Default Detailers, get in here.

So, I'm sorting through my inventory and trying to figure out if I'm needing anything else for this year. Figured I'd post up some of the stuff that I've acquired over the last couple of years. I've thrown a lot of the crap OTC stuff away. Let it be known, I'm not going for quantity here, I'm trying to pick up quality stuff when I get the cash flow.

Still have to go get some new clay bars & a few other things like interior cleaner/protectant, I have been using DP, but it's just a pain in the *** so I'm considering replacing that with some pinnacle or maybe PB.. I've completely replaced my microfibers for this year and my polishing pads as well.

Post up, let's see what you guys are using these days!

I totally forgot about the Stoners tire shine. Ive been using wolfgang black diamond tire gel. Its good but i remember the stoners being much easier.

I couldn't fit all my **** in one picture. I have like 3, 6 foot high shelving units completely filled. haa. I gotta make an autogeek purchase. I need clay.

What the hell is that T handle thing, some kind of glorified wheel lug hole cleaner?

I have just this to say- Amazing roll off cleans anything. Once I run out of the current degreaser, wheel cleaner, and vert top cleaner I'll just buy more ARO. I have some diluted for interior cleaning as well.

Also, expensive waffle-weave MF towels for glass cleaning are completely worthless. Newspaper all the way.

I still need to try some waterless wash to experiment with that.


Less expenses = more profit woot.

I use the Meguiar's Mirror Glaze line, swirl remover, cleaner wax, glaze, #26 you have there, and 2.0 Synthetic sealant. I also have some Mother's products like Back to Black, and a splattering of other randon OTC products.

I love the Stoners More shine, it's got just the right mix of matte + shine and doesn't splatter at all.

I didn't realize that they had come down so much, they used to be stupid expensive for something so simple.. May have to grab a set.

Yeah, it's a lug cleaner, pretty nifty little tool actually. Especially for wheels like ours that have recessed lugs.

Amazing Roll-Off is good stuff. I like it for underhood & fenderwells, but it's just too expensive to justify @ $25-26/gallon. I can just as easily use greased lightning or simple green and a little bit of cheap tire/plastic shine and achieve the same result for way less $$..

I got a great deal on all new MF towles this winter and the Waffle weaves that I got are nothing short of amazing, they are 1,000,000,000x's better than any Cobra MF towel ever. I've turned to the Electric leaf blower drying technique now though.

I've heard good stuff about the PB waterless wash.

WTF are you doing with Meg's ULTRA CUT compound? You are just asking to **** up your paint with that **** considering I dont see any other lower level of cut compound there.
