There's way more than that. Those are just 10 of MANY indispensable products.

There are many many more like everyone, but these are ones that I feel I always come back to.

 

I feel this could've even been further narrowed down to 10 indispensable tools, 10 indispensable interior products, polishing products, exterior cleaning products, etc.

 

I would just suggest exploring menzerna a little more. 3M has some good stuff, but having used both extensively, ill still go with menz over 3M. If you're dead set on trying 3M, see if you know anyone that works at a body shop that can order it for you. My local NAPA store actually carries some 3M in their autobody section.

 

this is a great post for us newbies that are looking to improve their collection! keep them coming!
