    I can`t decide, maybe a new rotary or more polishes.

    I would like to try Midnight Sun and or Wet Diamond, but I already have enough waxes and sealants.

    hey

    You could always go with some Menzerna products. BF Gloss enhancing polish. I really like the look of the BF Interior Protectant. EZ Detail brush. Applicators.

    Off the top of my head

    1Z Rubber and Plastic Protectant
    : Like 303 on steroids, great UV protection, streak free, dark shine with out too much sheen.

    1Z Cockpit Premium: A quick detailer for your cockpit!

    M105 Ultra Cut Compound: Probably the most versitile compound out there

    M205 Ultra Finishing Polish: Great finishing polish/ meduim polish with a Dual Action Polisher

    Blackfire Midnight Sun Carnauba Wax, batch #24: Batch #24 is really the best Blackfire yet, great depth.

    Eimann Fabrik Tire Cleaner: Works great, easy to use.

    Eimann Fabrik Clear Vision II: Recently replaced Meguiars NXT as my window cleaner of choice.

    Menzerna 7.5 Wheel and Tire Gel: pH neatural wheel cleanser

    All good recommendations, got all the Menzerna, 1z, and Megs stuff covered. Might just have to go with midnight sun, or the sealant.

    Every time I walk in there I beat myself up to splurge an buy the wet ice over fire kit. I haven`t yet, but I`m sure I will buckle soon.

    They now carry almost the complete Meguiars Consumer, Detailer, and Mirror Glaze lineups so I`d say nearly all of them are a "must have."

    Looking at the chemical end of our business, any of the Blackfire products are worth trying, if you are looking at mid-priced products that offer a great value, check out the einszett line of products. They are still a hidden gem in this price category. Meguiars or the Mothers "Reflections" lines are still some of the best values for the price.
    Tom have you looked at our NEW boars hair brushes? One of our vendors showed them to us at SEMA. These Blonde Boars Hair Brushes are the finest we have ever seen. The 7" version, when used on a pole to clean large areas spreads out beautifully when you apply a little pressure. The Blonde Hair is the softest available and will not go limp after you use them a few times.
    We have also added a couple of the MyTee line of extractors if you are looking for that really big present for yourself. You can check them out here: http://www.properautocare.com/newcarcapr.html

    Can`t argue with those choices.

    I already have the 1Z cockpit premium, M105/205 and am very pleased with the use of each, but am going to order the following:


    1Z Rubber and Plastic Protectant
    : Like 303 on steroids, great UV protection, streak free, dark shine with out too much sheen.

    1Z einszett Plastic Vinyl Deep Cleaner "Plastik-Reiniger" I always wanted a way to deep clean those interiors that needed more then 1Z CP.

    I`m also interested in the Amazing Roll Off Angelo was telling me great things about how well it cleans tires.

    ARO is a great APC, leaves a little protection behind also.

    The gold foam is the softest foam that Lake Country produces.
