So after years of hand detailing and using the Meguiars 3-Step system, I have decided to finally invest in quality products and do the job the right way. So far this is the list of products I am planning on purchasing in the next few days. Are there any products or recommendations you would add or change from my list? I would greatly appreciate your opinions and input.

Meguiars G-110
Foammaster Foam Gun
Grit Guards for my dual buckets
Meguiars Detailing Clay
Assortment of 4" and 5.5" Lake Country pads
Menzerna Super Intensive Polish
Menzerna Super Finish
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0
Natty's Blue Paste Wax
Meguiars APC+ for carpet and Engine bay
Cobra Waffle pattern Drying Towel
Cobra microfiber towels

I love the list!! Basically everything I have so far. The only thing I would change are the towels. I've heard mixed things about Cobras. Just my opinion. Your polishes and compounds are perfect. Make sure to get some orange, white, and blue pads. What kind of car do you have?

I own a 1992 Acura Integra. I had the car painted Grand Prix White a few months ago and I want to give it the great detail it deserves. What microfiber would you recommend instead josh?

the cobra microfiber towels are excellent quality, there's no need to change them... to the OP, pick up some of these to start of with... Cobra Supreme 530 Microfiber Towel 3 Pack (http://www.autogeek.net/cobra-supreme-buff-microfiber-towel-3pack.html)

Cobra's towels are on par with all the other vendors. Only problem some have experienced is linting. But I've had light linting from Pak Shak towels, no big deal in my book. On white I really like WG DGS on it's own with no topper. If this is for your white car only I would just do WG alone and just do 2 coats (12/24 hrs apart) and be done with it.

They more than just lint, otherwise I wouldn't care, but as long as you are happy with your choice of towel is all that matters. The list of products does look nice as killr said.

Killer- Isn't the super finish the same product as the nano finish? Or am I missing something in between?

Thanks everyone for all the feedback and advice.:righton:

The Super Finish is the same as the Nano.
