What are your “go to,” most used products during detailing?
I recently discovered there are thousands of products to choose from for each step in detailing from soaps to carpet cleaners. Instead of asking the dreaded “best” products, I am looking to see what you (professional or hobbiest) reach for/constantly have on hand.
I’ve been out of the detailing word for some time and was surprised by the amount of options that are available now. So I would like to know what has worked for you time and time again.
I know sometimes the condition affects your product selection for example heavily scratched exterior to heavily stained carpets. So if you mainly do paint corrections, what AIO do you reach for, or perhaps your favorite 2-step. Maybe you have a favorite leather care regime, favorite drying towel, engine bay degreaser/cleaner, etc. Looking to learn, cause things have definitely changed.
I plan on getting back into detailing and would love input seeing that I will be making a large order in the next couple weeks from the AG store for pretty much everything I would need. Looking forward to hearing from you guys and your learning from those with more experience.

subscribed - I too have been away for a few years. Surely I had and still have my favorites but I'll save my opinions and let folks chime in. This is a common ask so I'm sure there are plenty of discussions about this.

HD Speed with LC flat pads are two things I could never do without.

Why do you choose flat pads over say hydro, or waffle style?

Constant full contact, and performance.
I will admit I'm just a hobbiest, and have never worked other pads with any true consistency, but the flats work extremely well for me, and I'm a "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" kind of guy.
