    Obviously you're a CG fan. Is that all you've ever had experience with? I was looking at picking up some of their stuff (mostly interior/exterior cleaners, dressings, and soaps). But I always hear mixed feelings about them.

    How do you like the Smart Wax applicators? Looks like you've got a good number of them.

    The smartwax applicatores are OK...but you cant beat them at 25 cents each!!!

    I have found g6 not that durible compared to other dressings out there. But it is a good tire shine. Just not worth the price.

    Cool collection.

    From having a small personal collection for the past few years, I would say that the products I burn through the quickest on just my personal vehicles are:

    - APC - I didn't see a gallon of it in your collection. Get it in quantity and get a pump if you get it in the 1 gallon size. Works on interiors too
    - ONR - Rinseless washes work well for clay lube, rinseless washes, quick detailing, and everything in between. Just a good versatile product to have.
    - Wash mitts - Having a hand full is a good idea. I have a few spares when one gets a touch too stained or dirty for my liking. It's nice to have one for different parts of the body as well.

    I dont have a link for them, I live 20 minutes away from chemical guys so I just drive there. They are decent.. I wouldnt say they are soft though...I love using them for trim pieces window rubber. I use the red ones for wax.

    APC - All Purpose Cleaner. I used Megs D103, after you dilute it, it ranges between $1 and $4 a gallon.
    ONR - Optimum No Rinse. A very versatile product with great lubricity.

    Something else I learned, is that products are always being upgraded, so don't buy too much of one thing. I know you're pretty well stocked, but keep that in mind.

    I bought a gallon of ONR thinking I would use it for the next few years. By time I had used 32oz, version 2 of ONR came out. By time I used 64oz, version 3 came out. I bought Opti-seal, but saved a bit of it knowing I would want to use it over the course of a year or two, however a new version was released. I bought 32oz of M105 and M205 when it came out, and now, Megs M101 and D300 have been released. I bought Surbuf pads a year ago, and now, there are new MF pads by CG, OPT, and Meguiars.

    I have to show restraint when I want to buy things in quantity because I need to realize that products, just like technology, are updated very quickly.
