    Just tell me what to buy for home use

    I don't want to think and spend weeks comparing.
    Just tell me what to buy.
    I will use it on my 2 cars a few times a year.
    I want the best value. Not the top of the line.
    Something good enough for my use.

    Re: Just tell me what to buy for home use

    Not trying to be a downer here but anytime I think I might use a product for my car, I spend more than a few weeks thinking and doing research.

    I'm not the type to be lead around by a nose ring.

    If you want to be told what to spend your money on for each product, you need to be more specific.

    Car model and year:
    Color:

    What type of product:

    and more:

      What kind of product(s) are you actually looking for? Compounds? Waxes? Tire dressings?

      What condition is the vehicle in and what are you trying to achieve?

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

          what is the bottom line on dollar amount?

          Just get a Harbor Freight and be done with it. I used it to do a boat and show my buddy how to use it.
          Beat the **** out of it and it worked great. It sells for $70. You need to spend money on pads and a different backing plate.

                I'd recommend hopping on YouTube .. search "detailing cars" and learn. Heck even search Gary Dean if you want my slant on things. Products are a personal choice, but I will throw a couple at you that are some of my staples: Megs D114, Megs D156, Griots Speed Shine, Megs Ultimate Wax, Megs Ultimate Polish, Mothers Clay kit, Megs D101 & lots of micro-fiber towels.

                  Good starters. You need to figure what else you need.
