If you had.....

If you had $700 to buy products with, what would you buy? You only have either a DA or a rotary of your choice. Other than that, you have no other products. So, what would you spend the $700 buying?

Ahh, Dan. Lets see. You dont know the car. You dont know the years or colors. You have an unknown and know nothing about it. Dont know the owner, dont know diddly about the car.

Re: If you had.....

I really don't think this is a wise way to go about buying anything. You should do some thinking and buy only the products you need. Otherwise, your likely to buy numerous items that you'll never use.

Re: If you had.....

It's just hypothetical. Probably the only way I could buy that much LOL. But the answers are pretty good, another way to say what are your go-to products.

You might hang around the C&B (click and brag) forums and see what some of the pros are using make make your own decision on what products to buy.

Re: If you had.....

Assuming you have the Autopia recommended basics already (mfs, buckets, wool mitts, gs', pads for the buffer etc.) this is what I would buy to keep my families' cars looking their best (I'm not a pro) :

From Autogeek:

Autogeek Quart Foamaster Foam Gun with FREE BONUS
128 oz. Duragloss Car Wash Concentrate (CWC) #902
Optimum Polish
Optimum Compound
Duragloss Polish Bonding Agent (PBA) #601
Duragloss Total Performance Polish (TPP) #105
Pinnacle Souverän™ Paste Wax
Duragloss Marine RV Polish #501
128 oz. Duragloss Aquawax (AW) #951
Duragloss Wax Eraser (WE) #481
Duragloss Nu-Glass (NG) #755
Duragloss Bug Remover (BR) #471
Duragloss Rubber & Flat Black Dressing (RBD) #271
Glass Master Pro Glass and Surface Cleaner
Stoner Invisible Glass Pump Spray
1Z Einszett Cockpit Premium Interior Plastic Cleaner
1Z Einszett Rubber Care Stick “Gummi Pflege”
Klasse ALL-IN-ONE Polish 16.9 oz.
LANGKA Complete Paint Chip Repair Kit
P21S Wheel Cleaner-(Reg) 1000 ml Refill-(Reg) (33.8 oz.)

subtotal: $414.83

Top of the Line:

All Leather Master:

subtotal: $52.85

Detailed Image:

Menz Super Intensive Polish PO83 - 32 oz

Sub-total: $76.98

And I would still have enough left over for a LGCM and detergent

Ohh no, I already have plenty of products and am not looking for anymore, I was curious as to what everyone would spend their $700 on. I just thought it would be a fun thread. Its interesting to see how different, yet similar the orders are.
