Set up a holiday detailing gift pack

[Scottwax]

Just like the title suggests. You have a friend or loved one who wants to start taking care of their car. Put together a user friendly package that they could hit the ground running with minimal instruction.



My package:



Carnauba based:



Meguiars Swirl Free Polish or #9 2.0

Clearkote`s Vanilla Moose Hand Glaze

Clearkote`s Carnauba Moose or S100 Paste Wax

Eagle 20/20 Glass Cleaner

Clearkote`s Quikshine

Armor All Original Formula Protectant

Eagle One Tire Swipes

Meguiars Foam Hand Pads

6-8 Microfiber towels



Sealant based:



Meguiars Swirl Free Polish or #9 2.0

Klasse AIO or Poorboy`s Polish w/Carnauba

Poorboys EX Sealant (I picked EX instead of SG or UPP because it dries a lot faster, you can apply it to the whole car then remove immediately instead of waiting 30-60 minutes)

Eagle 20/20 Glass Cleaner

Clearkote`s Quikshine

Armor All Original Formula Protectant

Eagle One Tire Swipes

Meguiars Foam Hand Pads

6-8 Microfiber towels

Good idea Scott. I already started to put together a kit to offer as a raffle prize for our car club in the spring. It will have some of the basics in a nice gift basket. You gave me some good ideas.

How inexpensive can you make a decent kit? Every time I try to do it, I get up near $100.



Here is the cheapest kit I could recommend. It`s for a beginner. I figure, for the clueless, focus on swirl prevention.



2 packs of Viper MFs from Kmart, $5 each.

2 sheepskin wash mitts, $5 each.

2 pack of Meg`s foam applicators, $2

1/2 gal Eagle One car wash, $3



(Notice it`s already $25)



An Absorber, $10

Meg`s Cleaner Wax, $5

Stoner`s MSLT, $4

Stuff it all in a 5 gal Baja del Sol Bucket from Target, $5.



$49 is the cheapest kit I could put together in good conscience. I guess I could find an item for a buck or two less here or there, but that`s it.

Thanks for that guys! I was thinking of a kit to put together for GF`s mum. She bought a new car last month and wanted me to tell her what to buy to keep it clean.



I guess I oughta detail it for her really - extra brownie points and all that!
