So I have been on this forum for more than a couple years now, added some insight on product discussion, joked around a wee bit, posted maybe a detail or two. I DO DETAIL! Even though I don't post many I am a weekend warrior at heart and most weekends you can find me detailing my Jeep by trying new products, my girlfriends car, family, friends, and so forth and so on. Well I was organizing my collection last night after picking up some products from Eric at Autoality in Pittsburgh, which, if you haven't been to, I HIGHLY recommend it, great guy and what a sweet shop chock full of amazingness, and decided to post up some pictures of my collection and tools. It aint too much but just enough for a guy like me. What is not pictured are the gallon containers I have of a lot of these products. It would seem from the list below I am an Adam's or Prima fan boy but I like trying things in waves so I have currently working my way through their products. I will admit I am a Prima fan boy.

Thanks for viewing hope you enjoyed! Chas
Pick up the raceglaze XL brush from autoality. Nice collection of products otherwise. Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk
Yeah I will next time, seems like it would be a great brush given its thinner profile as compared to brushes with huge bristles on them. Like on my Jeep, the inner barrels of the rims are pretty close to the brake pad housing that it can be hard/nearly impossible to get the Uber spoke brush between the two.
Hmm let me grab this button down shirt, tie, pair of shoes and my makita.... off to work! Nice pickups Chad, good stuff!
haha yeah would seem like the logical thing, although I don't know how well a Makita would work in finding market manipulation/fraud. Thanks for the compliment, Dave.
Karl, they did a few years ago maybe up until like the end of 2009, there was actually a buying frenzy on here when it was found at Harbor Freight but I think it's few and far between if at all in stock with them now. I got this for $10 I think, no joke. Someone posted a review of the accuracy as compared to something like the Defelsko or Highline and it was pretty close to both of those as far as accuracy. I think the thread is at AG if I remember correctly. However, the one downside is that it only reads on metal panels, not fiber glass or plastic so it does have some limitations.
Get rid of those cheap home depot spray bottles. I bought 3 when I first started buying bulk product. 1 broke within 15 sprays, 1 broke about 2 months later, and the third is still a piece of crap. lol Pick up the Rubbermaid one's from walmart, or drop some cash on some Kwazaar's. You'll never look back.
THEY ARE HORRENDOUS! I don't know what I was thinking when I picked them up, they never work, they constantly crack/break, get clogged, or the tops pop right off. I was thinking about getting some nicer ones this week. I'll check out the Rubbermaid ones tonight, but like you said I may just pony up the coin and go with the Kwazars
