New dude from SoCal

wussup guys, i just joined the forum. Im a bimmerhead ( 1990 bmw 5 series E34 ) from L.A. looking for some good advice and tips from the pros around here.

to start things of, i am going to need some help from you guys..
i`ve been an avid fan of clean and shiny cars.. i came from weekly washes.. to waxing.. to claying and now i`d like to get into using a PC and higher end products..

so my question is..

can anyone lead me to the right direction.. i am planning to spend about $350 to start me off.. what do u guys suggest i purchase from this site..

im thinking.. wash / polish / wax / PC / wheels and tires / interior / foam gun (cause it just looks so cool) =) / and misc. microfiber towels... is this achievable for my price range and still have a good line-up? what do u use? and what would u suggest i get otherwise..

thanks guys i am lookin forward on being an active member of this forum.

Welcome, dude!
You can learn a lot from the forum and from detailing tips - Auto Detailing Facts and Tips: How-to Guides from the Car Care Experts at AutoGeek - how to polish, how to wax, how to clean

Polisher I'd recommend you would be UDM - Ultimate Detailing Machine Intro Kit with FREE BONUS!

Throw in some Menzerna PO106FF (a must for any true detailer/pro), and SIP (optional for heavier swirls). Other Nice Polishes are Pinnacle XMT series.
Best tire products would be DP tire gel, and DP wheel cleaner.
For interior I prefer Poorboy's Natural Look.
You might be closer to $400 range, but you will love the results!
Good luck.

Sorry to say but you will quickly become addicted! Unless you have a great deal of self control don't set a budget. You would only be setting yourself up for disappointment.
