After some thought I decided to fork it out for some higher end products.
What is the best way to spend $100 on detail products?

$10 - griots garage wheel cleaner http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_1000&L2=L2_1002&SKU=11106
you could also just use a diluted generic degreaser for this... it would be less than $10 and last alot longer

$16 - poorboys ss&s carwash http://www.autogeek.net/pbss32.html
you could go to autozone and pick up meguiars gold class car wash for ~$8

$13 - schmitt http://www.autogeek.net/shmitt.html

$10 - griots garage quick detailer http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_1000&L2=L2_1004&SKU=11146
autozone should carry maguiars quick detailer for ~$8

$20 - griots garage paint cleaning clay http://www.griotsgarage.com/catalog.jsp?L1=L1_1000&L2=L2_1004&SKU=11153
ive tried a few other clays and this is the only one i will use now

$15 - s100 carnuba paste wax (just go to harley dealership, make sure you get the tub, not the bottle, paste wax)
same as p21s paste wax, but its cheaper and marketed for the motorcycle croud, hence being sold in the harley dealership

$11 - meguiars swirl remover http://www.meguiars.com/?pro-cleaner-polishs/Swirl-Remover
a fairly basic polish, its pretty forgiving and not extremely abrasive either




thats $95... youll still need microfiber towels and some sort of rubber and vinyl dressing to finish out the basics. i guess im over budget :(

I just started using 303 Aerospace protectant on most of my interior. Great stuff. Stay away from armor-all

Does 303 have silicon in it?

303 rocks! You can get it in bulk at Camping World. I use it on my spa cover too.
