Money2536's Currently Used Detailing Products
After posting my video on YouTube, I've ordered a bunch of new stuff to try after getting a bunch of suggestions. I thought you guys might care to see this one. Sorry for being so dry and boring.

Hey have you tried Zaino products? Sorry if you mention in your video; don't have time to watch it yet, but meant to mention it to you the other day. They have great border free towels: http://www.zainostore.com/product/Z-BBFT-3.html

Have you heard anything or had any experience with Polishangel Glasscoat? Seems it's a boutique German company that makes a sealant as durable (or more so) than Opticoat and with a gloss similar to cQuartz Finest. They also require a paint code so they send you their product matched to the cars paint color.

Money, your the man!! I just started getting into detailing (for personal use), and this was definitely a great help. I enjoyed watching the whole video, (damn Villanova busted my bracket). I haven't got into the polishing process yet, mostly because I haven't done it before and I'm afraid to ruin something. Any advice on a polisher or techniques to use? By the way, have you tried the Microfiber madness towels? They're expensive but definitely the best MF I have seen.

I do have some Microfiber Madness towels. I'm still unsure about them. I just got them two weeks ago, so I'm still forming my opinion. |

Yea I hate it too but I have my F80 delivery on the 20th and I'll have her home on the 22nd so I really want to give her a nice detail inside and out. Would love to see how you do the inside before then as I will be using some of your techniques on the outside

I still really like these. I may end up going back to them. http://www.detailersdomain.com/10-Pa...x16_p_846.html I'm going to do a video this weekend. I'm hoping we can all share ideas in the comments, so I can come up with an update arsenal of towels. Every few years, I feel the need to revamp my towels. |

I bought madness incredimitt, cloudbuster, crazy pile, and dry me crazy. incredimitt - I like this mitt, although I'm only on my second mitt ever. cloudbuster - I really like this towel it works well and leaves no streaks or lint crazy pile - I liked it, but the fabric feels weird to me dry my crazy - wasn't happy with these at all, esp for $13 it would take me 3 or 4 of these to dry my whole car Question for you Matt. What do you recommend for a hand wax (not a spray on)My car is AW. I know you like Griot's garage spray on but it makes me feel better if I apply it and then take it off. |

In the end, each manufacturer has one or two products that really works. It is about finding the best thing each of them have to offer.

See you're in Seattle! I grew up in Puyallup (no jokes, please). Have you been to the Griot HQ in Tacoma? Haven't been myself, but supposed to be legit there.

Yes, been there many times. It is a cool place and they got some nice products but their interior cleaner is pretty much the only thing I like. They do host some amazing car shows though.
