Broke Detailer
I would just like to let you know that my parents and evey cashier i've encountered this weekend think I'm totally nuts. In a nut shell in the past week i've spent a ton of mony on detailing supplies! It's all your guys fault!

My list of purchase so far:

pc 7336sp kit from lowes
Meguiar's #83 DACP
eurow wool wash mitt
2 wash buckets
gallon of nxt wash
folex spot treatment
woolite
oxy clean
EO a2z wheel cleaner
ultimate hose nozzle
odor x
pb bnb
pb nl
pb natty wax
pb ex-p
stoner's invisible glass
the 16 pack of microfibers from sam's club
the 5 pack of microfibers from microtex
1 microfiber from pb
4 bottles of QEW

That has all been purchased within the past week with the majority of the stuff this weekend. People sure do think your weird buying detailing supplies in 2 degree weather and a snow storm! I still have a ton of stuff to buy, but I'm getting there and getting broke! Thanks guys!
 
:bigups Remember, if you didn't do so already, to pick those Eurow sheepskin mitts "like fruit": selecting only the softest of the bunch

Now you're going to have some rather unusual loads of laundry when you wash your mfs ( do so before using) and also your mitts :D
 
When you stare in your cabinet at your 5-10 jars of paste wax and you cannot decide which one to use, you will then know you are a true nut and OCD sufferer.

You have been infected. :D
 
thanks guys! I just went out and added a bit to the collection. A mothers clay bar kit and tarminator. I also ordered some vanilla moose too that I forgot about! I could not find any clay magic in the 6 or so stores I visited this weekend. Has it been discontinued?

Also....I have some meguiar's 3 step deep crystal system that I had when my old truck had paint on it. I'd say it's probably 2 years old tops. Is it still safe to use or should I just pitch it? I don't know if waxes and polishes have a born on date or not?
 
Clay Magic is still around but can be hard to find at times. Wal-Mart stopped carrying it here so I have to order all of my clay online. In fact, I have to order 95% of my products online.
 
Clay Magic is made by Auto Wax Company and can be found in a well stocked car parts store or a paint and body supply shop ( as well as online).

I recall the time I found Tarminator on clearance and I bought all of them :D If you really like their stuff you can always order cases of it directly from Stoner as well.

There are a lot better systems out there than the Megs Deep Crystal. Since you're in a buying mood why not treat yourself to the true premium stuff? ;) :bigups. You can read up on the variety available here.Shelf life of waxes and solvents is generally at least a few years.

I have/am working on getting more premium stuff. I was just wondering because I know once I get out there and start cleaning a friend or relative will want theirs done and unless they are paying me I don't want to waste my good stuff on their cars. Sounds bad I know...but I have a bunch of freeloading friends and relatives! I'd rather just do a simple wash and wax job with the deep crystal stuff I have already than bust out my good stuff.

You might consider giving it to someone that can't afford the "premium" stuff.

Also, you already have quite a stock. You might want to use some of what you have before you purchase a lot more products. :dunno

Good idea on the give away.....but it's like...I feel lost without purchasing some detailing products here lately. Something comes over me and I have to hop online and purchase some ridiculously expensive wax or polish. I love it! :D

I've been watching the weather religiously for the past few weeks. If it even looks like it's going to hit 35, i'm takin' the day off work and detailing the prix.
 
I stayed inside all day today because it was 35-40º, and you will do a full detail at 35º?! LOL, I'm a wimp!
 
Way to go BigChev, that's quite a line up your building. I got some MF waffle weave s for drying and I love them . Get 2 if you have a big chevy..Aloha
