Paint Guard Plus for dressing as it is a sealant/spray wax. I would use ultima tire and trim guard or poorboys trim restorer or Meguiar's Hyper dressing for wheels, trim and wheel wheels.

I don't see a glass cleaning product so I would get Meguiar's D120 Glass Cleaner and the bottle that comes with it.

I would go to PakShak, or some other place to buy better microfibers.

I would get some APC+ from Meguiar's or maybe some OPC instead of the DP interior stuff and possibly some 303 AP or Cockpit Premium.

I would change your Klasse for Menzerna PowerFinish.

That's just me.
 
The Pinnacle Shampoo would be history in my books. Optimum, Ultima Dodo make better products that are way more economical IMO. I don't like the Klasse twins. Pehaps Optimum Poli-seal would fit better there and just top with the 845. I like the DP tire Gel. Double the amount as the Pinnacle for about the same price. Of course just my opinions here! Nice order tho!
 
Good products...really just depends how much you want to spend. I agree that the pinnacle shampoo is a little pricey.

Do you have some type of polisher? If not, I'd start with a polisher, maybe a porter cable and base your order around that. Add some type of polish on top of that order.

The grit guard combo is a bit overpriced I think. You get the dolly sure, but otherwise, I'd just by the grit guards and get some buckets at lowes or home depot.

Also might consider the mothers lambwool mitt....a little cheaper and gets good reviews.

The microfiber kit seems like a good buy, but if you're trying to keep costs down at all, I'd do the guzzlers than a pack of 6-12 quality MF to tide you over.
 
Yikes! Looks like I may need to make some changes in my order
 
I really do appreciate all the comments and responses. One thing, I really love the beach, palm trees, so I do like the exotic smells!!!!

Yea a few but overall not bad. :laughing:

As I mentioned, Pinnacle Shampoo is a mild general purpose soap. It does a decent job on your daily driver but falls short in my opinion if the finish is extremely dirty or hasn't been washed for quite some time. Additionally, Pinnacle Shampoo is awfully pricy. Personally, I like Duragloss 901 and for $5.99 for the same amount it's money well saved!

Duragloss Car Wash Concentrate #901

If I were to add something to your list it would be a dual action polisher and a decent supply of 5 1/2" flat pads.


Porter Cable 7424xp

Porter cable 7424xp, 7424xp, Porter Cable 7424XP Dual Action Polisher, Porter Cable polisher, car polisher, buffer, sander-polisher

Lake Country 5 1/2" Flat Pads

Lake Country 5 1/2 x 7/8 inch Beveled Edge Pads 6 Pack, foam pad kit, build a kit, buffing pads, curved edge pads

Over $500 ask for a free Autogeek banner!!
 
As an example, this is what the silver finish on my 1999 Dodge Dakota SLT looks like after paint correction, Menzerna Power Lock Paint Sealant, and topped with Collinite 845.

With so many easy to work with products, I would stay away from the Klasse Glasse. The AIO is good stuff though.

I would get the Menzerna Powerlock as well. I personally dont even think it needs to be topped. Thats the latest sealant out, and imo is easiest to use and sets up extremely quickly. I do two circles around the car without delay and no wait time. apply, than remove by the time I get back to the front of the car. its super slick and a little goes a long way.

I could understand you may want to work by hand with the Klasse aio, but you will soon realize a PC is a great tool for even applying sealant and wax's and I suggest you keep your eye on one. You will probably want one sooner rather than later, especially after you catch up on some reading on the forum and how to articles.

Check out Mike Phillips how to articles to get a good idea of basically every area of detailing and most products that AG sells.

good luck ! :)
