Finish Kare wax, Griots Complete, a Set of drill brushes.....
He means a foam cannon. It attaches to a pressure washer or hose, and has a resivour that holds car wash soap, when you turn on the water it creates a thick soap foam you cover you car in to wash it. Its supposed to clean really well, I've never used one.

Just purchased these at Advance Auto. They had a deal where if you buy this wash for $13.99 you get this certain wax 50% off. I’ve had really good luck with Turtle Wax products before. Now I just want to get some wheel cleaner and tire shine which I will probably get at Walmart. I used to laugh at people who bought this kind of stuff at the parts stores but today after visiting 4 parts stores I realized how good their selection is compared to Walmart so I decided to get these items. Plan to wash my Escape, truck, possibly the Beetle and old Camry all this week or weekend. I may need to get more wax for all of them haha. I need to pick up more Little Trees at Walmart too. Always have a hard time deciding between New Car Scent, Royal Pine and Black Ice. Occasionally I’ll buy a different scent but some give me a headache. I used to hate washing and detailing cars but i started loving it a couple years ago.
I get most of my stuff during the winter when there's a clearance. I sure like that eagle one product that was like the nano All surface in the blue bottle. they did away with it but before they did a couple years ago I bought like 20 bottles of it for $2 a piece. the only downfall I found out was that had carnauba and it sure attracted a lot of flying critters that had stingers like bees and wasps. no bueno.

Oh is Carnauba not a good thing? Yeah it makes sense to get it during the winter. I just can’t find any of our car wash stuff at home haha.

Bought this stuff at Walmart. Dad bought the microfiber towels and headlight restorer stuff. I bought everything else. My total was $18. Anybody got experience with this tire shine? They didn’t have a big selection at all for tire shine. This was a middle priced one so I figure it’s ok haha. I mean it seems it’s hard to mess up tire shine. The wheel and tire cleaner I’m excited for. Hoping to clean the white letters on my tires from all the brake dust and make the rims look nice. I never cared about detailing at all until about last year when I got hooked on it. It’s fun to buy supplies for it. They were just about sold out of everything. It’s so much more fun to do your own wash and detail than going to a car wash and wasting money.
I seen the same car wash I bought there for $6.99 but heck I got $14 wax for $7 so it still came out cheaper from Advance Auto then it would have at Walmart buying both together. It appears the Turtle Wax wash and Meguires Pure Gold and Purple Power car washes sell the best.
My friend loves Chinese takeout - no really. He once attempted to crack open his takeout box in my vehicle so "the food would not get doggy" during transit. I refused. I don't have and I don't want little pine tree airbfresheners dangling from my mirror like you see in spicy NYC cabs.

Had to get carpet cleaner. Couldn’t find ours it’s old anyway so just got more. Wasn’t exactly the one I was looking for but similar. No detail is complete without a clean interior. I was looking for the one that said carpet/ mats with oxi. This one is Interior 1 multi purpose. It was the only can left so must work good. Will have to go to the auto parts store to get the other one as Walmart doesn’t carry it in this area. And got a new nozzle too because we also lost that too. Have to have that to spray the cars lol.

Purchases today. Dad bought the wash mitt and Armor All wipes. I bought the brush and glass cleaner. I really wanted to try the Chemical Guys glass cleaner but I couldn’t see paying the extra $7 to get it. I’ve used this glass cleaner for as long as I can remember and it’s always been reliable and smells good so it’s what I like. When I have some extra money I want to try more of the Chemical Guys products and Jay Leno’s Garage products. I don’t see much talk about either of those here. I’m going to try and knock out at least 3 cars tomorrow. Hopefully I have enough wax for them all.

Some new products tonight that we are going to try out. I got the Invisible Glass glass cleaner specifically for mom who doesn’t think my Sprayway is good enough lol
. That and some cherry blossom air fresheners car vent clips for her too. Then since my aerosol cans of trim restorer that I bought are both missing the tips so I can’t spray them I had to get a different one. So I have been wanting to try Jay Leno’s Garage products so I decided I’ll start with this product and see how it does. Haven’t seen much information on his products here. Then we got a Chemical Guys Clay Bar Kit. And a Mothers Headlight Restoration Kit. The Turtle Wax kit is great but only has a little bit of stuff in it so we have a bunch of other vehicles to restore lights on so needed more. Our Walmart is not nearly as loaded as the one in my work town. The one in my work town has so much more stuff than all of ours here. Ours doesn’t carry the Chemical Guys Clay Bar Kit and doesn’t have nearly the selection of their products like the one in my work towns has.

Also wanted to say so far the Jay Lenos Garage trim restorer has done great the last 3 or so months. Still looks brand new.
