Gonna order some goodies..what do I get?

[hypnotzd27]

I plan on ordering some stuff within the next few days and am having trouble deciding what to get. I'm on a rather limited budget and have to do everything by hand. If possible I'd like to keep the order under $75. After browsing ADS I decided on a few things: 32oz. Hyper Dressing, 32oz. APC+, 32oz. Super Degreaser, PlastiX, Hot Rims Aluminum Wheel Cleaner. I have a decent collection of microfiber towels/applicators. Any other suggestions?

As of right now my collection consists of:
GC Car Wash
GC Liquid Wax
Smooth Surface Clay Kit
DC2 polish
GC Trim Detailer

What you're going to order together with what you already have is a pretty good arsenal of tools that should enable you to tackle just about anything that comes you're way.

What are you working on?
What condition is it in overall?
What is your goal?

Mike brings up a great point. We need to know what your dealing with and what you want to accomplish.

Do you really think you need SuperD and APC+? Usually APC+ will cover just about everything unless it gets really greasy(engine) then you need SuperD. Not getting that would save you a few bucks.

Make sure you get extra bottles for everything you order. APC+, superD, and hyper dressing come concentrated so you need to cut it down in other bottles. They come in their own bottles so you could pour them out into another cheap bottle and use the bottles they come in to dilute them, again, saving a few bucks.

You need a good paint cleaner and DC#1 does pretty good by hand.

If you dont have a grit guard then that would be a good idea to pick up from ADS.

I've got a dark green 99 Stratus which is in pretty good condition. There are some decent swirls in the paint and some minor scratches but nothing major. Some rust is starting to form on the bottom corners of the doors but its not too bad yet. Also some of the clear coat is peeling off the rear bumper along the edges. Basically I'm trying to prolong the life of the paint while trying to make it really shine. I want as much of a "WOW" factor as possible.

Stang - I plan on getting the UQD, I just forgot to put it in the list.

Yeah, don't forget to pick up a bottle or two of UQD. After you spend all the time getting a great shine with the products your getting, UQD after each wash will keep it looking great. Very little effort involved with using it and it looks great. I was just at the local BJ's(wholesale place) this past weekend and they had a two pack for $15! Yeah, $5 saving is pretty good. It's two of the normal bottles with a plastic piece holding the two together. I almost wanted to get two but I still have a full bottle and each bottle lasts quite a while.
