Advice on '63 Corvette (dreaming)

After washing the car today I started going thru all the products and tools I have in my garage that are specifically for car detailing. I knew I had lots of stuff, many products that I wasn't using regularly, but even I was suprised at the variety and number of different products.



Even after a little purging I still have 49 products made by 16 vendors. Now some of this are multiple products, like the 5 bottles of Eagle One Wipe & Shine. Turns out that of the 49 products I have, 20 are made by Eagle One (Disclosure: Much of what I have from E1 I received as samples at No Charge).



I was suprised that I have only one Meguiar's product - #34 Final Inspection. And that's almost gone.



Product brands on my shelves:

Eagle One

Meguiars

3M

P21S

Liquitech (aka Finish First)

Sprayway

Stoners

NAPA

Blackfire

Griots Garage

Autoglym

Hi Temp

Pinnacle

Sonus

Summit Ind (Black Again & Vinylex)

Unelko (Rain X)



Everything from 2 oz. sample size to one gallon jugs.



Do any of you have a huge number of varying products, or do most of you find a couple brands and stick to them?
 
Ha! Ditto for me, and I'm afraid to add up the cost of all the stuff I will probably never again use.
 
I did a quick count of my little box of stuff that I keep here in my room (so it dont freeze) and I came up with about 30 products, Meguiars, Mothers, Eagle 1, and some others. I have 2 big bags of terry towels, and I still find piles of them laying around my room and other places :D
 
I wasnt going to post this pic, becouse I have been posting a ton of them Lately but, a pic is worth a thousand words!!

As you can see this is in my old garage...... I have cleaned house now... but most was just replace with somthing elseLOL

I won it as a door prize at a car show last summer:)

It works good on "Other peoples cars" LOL:)
 
Keep all your stuff, you need "throwdown" products. You see there are a couple kids of neighbors: ones who ask what they should buy to get their car looking great ( I spend time showing them), and ones who want to "borrow" my products. So if they want a feebie, they get Armorall, Turtlewax, and Nucar smell ! All the suff I have sitting around and don't use!
 
I don't believe that one can have too many car care products. No, perhaps you just need more cars to work on.
 
I win...

Plus some 3M stuff that's in the house still.
 
geek you need to reinforce them shelves they are bending due to the wait of all them products.



I am embarrassed at the amount of stuff I have.



4 large bins worth and a lot of it I have not even used yet.



I love keeping this economy growing!
 
Wow, you have nearly every product on the market, from consumer stuff to high-end stuff. Oh, and I see the Blackfire you guys are testing on the test.



Thats a lotta stuff!
 
Yeah, I have so many products these days that they are now taking over my dining room, laundry room and the trunk of the cars. Oh well! No job too big...!
 
Intel - I buy the stuff from the suppliers that were listed on the site. Almost every product on those shelves was mail ordered, although some I've had for quite a while...



Not pictured are: Zymol Atlantique, Destiny & Vintage; 3M product line (FI-II, IHG, SMR), some of the Meguiar's products (SMR v2, misc. older buffing products), Sonax products, various clays, and a few other goodies that I can't remember.



Believe it or not but we're narrowing down the scope of the test for the next round. We're not going to test so many waxes, but we are going to test them better.



I definitely need to get a better storage system. Before the picture, they were all sitting in cardboard boxes in my office. We've been trying certain products over the winter, so they've been getting mixed/matched; the pic forced me to organize them a little more.



And that, my friends, is what over $3K worth of products looks like...
