Hey all,
Looking to get some products for my fiat 500. It's espresso brown. I have this in my cart..
19091
Any suggestions? The car is brand new. I have limited space and time to detail as I live in a condo community that has only one dedicated wash area. Also, I'll be doing it by hand only.

Wheel cleaner and wheel brushes. Definitely more microfiber if doing a no rinse.

What kind of condition is the car in?
Have you looked a Poorboys polish and seal? Might be a bit easier to work with than Klasse AIO.
What about drying towels?
Foam applicator pads?
Whats your wash media for ONR?
Just a couple of thoughts there for you to help you out.

Sorry forgot to mention a few things. First, I'm on a limited budget so trying to keep this around $100. The car is brand new, 250 miles on it!
I already have a few Microfiber towels that I planned on using to wash and dry.
Also the dealership just clawed my car to remove tree sap, so i was going to hold off on that.
Finally, the collinite comes with some applicator pads. I figured those were good.

I'm sure you meant "clayed", but with a dealership, you really never can tell... :)

I got the coupon for signing up plus it looks like this will be a big enough purchase to get free shipping. I'm in FL. Should. I get other applicators other t'ha. The two free lake country reds that cone with the collinite?

You're gonna need more than 8oz of ONR. That'll last you maybe 4 washes.

I placed my order yesterday. I ended up getting the collinite, poorboys, 32oz of ONR, some aquapel, a grit guard, and the Microfiber kit, which came with a ton of different towels, a cup and a cool bag to keep all the stuff in. I had the 20% off for new members, and since I'm from FL I got free shipping. Great deal! One thing I should have gotten was more applicators. Do you think I coukd pick up a few decent ones locally, like at auto zone? I realized I probably need more than 2
