And a little foam for good measure:

big one has all interior and exterior products and a few towels including waffle weave. also holds my vac n blo vacuum for interior cleaning!

also got 4 home depot buckets with lids, 1 holds all my MF towels, as well as these ULTRA soft white polishing towels from H.F (i have never felt anything so soft in my life, they are my favorite for buffing).
other 2 buckets are for body washing which hold the grit guards as well, and 4th one has baors hair brush and is exclusively for wheels.

Just waiting on a good deal for a DA buffer, scoop up anotehr 5$ bag for it!

Picked up a few items, starting to take this car care a bit more serious. Orbital buffer is next on the list.

Nice! It's always great to see someone getting into detailing.

One thing I will mention, is that microfiber is one of the most important parts of your detailing arsenal. It is not worth risking all of your hard work by using a sub par towel that may leave marring or scratches behind. Those appear to be generic AutoZone towels (or similar)? I know many people who have regretted using them on their paint... however it seems your vehicle is silver, so you may not notice the marring if there is any. Just giving you a heads up!

You would be surprised at the difference in quality when you step up to a premium microfiber towel.

If you've got any questions or would like other product recommendations, don't hesitate to ask!

Looking to put in my spring order soon, what wash mitt do you guys recommend? I've got a sheepskin one but it only seems to last me 1 year. I see Autogeek has a CarPro wool mitt that seems to have pretty good reviews and is only $23.
