Default First Semi-Detail today

I scrambled around last night to get some thing to detail the S today.


I bought...
Cheap MF rags
Zaimol wax
Lexol celaner, conditioner, vinyl
wool wash mitt $5 type, I think they are good
applicators

I like lexol products, I plan on buying Raggtopp to clean top and also better wax, possibly Zaino.

I also need to but a clay bar and a shop-vac, anyone have a good electric pressure washer to recommend?

Also, I have many sites saved into favorites for supplies. I am not into shopping at 10 places to get what I need. What store is one of the best to get everything you need? A place that has a good mix of great things I can but all from them?

I will post some pics later on

I also a Porter Cable type buffer made by Black and decker and also a dewalt type buffer also made by B&D.

Thanks

The problem is most Paint & Body Shop Supply stores sell polishes in large quantities.

I know detailers domain doesn't want to hear this, but a good place to order alot of good stuff is autogeek.net.

I have 4 or 5 different polishes in 16 oz. bottles.

Detailers Domain does have some cool stuff though, and I will be ordering from them again. I got a foam gum from them. It's cool.

I wish I had the money to get some Saphire & Concours from Phil. Justa kinda out of my budget right now.

As far as the clay is concerned, I have bought the meguiars clay kit you can get from pep boys, but after I used it up, I ordered Sonus clay from Autopia.
