There is always some home product, or product you made into a tool to help with detailing. What could you not live without most ??? See list for 10 items , pick one. Considering offering ALL ways it could benefit a detailer.

While I agree, that is much to easy. See the poll for 10 different items that can and should be used in detailing. Which do you feel you need the most and yet most others forget or give it little respect.

In a week I will break down each use, provided they have not been described here prior. Please remember pick one and consider offering advice on how you use it.

Well, I picked q-tips because that's the one tool I keep saying I need to get a bag of but just don't get around to it. I've used a toothbrush for cleaning my rims when they were first cleaned (and really dirty.) I figured the toothbrush was gentle enough for the enamel on my teeth, it should be OK on the clearcoat on the rims.

Can you explain what the jelly and nail polish are for?

paint brush-----boars hair or fine bristle paint brush, cut the bristles down until they're about 1/4 or 1/3 the full length. Great for getting polish or wax out of the cracks or that has built up around name badges(Ford, Chevy, Corvette, Mustang, etc.) or simply out of nooks and crannies. Just brush it out!

Would these be the same high end paint brushes (like Purdy's) you can get from Home Depot. The black China bristle brushes are the high end ones.

Do you think a body brush like Meg's "white bristle" body brush would be OK to use solely for getting dried polish out of paint chips and fine scratches?
