mm..I'll trade all that for the 3 bottles of 3M perfect it III set up, (the full line), the 3M finesse it, and my makita high speed polisher.
also you just missed the fine brittle brush, the steam cleaner and the water pressure machine..
thats how I do it...when I have the time...

Question for you since you mention using a steam cleaner. I assume that you use it on the glass and upholstry (If you have fabric) but have you ever used the steam cleaner on the car's exterior paint? I have a steam cleaner (A Shark handheld model) and wondered if it was safe to use on the car's paint.

Holy Crap Kool, crappy tire must love you...

When I detail cars at work I use one product for glass, one for interior pieces, one to degrease, one to gloss up the rubbber, one to dissolve tar and bugs...

ohh and cherry soap to wash the cars...

keep it simple, don't need 4 million different products...pick a few really good ones and use those...

I can vouch for the stuff Bunny uses. Unbelievable!

I use:

The whole Mother's wax kit.
step 1
step 2
step 3
Back to Black (Way better than Armour All)
Clay Bar kit.

Michelin 3 step tire kit (sucks)
Scotch Guard (every month)

I use one of these full of Back-2-Black [Image: 2311.jpg]

For all the trim pieces. (This is my little secret and saves a tonne of time) It's a 1.99 at Grand and Toy.

I also have the maguires tire gel (You can't get this anymore)

Bunny also turned me on to a quick application of Simonized paste wax evrey 5th wash or so.

My car ALWAYS looks showroom.

THATS THE STUFF, I don't bother with the over the counter crappy tire s**t. Except for Autosol....where would i be without that stuff :lol:

Any Detailing Freaks Here - ANTHONYD - 07-15-2005

That Stoner stuff is junk IMHO.

As for the nicest product I've ever used was ZAINO.

Mortgage the house though.
