Hi everyone. Man this site is so great and has information for just about eveything I never considered about detailing. I shreaked when I started reading about how to wash a car. All of those years of "bad" car washes made my head spin. The old bath and terry cloth towels....what a joke, and even worse, one bucket. Yes I have much to learn, but then everyone had to start somewhere.

My only confusion is which particular protection system to use. My daily driver is a 2008 Camry. With three weeks and 3300 miles on the odometer I guess that says I drive quite a bit. I chose the Wolfgang and Soveran 2 combination. It appears to me that as long as I purchase quality products I really can't make any real big mistakes.

Please offer advice as needed on my first order which includes:
Mega Applicator Combo Kit (http://www.autogeek.net/app100.html)
Cobra Microfiber Towel Combo (http://www.autogeek.net/mitoco.html)
Cobra Waffle Weave Microfiber Glass Towel (http://www.autogeek.net/ww1627.html) 2

Thanks for the input in advance which will help me in ordering. I know my selections won't please everyone, but remember I'm a beginner and drive a lot on my job. I also have a Colgan Car Bra to also help out with rocks and bugs which I can't use until spring when I can get my car cleaned and in shape. Oh by the way I got a cracked windshield on the second day I owned this car. Rocks, bugs and following trucks are the hazards of my job.
Feed back please

Since my first order was $736 after the 15% discount I think the addiction has only just begun. Hmmmmmmmmm, I wonder if I should have gotten the foam gun??? Oh, well, guess I had better get the basic hand washing skills up to speed first.
