After washing the car today I started going thru all the products and tools I have in my garage that are specifically for car detailing. I knew I had lots of stuff, many products that I wasn`t using regularly, but even I was suprised at the variety and number of different products.



Even after a little purging I still have 49 products made by 16 vendors. Now some of this are multiple products, like the 5 bottles of Eagle One Wipe & Shine. Turns out that of the 49 products I have, 20 are made by Eagle One (Disclosure: Much of what I have from E1 I received as samples at No Charge).



I was suprised that I have only one Meguiar`s product - #34 Final Inspection. And that`s almost gone.



Product brands on my shelves:

Eagle One

Meguiars

3M

P21S

Liquitech (aka Finish First)

Sprayway

Stoners

NAPA

Blackfire

Griots Garage

Autoglym

Hi Temp

Pinnacle

Sonus

Summit Ind (Black Again & Vinylex)

Unelko (Rain X)



Everything from 2 oz. sample size to one gallon jugs.



Do any of you have a huge number of varying products, or do most of you find a couple brands and stick to them?

Ha! Ditto for me, and I`m afraid to add up the cost of all the stuff I will probably never again use.

I did a quick count of my little box of stuff that I keep here in my room (so it dont freeze) and I came up with about 30 products, Meguiars, Mothers, Eagle 1, and some others. I have 2 big bags of terry towels, and I still find piles of them laying around my room and other places :D

Keep all your stuff, you need "throwdown" products. You see there are a couple kids of neighbors: ones who ask what they should buy to get their car looking great ( I spend time showing them), and ones who want to "borrow" my products. So if they want a feebie, they get Armorall, Turtlewax, and Nucar smell ! All the suff I have sitting around and don`t use!

I don`t believe that one can have too many car care products. No, perhaps you just need more cars to work on.

I don`t seem to ever use up products. I think the only thing I actually use up are QD sprays. Maybe because I use them so much. Stupid Birds :D

geek you need to reinforce them shelves they are bending due to the wait of all them products.



I am embarrassed at the amount of stuff I have.



4 large bins worth and a lot of it I have not even used yet.



I love keeping this economy growing!
