This is my lineup of products that I plan on ordering and using. The 'amount used per car' is just made up and is probably wrong.
I also have a bunch of other products I use that I havent added, this is just what I plan on buying.

It looks like you're covering a job from wash through sealant and wax. I like your choices for both exterior and interior. All are quality products and should perform nicely!

Good Luck! :props:

Buy your M40 by the gallon and save big. Also going to echo the glass cleaner. You could save huge money by switching to Stoners Invisible glass or Sprayway glass cleaner.

All good stuff, but I just can't bring myself to pay for that glass cleaner. I use Stoners and put the savings towards other products.

$15.99 for glass cleaner,really??? I buy a gallon of concentrated Glass cleaner for $9.95 and it makes almost 10 gallons from a local detail supplier and use it on our details and in the house. I also sell it through our business a 32oz. bottle goes for $3.95 and customers love it.

I agree for the glass cleaning. Meguiars D120 can be had fairly cheap and makes 10 gallons of glass cleaner.

As far as the rest, I have not used Wolfgang or Pinnacle, but if you're trying to make money I would recommend a cheaper wax and sealant for general use, and the SSII and WGDGPS can be for your 'elite' details. And definitely get M40 by the gallon if you like it. It's great stuff!

I agree with others megs d120, get the gallon. Or you can always use IPA(rubbing alchol use 1:1 with filtered water). streak free every time.

Meguiar’s Glass Cleaner Concentrate, 1 Gallon, dilutes to make an excellent auto glass cleaner. Meguiars Concentrated Car Glass Cleaner is great for (http://www.autogeek.net/mg12001.html)

Imo if you have the money then your buying good products. If you want to spend less and really get the same results get megs ultimate compound and m205 or sratch x. m205/sratch x are both finish polishes and really do a fine job. You are spending 50bucks on polish and those bottles will probably run out after a dozen jobs, you could get UC and scratch x for just 25 bucks with the same results and will last the same amount of time.

Meguiars Mirror Glaze #105 Ultra-Cut Compound, polishing compound, ultra cut compound, paint compound, car polish (http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-105-compound-8oz.html)
Meguiars Mirror Glaze #82 Swirl Free Polish is a fine car polish that removes swirls and fine scratches using a rotary or dual action polisher. (http://www.autogeek.net/memigl82swfr.html)

You can also get collinite wax or finish kare 1000p. the collinite 845 is super easy to put on, last for months and really and truly looks just as good as that expensive wax. If you have the money to spend more then yes you will get that extra 5% better looking wax, but at the cost of durability. Really you are spending 80 dollars on wax/sealant when a bottle of 845 is just 15bucks and will last longer and look the same. Its not about the wax, its about the prep work prior to wax, ie the polish and removing the swrils.

Collinite Liquid Insulator Wax #845, liquid wax, heat-resistant wax, car wax (http://www.autogeek.net/collinite-insulator-wax-845.html)

I would also consider getting finish kare 425 or another spray on wax(do it once a month). or instead of the car shampoo get optimum no rise. ONR will change your life and save you so much time and trouble. Buy the gallon of ONR, its worth every penny. It cleans break dust, month old dirty cars, interior, leather(lightly dirty with mf towel), also clay lube.

For a tire/rubber protectant I use Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel. for 16bucks its 32oz and you can mix with water 1:1, so you get more product use. It has a nice natural mantle sheen to it. again you can save a bit of money

Optimum Opti-Bond Tire Gel, Tire gel protectant, OPT Tire Dressing Gel, protect tires, optibond tire gel (http://www.autogeek.net/optimum-opti-bond-tire-gel-32oz.html)

Most of these are products I have used with great success, and others I plan to buy on my next purchase like fk 425

Thanks for the advice everyone.

Here is my new list.

And to weavers; thanks for the advice, I've got quite a bit of rinseless car wash left, so I don't have to worry about that. I'm not sure what I like more though. And I got to do more research on waxes.
