First big detailing order - need advice

[sadie102]

Hey Guys,



I have a three-year old silver Pathfinder that gets regular attention, but does not see much babying – it sits outside uncovered at home, goes offroading occasionally, and gets pretty dirty in Lake Tahoe during the winter. I’m not trying to turn it into a show car, I just want to keep it looking new and need some advice in that department – basically what products to get, what order to use them, and how often to use them. I’ve been pretty happy with the consumer level products, but I’m ready to take the plunge into the serious stuff.



Products I already have and use:



M’s Rich Suds Shampoo

MGC Liquid Wax

M’s Endurance Tire Gloss

TW Black Chrome

IG

cheap MFs

sheepskin WM

Costco chamois

CWB



Products I’m planning to buy:



PW+

Pinnacle Clay Bar

Pinnacle Clay Lubricant

PCW + polish (or should I just go with AIO?)

303

EO Tire Cleaner

Scratch remover (any recommendations?)

Der Wunder Towel

MF WM

PC (eventually, but not immediately)



So, what do you guys think?

Would I be better off going all Zaino or something?

Am I missing anything or wasting money anywhere?



Thanks in advance.

If you don`t plan to detail often, AIO will save you time over most other products, so I recommend sticking with it.



The Der Wunder Towel is nice, but I think the Big Blue Towel is much better.



Eagle One Scratch Remover is great for hand use. It will remove all but the worst scratches.
