Rainy Day, NEw Detailing Supplies, and my Small Product Collection

[ZCarGuy]

Well, today was a rainy day in Upstate NY. I decided to organize my detailing supplies. I also realized I need alot more stuff becuase this hobby and obsession can be very expensive. I shot some photos of my, well my parents, garage and cars, new Vroom products from Target, and my small product selection. Enjoy!



Pic of the garage and cars.. My 91 Nissan 300ZX, my dad's 96 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, and my mom's 04 Liberty. We are getting our basement finished to there is a bunch of stuff in there:

Couple of pics of the Vroom MF's I picked up at Target:

Finally, my pathetic product collection. I feel embarassed after seeing all of yours:

Not a bad start for your collection. Just keep on expanding when you can afford it... hehe.

I'll have to check out some of the Vroom stuff. Do they have sheepskin mits also?

 

[imported_Denzil]

I think they do Mongoose. I think Target just recently added this product line because I have always been searching for detailing supplies there since Target is only a mile away from me. :up

Nice tidy garage and set up you have !!!

 

[imported_mrecktid]

How much was that 12-pack of MF's?

 

[Intercooled]

Its not the Size of your collection its how well you use what you have.

 

[imported_Denzil]

Please let us know how those products by Vroom work out for you!

 

[imported_guapsnaman]

Can you take more pics of your Z PLEASE!!



Nissan Z's = :bow :bow :bow :bow :bow



BTW, I've also been building up my product list. For the past month or so, I've been buying 2 or 3 items a week. I try to justify my impulse buying because these products are on 'sale.'

 

[ZCarGuy]

The 12-pack of MF's were like 7.99 or 8.99, IIRC. I am going back to college tomorrow but will let you know how they work out when I get back home for the summer in a couple weeks. You can also expect some more pics of the Z when I get the Pinnacle PolyClay kit, Menzerna FPII, and Pinnacle Souveran.



Thanks,

Welcome to Autopia from one Z lover to another....:xyxthumbs

Did I spot a CDT Audio box? That's the best thing in there! haha

Great taste on those btw. What model do you have?

 

[ZCarGuy]

I have the Ef-61's in my Z. The 6.5" component set sounds awesome for the money. I think I paid around $150 from a vendor on Sounddomain.com They are run by an Alpine MRV-T420 which puts out about 150 watts a side, around 300 total. Sounds great!



Thanks Pats300ZX, I recognize your name from TwinTurbo.net

Rayn:

Where did you find that black plastic "tote" with the handle? I am looking for one that is nice and deep like that one on the shelf in your pic...

 

[ZCarGuy]

I got it from Taget, for $2.99!!! I pciked it up as soon as I saw it. They also have a bucket made by Rubbermaid with large wheels and a handle to drag it. It also comes with a grit guard. It is definatly something I am going to have to pick up next time I am there.

[wannafbody]

you don't need a large collection-be selective- a few good polishes and LSP's

 

[Mad iX]

Your collection may be small, but you've got all the important stuff that you might need. Some of us just have to get our hands on everything and try them out.

The one thing you should really consider getting next is a PC.

I ALMOST had some of the vroom stuff picked up today, but I couldn't go through with it. I was going to go for the deal on the MF drying towels where it scans as $0.00 "12 pak flannel" but I didn't feel right about potentially tricking them.

 

[ZCarGuy]

I do have a PC. It is on the top most shelf in a clear container, which I forgot to take a picture of. Speaking of the PC, I need to get a set of pads from Excel detail.

Uhhh..Your cars are in the rain! :sosad



Nice garage! :xyxthumbs



I like the '90s 300ZX a lot better than the current 350Z.
