Novice Detailer...what products does everyone recommend?

[DirtyDetailingLLC]

Hey all,

Loving this site and all I have learned so far! I am a fairly green mobile detail business owner (about 1 year), still in the trial and error stage with a lot of techniques and products.

I was wondering if I could get some good recommendations on great working products?

-Water Filtration? Do you guys run a filter on your rigs or do you purchase water?

-Spray Wax
-Interior Detailer (ie. dash, console, etc.)
-Exterior Trim dressing/restorer?
-Glass Cleaner

Also, I am currently using the Chemical Guys Foam Cannon for pre-wash soaping...is that the best thing?

Thanks in advance! Awesome site and discussions.

I really like GTechniq products.

Some musts for me. Especially if I could go back in time and pick the right products out of the gate.

Stoner Tarminator for tar, sap, and bugs.
CarPro Iron-X(follow directions to the T) for fallout.
CarPro Eraser for glass.
Meguier's D110 HyperWash for shampoo.
Microfiber Madness Incredipad for your upper panels.
Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus for wheels.
Tuf Shine Tire Cleaner and Tire Clearcoat for tires.
A bug sponge for the windshield and light lenses.
A good wheel brush.

Simple answer for your spray wax, interior detailer, exterior trim and glass: Meguiar's professional line.

Meguiar's D156 Xpress spray wax

Meguiar's D149 Quik interior detailer

Meguiar's D170 Hyper dressing, not my favorite on trim, but awesome on tires and wheel wells.

Solution Finish for restoration of trim or Carpro PERL for trim dressing.

Meguiar's D120 Glass cleaner.

And D110 hyper wash as mentioned above.

These products work very well and are very economical. I really like Meguiar's D143 non acid wheel and tire as well.

I am a fairly green mobile detail business owner

:idea:

Let me suggest that you could become a
"very green" (environmentally friendly)
mobile detail business owner, by using the
assorted detailing products provided by:
Eco Touch Premium Car Care.


As an adjunct:
This would also make for a good
Business marketing tool, IMO.
