New Guy Who Finally Saw the Light

So after years of hand detailing and using the Meguiars 3-Step system, I have decided to finally invest in quality products and do the job the right way. So far this is the list of products I have purchased. Are there any products or recommendations you would add to my list? I would greatly appreciate your opinions and input.

Flex 3401 VRG
Foammaster Foam Gun
Grit Guards for my dual buckets
Meguiars Detailing Clay
Assortment Lake Country pads
Menzerna Super Intensive Polish
Menzerna Super Finish
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0
Natty's Red Paste Wax
Meguiars APC+ for carpet and Engine bay
303 Fabric Guard
Poorboy's Natural Look Dressing
Cobra Waffle pattern Drying Towel
Micropak Microfiber towels

Welcome!

Wish I had a Flex. Your list looks pretty dang good so far. However, glass cleaner, wheel cleaner, and maybe a few brushes for the tight spaces could be added.

Re: New Guy Who Finally Saw the Light

Looks good! However just a few thoughts:

A lot of people really dont like meguiars clay. If you've used it, fine. I just thought Id give you the heads up. A lot of people prefer Clay magic or Sonus to Meguiars.

The APC+ will do nicely on the wheels, imo.

And a cheap glass cleaner like Stoner if you dont already have any would be nice.

Good luck!

Re: New Guy Who Finally Saw the Light

get plenty of microfiber towels (for both the paint and the dirtier tasks), you can never have enough and you will go through lots of them...

btw... !

Re: New Guy Who Finally Saw the Light

Craigdt- Thank you for the advise on the Meguirs bar. If I don't like it while im using it, i'll look into a clay magic.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. The products should be arriving on Friday. Hopefully the weather stays clear so that I can detail the car on this weekend.
