Almost set for full detailing… new detailing tools

I’ve slowly been populating an inexpensive cart to store detailing supplies. It is almost ready for action, though I’ve already run out of room on it. It has my polishes, waxes and microfiber towels in separate bins with lids on a lower shelf. The drawers hold my random orbitals, and pads for the random orbitals. Each pad type (compounding, polishing, glass polishing, waxing, wax removal) is in a separate Flambeau case to keep them free of dust and organized. In all likelihood, I will move some of the polishing stuff to a different cart at some point, since I don’t polish during every detail. That would leave more room for spritzes and the like on my supply cart.

I recently received a Grit Guard dual bucket wash system from AutoGeek. The 5-gallon buckets are on dollies (5 wheels each), and each bucket has a grit guard and a gamma-seal lid. I also received a seat cushion which can be used on top of one of the buckets when the bucket lid is on.

I’ve also purchased the Mothers Wheel, Well and Tire brush kit, as well as the RaggTopp natural horsehair brush to clean the ragtop from AutoGeek.

My most recent polish purchases include Menzerna POS34A (PG 1000) Powergloss compound, Menzerna PO91E (IP 2000) Intensive Polish, Menzerna PO85U (FF 3000) Final Polish, Menzerna PO85RD (UF 4500) Ultimate Finish and both of the Griot’s glass polishes. I still have some older Menzerna Final Polish II, some Menzerna Finishing Glaze, various 3M polishes, plastic polishes, etc.

My most recent sealant purchases include Wolfgang Deep Gloss Sealant 3.0 and Wolfgang Deep Gloss Spritz Sealant. I still have some older Menzerna FMJ.

My most recent microfiber towel purchases…

Two of the large pocketed waffle-weave drying towels from Griot’s:

A 26×35″ pocketed waffle-weave drying towel from Chemical Guys:

Six 24×16″ Fluffer Miracle Supra Microfiber Towels from Chemical Guys:

and three 24″x17″ Big Monster Microfiber Extreme Thickness Microfiber Towels from Chemical Guys:

I will definitely be buying more towels from Chemical Guys; the ones I received are very nice and their pricing is better than any other top brand.

I’ll take some more pictures of the new stuff and post them before or during my first spring detailing.
