Picked up a can of Stoners, 8 pack of Microfibers, Sheep Skin Mit, Turtle Wax Spot/Stain Cleaner and a small/cheap 12v Vac.

Looking for the best Wash now, anyone tried P21S - http://www.autogeek.net/p2bodconsham.html ??

I just used my Stoner Invisible Glass w/ Microfiber for the first time.. and WOW. No streaks AT ALL.. and I wasn't even completely in the shade. I did the inside and out, and when I went to close my doors, I thought I had left one of the windows down it was so clear.. This stuff is hands down, the best glass cleaner I've personally ever used. No more streaks!!!

I haven't used the tire stuff but the Gold Class wash is very good. Your wash mitt will just glide over the surface and lots of suds.

I noticed that, I'm so used to using cheaper stuff that makes it feel like you have to work to get it to glide along the surface.. while this stuff made me think, "Is it washing it?" because it seemed to be sliding along so smoothly lol.

The tire stuff smells really nice also, reminds me of grape kool-aid so I kept sniffing it as I put it on..

I picked up an interior scrubbing brush, a small detailing brush for dash vents and such.. and a spray nozzle today. Slowly building up a few things to make washing my car a little simpler + a better job. Planning on ordering my WetPaint and 303 this week.

Is this the wheel cleaner you use?:
http://www.autogeek.net/pbsrwc32.html If so, any review on it?

Keep the suggestions coming!

I am going to dig up this thread.....being a huge detailing fan I figured I would nose in my input.

I have about 100 million car products out in the garage, I look like a store, so I will list some of my favorite. I am not a pro so I stick mostly with the consumer stuff.

Most often used:

Stoner Invisible Glass--best glass cleaner I have used, use a microfiber towel or I have had real good luck with newspaper
Stoner More Shine Less Time--The engine shining miracle (thanks RTexasF)
Simple Green--The do it all cleaner for everything except windows
Wet Paint Glaze--personally I love it on my wheels, that factory aluminum was a pain to keep good looking before
Meguiars Paint Cleaner and Polish--I use these a lot before waxing
Meguiars Gold Class Liquid Wax--my favorite for a clean car
Meguiars PlastX--No car is complete without nice shiny headlights/taillights
Meguiars #40 Vinyl/Rubber Cleaner Conditioner--my favorite interior detail, doesn't leave that overshiny look
Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash--good stuff
