Please critique my detailing shopping list
Hello,
I'm about to spend some money at the AG store and was hoping you guys can let me know if there was anything else needed on my list. I am going to start out on my own car and I like to use the best bang for my buck products. I'm also partial with sticking to a couple companies only. Finally, I'm a big fan of the minimalist approach (I don't like to spend money unless necessary).
Here's my list:
