Before I buy...

[TRADICLES]

New to the forum, lots of great info! Been reading up on what to buy but I still have some questions. This is for my new titanium silver BMW M3 by the way.



Stuff I have:



Eagle one wet shampoo from DAP

Mit - not sure if it's 100%cotton, but I got it from DAP. It seems to leave some lint behind.

Mequires quick detailing spray (should I use final inspection instead?)



Need to buy:



Bug remover - type?

Zaino glass polish?

3M Imperial hand glaze

Klasse AIO and SG

Blitz wax

Some sort of foam applicator pads?

Miracle towels



Do I need some sort of glass cleaner also? Or just something like the Zaino glass polish? Why not windex? Use miracle towels for glass?



Do I really need foam applicator pads, or just use miracle towels for everything?



Do you use hand glaze everywhere before AIO, or is it a touch up thing? Is it really necessary after a good wash on a new car?



Can I buy all this stuff online at one place?



Thanks!

jc76,



Welcome to town!



You will find a lot of your product answers in the Product Review forum. Also, use the search function on each of the products you've listed. You'll be amazed at how much discussion you find.



Regarding the applicator pads vs. microfiber towels... yes, use foam applicators and save you microfiber towels for buffing and wiping.



It is not necessary to use IHG before AIO. I do because I like the fine polish it provides. Most people think it is a waste of time.

I wasn't aware that IHG had abrasives, but am not <em class='bbc'>too[/i] surprised. What can you compare its abrasiveness to? I know none of the glaze will be left behind, so I am curious about what you compare IHG to. Don't you also use PPCL as your preferred paint prep? PPCL - IHG -> AIO?
