Nice stuff! I think the 44k stuff is what the dealer uses during big service intervals

I'd do mine but just started packing it up for the winter. I keep 'em on a rack in the garage in the winter, then bring them all inside down into the basement in totes before the freezing starts (garage isn't heated).

Mine isn't heated unless I turn the propane heater on or leave the door open.

But it is heavily insulated (including the doors) so as long as I don't keep the doors open during the winter it stays above freezing 99% of the time.

Wow, now that's the biggest detailing inventory I've seen around here! How long has it taken you to accumulate your supplies, Rexx?

Here's a relatively old pic of mine. It's not much but it's a start (and no, I don't store them on the coffee table)

Uh, yeah... but this is for maintenance stuff too so I figured it would go best in a more 'generic' forum. Plus it's just pics for fun, wasn't intending to discuss if any of the stuff was good.

I used to detail on the side to earn money when I was in highschool... that ended pretty quick and I got burnt out on detailing, but not too long after I got back into it but only for personal use. I pretty much just buy whatever I hear good things about. If I like it I stop buying whatever else I had that it replaced and if I don't I use it up or give it to a friend and move on. But I've probably had a detailing cache at least 75% as thorough and sizable since I was 19-20 or so (I'm 23 now)

You've got some good products there .....I've used some of them myself.

One product I HIGHLY recommend.....You guys have heard me say it before ....is SCRATCH-OUT. That stuff is amazing for almost anything that is not too deep..
