  • What else should i get???

    Hey guys, im ready to start detailing for a business this year and i need to know what else i need to get, as well as what more i need to get of what i already have to make detailing a success for me. Heres a thread with pics i posted last year from my first ADS order. I also have a plethora of OTC products, many of them older, but still avail. to my use.



    What i need to know, is what more i need to get and what i need to add to what i already have.

    Thanks guys!

    i also already have UWW, UP, UC, SwirlX, Scratchx2.0, GC wash, various tire dressings, 5 boxes of the 2009 show car shine kit, parts of the DC 3 step clean/polish/wax, GC wax (old version), i have hot rims all wheel cleaner, not much for interior as far as upholstery cleaning/carpet cleaning.

    that should give a general idea of what i have, i have other OTC stuff but i cant obviously remember it all.

    From here you could probably give me a general idea whats needed.

      Plenty of microfiber towels, buffing pads, carpet & tire brushes, etc always come in handy.

      What are you using to transport all this stuff, assuming you're going mobile here? There are several medium sized carts available from various sources that will let you carry a ton of stuff in a rolling fixture that should fit easily into the back of even a small truck or hatchback. Once you get to the job site this will make life a bit easier for you.

                If the only W8207 Polishing Pads you have are the three shown in your other post, get more.

                Do you have any pure polish - Deep Crystal Polish or M07?
                How about ColorX or D151 for those times when just a really cleaner wax will get the job done?

                              Really? I was going to buy some to use with 105 and my DA. So, what's the preferred pad for cutting on a DA?
