First off I'm in Canada so I am going to be ordering my products from AG's recommended supplier
eShine Canada- Canada's Car Care Leader.
I plan on detailing a few cars on the side once I get practice on my own/families cars. I have plenty of family cars to practice on (10+ in the area, some are work vehicles that are really bad condition that I can get some good practice on oxidized/damaged paint surfaces) Which is the reason I am purchasing such a wide range of products for many applications considering I have a brand new car [white paint with metallic flakes] that just has minor swirls that need to be polished)
The main product lines that I will be purchasing from that eshine stocks are Pinnacle, Wolfgang, Optimum, and Poorboy's, they don't stock all of Pinnacle products or any DP along with some other brands here, which is why you don't see them in my list... (See eshine's brand list here:
Klasse |Wolfgang | P21S | Lake Country | Poorboy's | Meguiars | Sonus | RaggTopp | Pinnacle | ClearKote | Optimum | Stoner | 303 | Lexol | Wenol - eShine Canada Brands )
The owner of eshine told me he could special order some products from AG for me, I'll mostly just want the menzerna polishes and would like to stick with as much stuff as possible just from eshine though..
Well here is the list, it would be appreciated if anyone were to let me know if I'm missing anything or if there is a better alternative that is available on eshine!
Wash:
-PB Bug Squash
-PB SSS Wash (To compare to Meguiars Gold Class which I can get in 1 gallon for $12 locally)
-PB Wheel Cleaner
-PB All Purpose Cleaner (For engine/carpets)
-DP 4in1 (concentrated formula that I plan on diluting for a clay lubricant and QD to get bugs off the front end in between washes... good choice for this? Or will it diminish the SSII much quicker than using Crystal mist?)
-(Clay Magic Bar's from local store)
Polish:
-Menzerna Intensive Polish
-Menzerna Final Polish
-Menzerna Finishing Glaze
Protect:
-Klasse Twins (for the value detail job topped with Liquid Souveran Spray for extra shine)
-Liquid Souveran Spray
-Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax
-WG Black Diamond Tire Gel
--for the wheel protectant I heard Klasse AIO is pretty good?
-PB Natural Look Dressing (for interior vinyl/rubber/dash/that rubber stuff that seals the doors...)
-303 Aerospace Protectant (for truck beds and clean trim)
-PB Trim Restore for the trim, or should I just use 303? (If so what else should I use 303 on?) [Or should I just get both and just use 303 on good trim but PB TR and then 303 on top of that for faded trim??]
-Plexus for clear plastic and to coat the interior tinted windows
-The rest of my turtle wax tire shine for wheel wells and then probably some other local bought product for the same thing once the turtle's have gone
Glass: I haven't really found from lurking the forums what I should use on the glass? In some of the Show N' Shine threads the glass is as glossy as the paint!! That's what I'd like to achieve also. Does Klasse AIO do that? And then I'll probably use Stoner's Invisible Glass Cleaner on the interior windows (and rainx on my interior windshield once winter hits again [that stuff really does keep the moisture off the inside windshield])
Interior:
-WG Leather Cleaner
-WG Leather Conditioner
-(PB's All purpose cleaner) - is this good enough to clean ALL interior surfaces [minus windows/leather] including cloth seats??
-(PB's Natural Look Dressing) -- Or Optimum Protectant+?
Also when detailing is there anything that should be used on carpets/cloth seats after to 'repel stains' like Stoners?
Tools:
-Mega Plush Large Mitt (microfiber) for washing
-(Brushes for tires/wheel/carpet from local Canadian tire [Like Target])
-5gallon clean paint buckets (My grandpa is a painter, has plenty in his garage)
-Dehydrator Waffle Weave Drying Towel
-PC 7424 w/ LC 6.5" pads (1 yellow cutting [will I ever use this?], 2 orange cutting, 2 white polishing, 2 grey) and also a set of 3.5" pads
-10 Tornado MF tagless Buffing towels for paint work
-10 Regular MF towels for the interior/trim/glass (+1 gallon of micro-restore cleaner)
(Meguiar's foam pads and wheel dressing applicators from another local detailing store)
LOL!!! I had to say that, Nica is from Canada too.
I haven't used the Duragloss products my self but that's what I've ordered...just what Dr. Sparkie recommended hehehehe.
