Need help and your input!

[3Fitty]

Alright gents, I just got wifey approval to put in another ADS order and I want to list what I have, so that you can give me your input about what I NEED to add. When you tell me what I need, please tell me why, in your opinion, I need to add it to my arsenal.

Keep in mind, I'm just a weekend warrior and really only work on my own cars and a few friends.

Here is what I have in my arsenal. Some of the things (like QID I have 4 bottles of but I'm not going to list the amount I have, just assume I have more than one of everything )

Wash:

NXT
GC Wash

Clay:

Megs Claybar
Clay Magic

Cleaners:

DC Paint Cleaner
Scratch X
ColorX
#80
#83 (thanks Scott)

Polish:

DC Polish
#7

Wax/Sealant:

NXT 2.0
GC Wax
NXT 1.0
Cleaner Wax

Tires:

Endurance Highgloss
NXT Insane Shine

Wheels

Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner (don't really use it on my cars)
Quick Wheel Detailer

Others:

Hyperdressing
Meg's APC
Natural Vinyl Shine
Quick Detailer
UQD
NXT Spray Wax
NXT Detailer
Simple Green APC
QID
PlastX
Lexol Cleaner + Conditioner
Stoner Glass Cleaner
Mother's Mag and Rim
Poorboy's crummy Wheel Sealant
G110 + various pads (sufficient for now)
2 Grit Guards
Water Magnets
Lambs wool mitt

---------------------------------------

I think that is everything although I may have forgotten some things.

Here is what I'm thinking of adding:

- More hyperdressing (1 gallon)
- Glass Cleaner (detailer line - I've been told it is quite good so I want to get a gallon and use it in the house as well)
- All Season Dressing
- #21 (so many people raving about it)

Am I missing something obvious? Let me know guys.

Plastic polish: light polish for the dash display and lens.
Wheel brush: You will need it for cleaning hard to reach areas

PASSION: Can not be bought anywhere. Create your own.

I was going to suggest what you typed above (except as you know to get dedicated bottles ). How many towels do yo have? If/How many Meguiars Terry Cloths do you have (they work great for windows)? Do you really have enough pads?(the new washable ones are nice). I would add some Chrome polish unless you don't do enough chrome.....or NXT All Metal Polysh. More clay bars maybe, may get a buddies car that just destroys your clay. Had it happen.

Can't think of anything else, check all your supplies and see if you low on anything.....

Oh yeah.....maybe some M105??? or the kit, cheap for what you get in the box. Oh yeah, some M151 Paint Reconditioning Cream....or a sample bottle (which is what I may do see if I really like it or will use it a lot).

Have fun I get to do the same thing friday hopefully

Re: Need help and your input!

I have about 50 MF towels of various degrees of quality. I also have several wheel brushes (I think 5 different kind).

As for 105 or 151... I was thinking they are probably more aggressive than I need, but ADS has a really small sample of 151 which looks VERY tempting.

As for chrome... other than my tailpipe, I have no chrome on either car. The washable pads are very tempting. Maybe.

Keep the ideas coming. Thanks guys.

3fitty,

Do you work on any dark colored cars black,dark blue, or dark greys? If so I would add a tin of #26 to your order. I just finished a black maxima that I posted here and 26 really made the black look liquid. Just my .02

Re: Need help and your input!

yeah, forgot about #26, good stuff, I love it.

dump the chrome polish and get 26, seal it over 21 or so I've read Never tried it (yet).

Re: Need help and your input!

I would definitely go for the sample sizes you can get on ADS of 105 of 151. I have heard nothing but POSITIVE reviews. Who knows when you are going to need some serious paint correction?

Are you at all interested in a rotary?

[3Fitty]

Re: Need help and your input!

Okay, I'll buy some 26 as well (didn't take a lot of convincing) and some 151 but I don't see myself getting a rotary (yet). I've had my G110 for about 3 months now and still need to work on perfecting my work with it before I step up to a rotary.

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Re: Need help and your input!

Yeah definitely get some D151!!

Have you considered on using a different shampoo?
Shampoo Plus is GREAT, I tried it and changed to it.

[3Fitty]

Re: Need help and your input!

Too late Yalerd (on the shampoo). I just put in my order at ADS.

Here's what I got:

Hyperdressing
Glass Cleaner
All Season Dressing
#40
#151
#21
#26
Lambs wool wash mit
Grout sponge

I think this will round out my arsenal pretty good, so I don't expect to be doing any ADS ordering for a while.

Re: Need help and your input!

Did you get #21 or #21v2?

Just wondering.

[3Fitty]

Re: Need help and your input!

V 2.0... http://autodetailingsolutions.com/me...ic-sealant.htm

Really the same as NXT 2.0 (which I have three bottles of, but oh well).

How about some APC+? I just got my order in 2 weeks ago. I did get the 12oz bottles of M105 and D151.

Re: Need help and your input!

I'm waiting to see what the August special is. I'm hoping Soft Buff 2.0 pads!

Re: Need help and your input!

Sample size of 105 or 95, never know when you need the extra umph
D151 when you do not need to spend hours polishing out the car a simple one step is great
NXT metal polysh it works and a great price
Hyper dressing very veristile
All Season dressing wheels and wheel wells
M135 get the gallon this stuff is great
M40 a great interior product and price that can not be beat
APC or APC +, great to have one of these they have so many uses
Black WOW
Last touch great for door jams and as a clay lube very cost effecient
#80
#82
#83 do not think these 3 need explaining

I would hold off on the #21 if you have bottles of NXT 2.0, just wait till you run low.
For the groute sponge Lowes has them, down the cleaning aisle they are the Proline Brand and are GREAT under $2 and local
PC Carpet brushes great help for interior cleaning
