    Hey guys, new to this detailing scene. Been on the forum for awhile though and decided to post some of my goodies.

    Well, when I first got my car I decided to reserve $500 max for detailing supplies. Well I went over that amount in about two orders... now sitting at $1k in supplies, I think I'll take a break. This hobby is getting really expensive. :doh:

    All I'm missing is some expensive wax.

    I don't know about you guys but sometimes when there's a sale/deal, It's really hard to resist so I just buy a little bit to feel better. Little by little things add up and damn, that is sure a lot of money to clean a car.
    My family thinks I'm crazy... :thud: and I kind of believe them.

    I don't have anything with me right now since they're all in Austin but here's what I got with me right now.

    Some MF from Justin @ OD. Ordered Friday, got here on Monday.

    My collection when I'm in Houston. Thanks to Phil @ DD, I have a BUNCH of Uber towels, that's about half of what I got.

    Great collection of micro fiber towels :thumb:

    You can never have enough micro fiber towels, not sure what it is about micro fiber but you can always use more and more :druling:

    Awesome stuff Minh! I am slowly moving my detailing goodies from my storage unit to my garage, so I'll have some goodies for you to try out if you'd like since I have a lot more gallon size product than I thought I did!!!

    Looking good. Its an addiction. I'm glad my family has never seen my products. They'd take me to see a phyciatrist!! I could probably make a set of bed sheets and pillow cases out of Justin's Ultra Premiums!

    Sounds good. Another bad habit of mine is ordering a gallon of stuff to "sample"... can't seem to justify buying a 16oz for X amount and I can get a gal for XX amount.

    Just got some FK425 and DG AW, gallon size :doh:
