What should I ask for?

[Carl Anderson]

I went to dinner with my wife this evening and she asked me to give her a list of what I want for Christmas. The only thing that comes to mind is detailing supplies to feed my habit. I already have Klasse, P21S, Souveran Paste, #26, Wolfgang twins, #80,83,3,7,9. What in terms of wax or sealant should I try? Our vehicles are black, bamboo, grey, and dark green. Also, any suggestions for tire treatment, and specific microfiber for polishing and removing product. Thanks in advance.

[Wasatch]

Try some of the Adam`s Polishes, Tropi-Care Tire/Rubber Dressing, UPP, PBs EX, PBs EX-P, VM, CMW to name a few.

VM + EX-P for the RX



Maybe some Spray & Wipe for clean up between washes...the Autogeek Cobra towels work really well with it.



Get some microfibers from Excel Detail...top notch quality & great prices.



Have you tried the 1Z vinyl & rubber products or anything from Poorboys? The SSR series is awesome. Maybe get a few of the Sonus or Edge cutting, polishing & finishing pads.

Two things:



Try Zaino. The ultimate kit has a good selection of their products:

And for polishes, try the Menzerna twins - IP (Intensive Polish) and FPII (Final Polish II).



Merry Christmas,

And if you want to give her the option of a "big" item you could put a Cyclo on your list. The Winner`s Circle has a special with free shipping right now:

Hope these and the other suggestions get you started. Give her a long list with links to where they can be bought and maybe your wife will share the list so other relatives will have some ideas besides a Chia Pet ;)

[Carl Anderson]

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. John, the cyclo package looks awesome. Not that I need one but I want one.

Why haven`t you tried Zaino? I detailed a black mercedes suv last week. 3 coats of z5 and 3 coats of z2, then s100 topper, 4 star gloss enhancer, this job couldn`t be beat. Didn`t mention prep, but this finish is tops, but you can substitute topper just not sealant.
