Congratulations....it would appear that you have all the bases covered and then some.

Now the bad news...this is just your first order. If you have caught the "Detailing" bug the same as I did there will be more orders in your future.;):cheers:

Oh Gawd dont tell me that....this one is bad enough!

And its only for my own vehicles!

Now I need to read up some more and learn the proper usage an sequence of my product selection.

:rofl:bow:bow:surrender

It`s great that you have all those supplies, but they weren`t necessary to be able to do a good job taking care of your vehicles.

You really needed:
A polish strong enough to do some paint correction.
A polish mild enough to leave a finish ready for a wax/sealant. It`s possible to do both processes with the same product if the paint is not in real bad shape.
A wax/sealant for your LSP.
Two, possibly three products to do a pretty decent job.

The machine polishing is much easier and I wouldn`t want to go back to doing it all by hand, but I did do it all by hand for a lot of years.

Having a budget that allows you to have all those things is great, but someone that doesn`t have that type of disposable income can still take good care of their vehicles. They shouldn`t get turned away from the hobby because they think they can`t afford it.

My apologies to the sponsors. I love having all the choices, but very few of them are really necessary. :D
