Ok here is my list of stuff that I use. Sorry I went ADD and fully paint corrected two cars today.
Washing:
2 Home Depot buckets
1 chemical guys strainer
1 chemical guys blue wash fit
1 amazon micro fiber wash mit on an extended poll. Also works great for drying the top.
2/ Meguires drying towls tan color. I use one to knock the bulk of the water off and the second one as my finisher. It helps keep detailing at the end to a minimal.
1/ Chemical guys foam cannon
1/ Harbor Freight Portland electric pressure washer. Optional The Chemical guys foam cannon is pretty good just on a hose.
Chemical guys extreme body wash and wax, but Mr Pink is very cost effective and great as well.
Detailing Exterior:
Chemical guys speed detailer. By far the best thing I have ever used. "can buy in bulk"
Waxes:
Good all around wax Chemical guys butter wax
Good in between waxes Chemical Guys Banana spray wax
Swirl and scratch remover Adams works fairly good. It did better today on my wifes Pacifica. I really had to work it on the Ram.
Clay bar kits Chemical guys did an amazing job.
Polish I personally like Chemical guys #38 but they have several different ones depending on how bad faded your paint is.
Ceramic coating Adams by far. I would not suggest any other one personally. For the price and the reviews I watched its great. Plus I saw the results I wanted.
Interior:
Leather I use Chemical guys sprayable leather and conditioner. My wifes Pacifica has had nothing but that since day one, and almost 3 years later no wear and the leather is still very rich looking. "can buy in bulk"
Clear plastic cleaner I use Chemical guys total interior cleaner. It also helps with dust.
As far as plastics dash door panels. This one is up to you. I personally like shiny stuff like really shiny. So I use Hyper high gloss protectant, but both Adams and Chemical guys offer different ones to suit your tastes. "can buy in bulk"
Carpet and cloth cleanerChemical guys lightning fast diluted and a meguires scrub brush. Or some good old tough stuff with a scrub brush.
Wheels and Tires:
I use Chemical guys speed detailer on our painted rims.
Chrome polish and I will go old school here, but its still one of the best. Turtle wax chrome polish and rust remover.
Tires shine I like Chemical guys tire kicker. Once again I like shiny. There is lots of other options through Chemical guys and Adams. Its just whatever suits your fancy. "tire kicker can be bought in bulk"
Engine cleaner and shine:
Personally I like gunk.
black plastics I use Chemical guys VRP under the hood
Black trim restorer:
Chemical Guys Tire and Trim Gel or Black on Black
Odor Eliminator:
Chemical Guys has tons:
I use Watermelon and it smells really good.
Vacuum:
I have a shop vac and I use my wifes dyson lol.
Microfiber towls:
I have both Adams and Chemical Guys
Interior and Exterior trim applicators:
Blue Amazon or Yellow Chemical Guys when they are on sale.
Tire shine applicator:
Chemical guys
Wax Applicator by hand:
I like Adams.
If you want a good buffer:
Really don't skimp, but I got a Chemical Guys TORQx on sale. Adams also sells one and I am sure the Dewalt one is good as well.
I think that's everything. I am sure I am missing something. These are just suggestions, but that is what is personally in my garage. I didn't just go drop a ton of money. I bought a little bit here and there. Really Amazon is the best prices on all of it. Plus Prime shipping. Just a couple of pics I took. In two days I fully paint corrected the Ram and the Wifes Pacifica. Clay bar, scratch remover, polish, and then Ceramic coating. The Charger is a garage queen. She had two small scratches on the mirrors. I fixed that, polished it, and ceramic coated it.
