    Looks good, that'll be a nice order. Those Uber Ultra MFs are very nice. You'll like them a lot. I prefer them over the CG Monsters.

    I would add CG Blacklight I used it the other day for the first time and it really did add a little something to the car topped with V7 looks great.

    Agree add a couple Uber sponges and if possible Einszett Glanz wax.

    If you're on a tight budget, you don't need to order the buckets, just the guard will do, as long as you have buckets already?

    id prob say ditch the glass sealant. It doesnt bead hard enough so just use your wipers.

    Can pick up your buckets at Home Depot and drop the grit gaurds in to save cash!

    thanks for the replies. i probably will just get the grit guards separate but i do like the screw on top from the buckets. the kit comes with CWG so what can replace that as a LSP stripper...dawn? Since there is no need to order from CG then i don't think i am going to spend ten bucks on shipping for blacklight. i already have AG HD wax so i think i should pass on the einszett glanz. the glass sealant is not that great huh? i am using rainx right now but it really does not do much at all for me. oh and already adding the uber sponges to the list. keep the opinions coming please!

    rainx is crap lol, get some Gtechniq G1, lasts a year+ nano coating and its awesome. Though its more expensive, little goes long ways and lasts forever.
    the CG screw bucket is also actually quite nice but yeah if you're on a budget, get homedepot buckets

    Crap is harsh! While I would not say its crap, it still has its place- inexpensive and can be used many times per bottle. On a personal car Gtech is the way to go! G3 works at slower speeds than G1 tho and has worse durability less than half, but can have more uses since its 100ml, and I believe its a creme.

    Rain-x has some awesome beading, especially that first week, it's durability is a huge downside though. It has its place on side/rear windows.

    isn't g1 on the other side of the pond? do they sell it in the US? rainx does work a little bit but then after a few days it does stop beading. thanks for the help. since i am not spending money at chemical guys it means more money spent at detailers domain! =]

    Get the smaller ONR. It has more uses than just a waterless wash.
    Once you try it you will love it. Great clay bar lube and detail spray.

    so since i am not going to be ordering from chemical guys right now i have more money to spend at detailersdomain! yay! haha. so i was wondering...in terms of durability and ease...how does einszett glanz wax compare to ag hd wax?

    you can always use wax on your windows............. does the same thing as RainX. if you are on a budget, look for products that can do dual duty.

    I prefer the look I get from Einszett Glanz much more than Autoglym HD. I never was/am a fan of Autoglym HD wax. Einszett Glanz is easier to apply and you can layer immediately. No wait time. Plus it lasts a very long time something like 6 months or more. Very good wax and IMO it's price is very low for how well it performs.
