I dont really have much, just what I need to get by, I'm a mobile detailer sometimes so all of this has to fit in a tub that will make it in my mach 1's trunk!! :wall :nixweiss so I cant really carry too much lol :chuckle:
Let me know what you guys think, I really want to move to menzerna when I run out, but I've got plenty of Optimum to go around, seal it with some EX, and then top it off with Natty's combo seems to work great on all vehicles

I am in the process of taking my supplies from the garage to in the house because of the cold weather and I thought I would snap a few shots. I just mainly use these products to detail my car because at work we have all our detail products there. Every now and then when I breakdown, after being begged, I will detail a family or friends car, I just don't have the time to be doing that often (but xtra money here and there supports the purchasing habit). Note: in background those bins are where I store the product when not in garage and my halogens.
First: some not paint detailing MF towels and terries, and my Makita.
Second:My zaino line plus other various products (and a new bottle of crystal mist to try)
Third: My menzerna, and other waxes plus APCs
Fourth: MFs for paintwork
Fifth: The best resource...my laptop with Autopia!!! Note: if you can tell my background is the V8 vantage in blue detailed by GTA in Detail

Bump, no one got anything after x-mas?

Here's my stash of detailing products as of a couple of months ago:
Tools
Makita 9227CB Rotary - probably my best purchase of the year this, an excellent rotary and a tool that has relagated my PC to glazing and waxing!
Porter Cable 7424 - used mainly for glazes and waxes now, but still capable of defect correction should the need arise.
CM8828 PTG - absolutely invaluable now the rotary is here, to keep me on the safe side of paint thickness!
Brinkmann - swirl spotting delight! Ideal for evaluating the finish as I work.
Meguiars Pads
With the rotary now here, I have found the Meguiars pads to be amongst the best I've used on the rotary, excellent control and very effective, so I got a few: 7 cutting, 10 polishing and 9 finishing.
Other Machine Pads
A few other pads as well, mainly used on the PC including Sonus DAS set, Sonus SFX 6 and 4" pads, LakeCountry cutting, light cutting, polishing and finishing pads... Also, a Menzerna 5" cutting and finishing pad which I have recetly trialled on both PC and rotary and found them to be very effective.
Washing
4 Meguiars Lambswool Mitts, really like these find them to fit nicely, and are a very safe mitt for washing I find. Also a Halfords Sheepskin Mitt which I found surprisingly good, and a Megs Microfibre mitt for wheels... Drying towels: Meguiars Water Magnets, the brilliant Pakshak Waffleweave and Sonus Der Wunder drying towels.
Microfibres
Safe towels for buffing off product residue, essential armour for the detailer! Have here 20 Costco MFs (excellent value and passed CD test no bother), 12 Megs Supreme Shines, 5 Cobras, 2 Pakshak UltraPlush, 2 Megs Ultimate Wipes.
Meguiars Products
Often overlooked in favour of more fashionable brands, but Meguiars makes up a large part of my detailing collection on the grounds that the products work very effectively and are excellent value for money:
We have:
#84 (1 gal): highly effective swirl remover by rotary
#83 (1 gal + 32oz): love this product on the rotary, effective on all paint types
#80 (2x 32oz): finsihing polish or light swilrs remover, lovely glossy finish
#3 (4x 16oz): one of the best finishing polished for machine I have used
#7 (16oz + 64oz): best pure glaze I have used so far, supberb on dark colours
#26 (16oz): compliments #7 nicely, espeically on dark solid colours and lasts well too
Shampoo Plus: loving this shampoo just now, really well lubed safe wash
#62: excellent shampoo, but preferring the SP owing to the cost
Hyper Wash: unbeaten on value for money, and a great shampoo to boot
and more besides!!
Menzerna Products
For paint defect correction, Menzerna is the range I find the best out them all, just in my own personal preference. From Power Gloss's ability to remove severe paint defects to the ultimate finishing polish that is PO85RD, the range is hard to beat IMVHO. Got a bottle or two of everything so am prepared for all eventualities using Menzerna products.
Autoglym
Again, despite some very decent products, Autoglym is very often overlooked... SRP is my favourite from AG, closely follwed by Bumper Care - both products I find very effective at doing whats required of them. Got a few other AG products I like in there too.
Pinnacle
Best known for Souveran wax, but Pinnacle makes other excellent products too... Crystal Mist and the XMT Finishing Glaze spring immediately to mind. And, of course, the Signature wax also.
Chemical Guys
Slowly building a collection of Chemical Guys products here, and each one I find to be pretty impressive... Yet to try the 50/50 wax (will do soon) but the rest have impressed me. The Diamond cut range is very good, on intial testing it proves very effective (particularly by rotary I find) at dealing with severe paint defects but also finishes down very nicely too - write-up of my thoughts on the Diamond Cut range to come along soon.
Optimum
Saw these on offer from Rich at Polished Bliss, and couldn't resist! Only done some inital playing around on scrap with them so far, and am very impressed with the products and the finish achieved particualrly from the Polish. Write-up of these to come in the not too distant future, plus I plan to use them on a BMW due to be detailed next week.
The Rest
Various other products from manufacturers where i have just bought the odd product or two (or where I have just kept the odd product or two...).
.........
and an update to this when I bought my Swissvax products:
A nice big box was delivered to me today containing nice new products for my detailing in the coming year, most of these Swissvax products which I am really looking forward to using on future details.
First of all, I must repeat my huge thanks to Dave (jac-in-a-box) for introducing me to the Swissvax range a month or so back, and giving me samples to try out... thanks to this and being delighted with the results of the products, I decided to invest in some for myself:
Best of Show Entry Collection
A nice collection of products to get me started here. The all important Cleaner Fluid for before the wax. Pneu for tyres and other exterior rubber and plastics. Car Bath shampoo. Wax and Cleaner Fluid Applicator pads. Two terry cloths that feel nice and soft (though the only thing I've used terry cloths in the past for is removing #7 residue as I find them better than microfibres for this). And a very soft and fine feeling polishing cloth... And of course, the Best of Show wax and my first immediate impression of this is just how damn good it smells!!! :lol: Pineapple! :thumb:
Swissvax Onyx Wax
The entry level Swissvax wax, I wanted this also to try out and aim to use this on hopefully a good few details throughout the year. Smells of watermellon, very nice - but not as nice smelling as Best of Show! :lol:
Swissvax Wheel Kit
Will be looking to try this kit out on my own wheels in the spring when I take my wheels off for major cleaning. Contains Wheel cleaner that smells of peppermint (concentrate that dilutes 4:1 in the mixing bottle), gloves, two brushes and a polishing cloth.
Swissvax Autobahn Wheel Wax
A very cute dinky jar of this, and another product I am itching to get applied to my own car to test out. :thumb: Smells of chocolate.
And also, a few other products as well:
Victoria Concours Wax
I'd never heard of Victoria wax until about a month ago...
But I'm always keen to try out new products (well, new to me! :lol: ) so I will be giving this a run out in the near future.
Carlack68 Scratch Remover & Polishig Paste
Looking to try these out by hand on my test panel soon to see how they do at removing swilrs by hand.
Menzerna
Hardly new to me, I've been using Menzerna for some time now and as I can always rely on them to deliver me the results I'm looking for, be that on the rotary or PC, I've topped up my supply with 1 litre of each: S34A Power Gloss, PO85RD3.01 Intensive Polish, PO106FF Final Finish and PO85RD Final Finish.

Nice collections guys!!
David: The Carlack68 Scratch Remover & Polishing Paste will do a pretty good job by hand. As mentioned before i own/have owned some cars with strange shapes and areas that really require hand polishing in the extremly detailed areas. I got mine from germany with the Carlack windscreen kit. Very good and just as cheap as the UK at the time.
The real problem you will find is that people will knock the finish as its not as refined as when i am using DA with a wide range of polishes. Certantly on top notch paintwork on a colour it stands out on like House of Color Candy Apple Red on my old Morgan 4/4. Im sure for 90% of one off users on forums these two products and some time will answer alot of swirl mark problems.
They will get knocked by people who dont think there good enough. Time is a factor if you were doing a whole car, but then again theres never any real need to complete a whole car in one go if your net getting paid for it!!
