Hey guys I'm a noob at using decent products to detail a car...I had to start somewhere. If theseFisher Price My First Car Detailing Kit Chemical Guys products turn out to be garbage, I'll step on up to the next better product that I find reasonably priced. Money is no object with regards acquiring my car detailing products, but considering I'm feeling my way through this, I just cannot start out jumping off the top with the products that some or all rave about.
Oh! and I'll keep the cool looking buckets as a reminder of where it all started from.

To say money is no object with regards to acquiring your car detailing products means this hobby can get out of hand very quickly because the large volume of products available. I've been slowly working my way through different types of products for 11 years now and there is still so much more to try.

Most of us probably started with some type of CG product in our early years of car detailing, but all of the regulars in this section know you'll end up upgrading. It's the natural progression of the members that post in this section.

I think that as I deplete these CG products I'll replace them one by one with products from their competition, instead of getting a throng of shh at the same time. That way I can get a chance to see any differences blow by blow.

I'm just messing around.... I too was once more fond of the Chemical Guys stuff until I realized there were many other products that I preferred. They certainly know how to market to enthusiasts, and much of their stuff is a step above the general consumer grade stuff found at Autozone.

I'm not a psycho drill Sergeant with my car detailing products, so I don't particularly expect world peace results out of these CG products I got. I'm not sure that I will be disappointed with their performance though. Nonetheless, I after get through CG, I will delve into some Adams stuff and Car Pro stuff to see how they stack up.

It's been a while since I got a new toy. Time to shop for accessories.
If you're wondering why it's inside the car, I didn't account for how tall the box was (which prevented the trunk from closing).

My friends over there @ DetailedImage hooked me up with some products. Looks like CarPro came out with a UK 3.0 version which is supposedly much easier to use in any condition, we will have to see!

My friend was using my PC and the backing plate tore a part, so I have a feeling I'm going to have to throw away most of the pads once he returns everything. I restocked on LC backing plate + pads. Also picked up some Wolfgang leather products to try since "K20trick" praises it so much.

Nice so you invested in a rupees system, should've went for their pads and backing plate as well they created the system to work well together although every rupee user I see uses a mf pad or lc pad odd... Definite the smoothest machine out today.
Yes I enjoy using the Wolfgang leather conditioner, however imo those cleaners do not seem aggressive enough to deeply clean leather in which case I just use a simple all purpose cleaner/super degreaser with various brushes then add the icing on the cake. Heres on that was just cleaned, repaired and conditioned, should've jumped for my leatherique kit I ordered over the weekend, but Ill test that on personal cars before using it on others.
Not perfect, but a lot more pleasing going in and out of the car. It was actually a lot worse than the before pic I took as I took the before pic after several test spots before proceeding with the damaged area.

I have a leatherique kit, but I ordered the wolfgang cleaner and conditioner to try for myself. That way I can recommend it to my friends who are looking for something quick and easy to use on their leather.
