Minimalist Detailers

[Schultzestrength]

What are your go to products? I'm not going to go all crazy and using 10 different products. I am a minimalist, on time, money and patience.

Here is what I am currently using.

Meguairs Deep Crystal Wash
Meguairs Quick Detailer
303 Protectant
Invisible Glass Foam Spray
Meguairs Ultimate Liquid Wax

That's pretty much all I use. I have a bottle of Goo Gone if needed.

I would like to find a quick detailer spray that could be bought in bulk, since the big bottle that I have isn't gonna last too long.

Meguiars super degreaser and all purpose cleaner in gallons, diluted as/if needed.
Meguiars synthetic express spray wax.
Lucas slick mist
Mothers mag and aluminum polish
micro fiber, magic erasers etc.

from your list, it seems like you want a clean truck, not a scratch free truck, is that a fair assessment?

Turtle wax dash and glass for the interior. Marine 303 for the exterior.

FWIW, I have several Meguires and Zaino products on my shelf but I just find the above products I mentioned above to be easier and do a great job. I will clay bar once or twice a year also.

I use adams products. You can buy their detail spray in 1 gallon and 5 gallon jugs

Well it's new and the finish is really good, so I'm not worried about scratch repair right now. I'm just looking at some basic stuff and seeing what others use without getting into that deepwater of detailing yet.

I would suggest a random orbital, a polish, and then a sealant. Park your car out of sunlight and shine a flashlight on your paint. you might be surprised at the paint condition.

if it truly is swirl free, then seal it and call it done. I doubt it is.

Its hard to stay a minimalist when it comes to truly detailing. I would add to that list 845 collinite, HD speed, HD poxy, a orbital with pads to stay basic.
