    Not new to taking care of cars, but haven`t been doing it myself for a while. How to get back in - what to buy?

    OK so i have the basics of the two bucket car wash system down. i just got a new car and am dedicated again to taking better care of my car. especially in the summer.

    what do i need to get started? key note - my water pressure sucks so a standard hose and nozzle might not cut it. what are the basic products and tools i need to take care of my car in my driveway, before getting to waxing and claying.

    If you call autopia/autogeek and tell them what you want to accomplish, they will guide you correctly

    Welcome to the forum. Great advice from Ronkh and PA Detailer. It will be quite a journey, as I`m sure you already expect.

    don`t get in a hurry-- esp buying products

    BUT

    Aren`t they having a sale now with free shipping / no minimum??
