I think thats it:hide:
 
Alright, since no one else has asked this, I will. What kind of paint thickness gage is that? Some sort of non-contact one? I've never seen or heard of one like that before, looks like an IR thermometer, except it does look like it's got some sort of calibration discs and foils.
 
I don't normally care for product collecting and never admitted since i would look jealous...BUT



You really show class by the way you organize your stuffs and categorizing it ... I've seen an article at DI about arranging MF towels but I like your arrangement as well..Difference is the guy at DI uses plastic drawers you use bunk-containers...



Wish to have a collection like that sometimes... *jealous mode on*



That's about 1-2 grands in those two drawers...fridge and PTG not included....
 
Hmmm I wonder if actually detailing the car even matter to you? Lots of product pictures but not one of the cars you use it on. You seem to be into making the manufacturers rich. I don't know how old you are but I hope you out grow the product collecting stage.

Is there a written rule somewhere that says that he has to post all the vehicles that he works on? No. Secondly, is it your money that he's spending? If not, then don't worry about it. Lastly, who says that he has to buy one line of products? I've come to learn that many companies make some great products, but not all products great. Not too many people stick with one product line, and if they do, I'm sure that even they must use other products from time to time to get the job done.



Edit: BTW, you have a nice a nice collection and your organization skills are awesome!!

Well one thing for sure chost seem to be on the same page as you , he doesn't have optimum products which is surprising to me.. A collector would want to include ONR in his collection.. Unless he believes ONR wash is bad and would marr the paint..Don't be too critical on potentially the only ally of yours ;)





PS: Care to give me links to your details ?

Why you running your mouth about using one product line. I don't remember ever saying that you should use one product line or any specific number of product lines.



No it's not my money he is spending and I never said it was. Yes it's his right to spend as much as he wants and make the manufacturers as rich as he wants. It's not his rights I'm questioning it's why would he want to. There is no need for that stash of products. There is a lot of redundancy in there. I'm speaking from experience because I once was like that to. I grew out of that nonsense though.

How is not having Optimum products put him on the same page as me? I have nothing against Optimum products. I have never used them because they don't offer anything that makes feel I need to switch from what I'm using.



As for allies I couldn't care less who agrees with me or not. I know what works and doesn't and it doesn't matter if any one agrees with me or not the things that work for me keep on working.



You want links to my details? I haven't posted any pics of anything I detail which is mainly my vehicles any ways so there is nothing to link to. The major reason for that is because pics of details are an absolute joke and people who think they can tell anything from them are bigger jokes. I could post a pic of a swirled to crap car and it would look great in the pic so what doe that prove. The pics posted on here are more about the persons photography skills than they are about the person's detailing ability.



I just think the whole concept of collecting products is absurd. They are tools to get a job done. I see nothing in them that is collectable. The thread starter could probably dump 95% of the products he has and not miss them if all he was concerned about was using them as detailing tools. It's very clear from the pics that they are much more than that to him.

Dude, what is your problem? Maybe you grew out of that nonsense because you bought enough redundant products to learn that they were redundant? It's generally very hard to learn from other people's mistakes, you have to make your own. Besides, to each his own, if the OP likes to collect detail products, so what? Some people collect coins, stamps, knives, guns, mugs, keychains. Some people buy new clothes all the time, others wear them until they are worn out. Try to have some tolerance, or switch to half-decaf, man.

Well there are enough veterans of detailing products on here that they should be discouraging the practice of collecting products. I don't know how you can't get annoyed at the countless "what is the best product" threads or the absolutely moronic threads where the guy applies 5 different LSP and thinks that there will actually be a noticeable difference if he changes the order and than someone asks for pics believing they will be able to actually see a difference in a pic. I don't see guys like you setting them straight. You let them go on thinking there is some validity to what their doing and you know as well as me it's total nonsense.



I don't drink coffey period.

From time to time I will point out to newbs who seem bent on trying the "flavor of the month" that I have enough products on my shelves to last me the rest of my life, but it doesn't really do any good. These people have their own lives and have to learn their own lessons...if they ask for the advice about buying multiple products then they are ready to hear the advice...but the people you are describing are going to try all the flavors no matter what you or I say. Sounds like you don't have any kids or girlfriends...ever try to explain to the wife/gf why she doesn't really need that new purse or pair of shoes when she already has a closet full? Or why your kid doesn't need that toy or vid game when he's already got a pile?



You made your point, badgering everybody about it doesn't further your argument. This is a site of primarily hobbyists and extreme detailers, who are trying to explore the nuance of detailing, not a car wash site looking for the simplest product lineup.



I could twist your argument a bit and suggest that everybody should just eat the same meal 3 times a day, after all, it's just food, it's simply a tool, a way to provide needed calories to your body, and nobody should be fooled into buying all kinds of different foods, and going to restaurants, because it all does the same thing, and is therefore all the same, and anybody who does anything different is just lining the pockets of the farmers etc. who manipulate us with all their advertising into trying different foods instead of just eating the same thing day in and day out. I mean, once you have eaten enough food, you know what the right food is for you, and what you like, so you should just eat that for the rest of your life, right?
 
chost,

Nice collection. Like most the other folks on this thread I envy your ability to organize. Looks great.

Cliff notes: Pictures are a joke and prove nothing, but if detailing matters to you, you will post them.
