Re: lets see your supplies

The baby bottles come the Smooth Surface Clay kit.


vettemaniac, what is the vacuum looking thing on the right?

It is the vacuum that we use. We never use the handle or anything, but just put it on there for the picture. It is very small and portable, and I just wear it on my shoulder with a strap when I'm vacuuming. It has suction like you wouldn't believe. It's one made by Shark I think, I'm not sure of the exact model. It has the Hepa filter design and a dirt cup so it's real easy to clean.

Is it a Meguiars version or did you put a sticker on it?

It isn't Meguiar's, it's just an ADS sticker. We have 5 more to figure out what to do with!

Re: lets see your supplies

Sheesh, I'm pathetic, but I am learning still and no PC yet. LOL. (My camera is at my sisters house)

I have:
Clay kit (used cleaner wax and the QD already)
Bottle Quick Detail
Bottle Interior Quick Detailer
Bottle Natural Shine
Gallon (I think)Gold Glass Soap
Can NXT paste wax
Bottle Cleaner wax
Tube ScratchX
Bottle PlasticX
Bottle Carpet/Interior Cleaner-Great stuff
Bottle Hot Shine Tire spray
Gold Glass Foam Applicators
Costco pack MF towels-Seem to be okay.
Walmart bought MF applicators (use for tire stuff and natural shine)
Have a 6" orbital cheapie polisher but have put it aside cause I think the MF bonnets were scratching my paint, not sure yet. Using ScratchX by hand for the time being to work out swirls.

Not as much as you pro's out there but I am gaining slowly, the best part is the little woman likes it when I take care of her car I use my B&D work bench to put my tray of goodies on it when I work on it. I use square buckets from Laundry detergent we use at our Jail (we wash a lot of clothes) to store all my rags(MF, Red ones etc).

Have fun

Re: lets see your supplies

Here's my detailing "corner". Half of my microfibers are in the wash. I wish I would've seen kpagel's cabinet before I bought mine, I love the shelves in the doors!




And on the opposite wall I have my vacuum attachments, ran out of room on the wall with cabinets

^ I do the same thing with my #80. (I put in in a Meguiar's sqeeze bottle, I actually put my #80, NXT, #21 and GC soap in them too.)

I really like your set up for your vacuum attachments!

Thanks! I made them out of, believe it or not, pvc pipe and fittings. I used 1.5" for the 2" attachments and 3/4" for the 1.5" attachments. It worked out pretty well and didn't cost that much to do. Good idea on using the small bottles for the soap, I never thought of that. I'll have to give it a try!

I even measured out an ounce of water and placed it in the bottle and marked it so I know how much I am using once i filled it with soap. I can only wash my car about three times before I have to refill but it is better than luging around 1 gal of soap.

That's an even better idea! I'm definitely going to try that. It's kind of hard to guess how much is an ounce when you pour it out of the gallon.

Re: lets see your supplies

I thought for sure I posted my pics in here? It seems like alot of my posts have been disappearing lately?

Anyway, here they are:

BlueLibby,

Where did you get that Meguiars bag? Looks handy. Would a G100 fit in there along with a few pads and other supplies? I'm looking for something to tote my polisher in.

Thanks.
