I will be using ONR, so I already know thats one thing I need, but what else? I have 0 Idea what I need. Any suggestions for a nice all around basic kit for a newb? For now I will be staying away from using any power tools. Hope to get the PC for Christmas and really go to town, but for now I just need something basic. I also have a sample of Colonite 845 (thanks again agpatel!), but have nothing to apply it with... Thanks for any help!
-Bucket -Washing sponge, or mitt -some brushes to clean tires, wheels -foam applicators for wax -mfs for drying -MFs for wax removal -tire dressing -cheap foam applicator or foam brush for tire dressing application -all purpose cleaner to clean gunk that onr cant get off -bug and tar remover to get rid of well bugs and tar or other gunk that apc cant get rid of Pretty basic list there...others can chime in if they think of anything.
Thats one of the issues I am having. I dont really know how much to budget to get everything I need to start with.
agpatel's list is pretty straight forward. To cut down on cost I would suggest picking up a gallon of some APC so that you could dilute it to different strengths, this will cut down on the number of products to buy such as tire/wheel cleaners. For the brushes, I would get a wheel brush like the Zymol one, a soft bristle one for the face and a stiff brush for the tires.
product: car wash apc clay bar wheel cleaner tar remover sealant wax glass cleaner trim dressing tire dressing metal polish interior vinyl/ plastic cleaner and dressing with uv protection carpet cleaner leather cleaner leather conditioner tools: 2 5 gallon buckets with grit guards wash mitt wash sponge soft bristle wheel face brush swissvax style brushes (2 or 3) tire brush microfibers (different ones for the different applications ie glass, wax removal, drying, interior, etc.) spray bottles shop vac there.s probably more. i.m just shooting from the hip.
I agree with agpatel list, probably add in another wax so you can do a basic wash and wax.. Always good to work on proper washing first.
