Pic of car detailing products...am I mad/alone?

[GavP]

A quick pics of some of my car cleaning products...sad or what!!



As you can see, I'm mad on the Meguiars products (mits, microfibre cloths, all out of shot!)

I've also got a PC buffer to use when I'm feeling lazy.

Does anyone else have this kind of obsession?

Thought for a moment I'd wandered onto Halford's site!!

Just bought first mitt & microfibre cloths (Meguiars) & used them on Saturday - makes a hell of a difference - been bitten by detailing bug myself now - oh well there goes one day every weekend

I'm not quite at that level yet but I'm certainly getting there! I spent over £150 of cleaning products when I first got the car; including several Meguiars brushes just for the wheels!

The thing that inpresses me most is how well they are arranged on the shelf! My local ASDA are recruiting!

Aaagh, nice to see my shelf stacking skills picked up at tesco's some 20 years ago (christ, that long ago...I am getting old ) are finally being recognised !

Dude, have you insured that stuff? got to be worth a fortune. Should be in a glass fronted cabinet, with alarm protection.


yes, you are a bit mad by the way.

[mendel williams]

Is that all you have ???????????????????






















Only joking that is quite impressive

I did miss out the buffing machine, the wheel brush and adjustable body duster ... honestly. In fact, you can see the body duster hanging up on the wall - in this reflection shot http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...arage_Side.jpg (just under mirror)

If I bring my car round will you clean it for me?

[jimmy_racoon]

very nice array of detailing items.

In the frozen north, we can only use our garages this way once it thaws.

Not a good thing when your hard earned money result in frozen inventory.

very nice arrangement.

MINI shots are quite impressive, as well.

Motor on.

, i don't have a garage, and only a tiny apartment, but i have an entire under-sink area with detailing supplies. mostly bought by a super-wonderful coworker who wanted to introduce me to the idea of car washing when i got the mini. awww! how awesome!

I just bought nearly all of that stuff the other day (£75 ish), add to that my complete Autoglym collection (which is now being given to family and friends as I no longer use them) and I must have amassed somewhere in the region of £200 worth of cleaning products (maybe more but scared to count).

I spent 4.5 hours on Saturday cleaning an already clean car, it is MUCH cleaner now though. This weekend will be all of the same (need to do a few layers of gold Class after some more carnuba wax). Hopefully, come show season I will have it the way I want it

Well done for making me feel a little less mad

Hi fellow madman... 4.5 hours... Pah, lightweight. A couple of years ago I remember cleaning our last mini for 6-7 hours the day before driving up to the motor show (mini meet at the bmw plant nearby). After all that cleaning it got dirty (well I thought it was dirty) on the way - never mind - I knew it was clean before.

I agree about the Autoglym - I used that before Meguiars.

I also spent a whole day last Sept with a mate of mine detailing an mx5 I had - which effectively made about 16 hours of detailing in one go. The car was cleaned, clayed, de-scratched, polished, waxed etc, engine bay detailed...and looked wicked when it was done. I sold it soon afterwards...

It is nice when you step back, look at the car, and think " Now that`s clean!", the thing I like is the more hard graft you put in the more benefits you reap. It rained heavily on Saturday night and the car got soaked, all it took was a quick shammy down and it was gleaming again. The more layers of wax you can get on a car the better, it actually saves time in the long run.

my cleaning products have there own locker in the garage....

got that many now..

[TrufflePig]

that's incredible

i am starting to build me collection. and it will look like that.

do you always use PC or do it by hand. if you use #21 that has to be done by hand.
