Good car cleaning products advice
What sites or places would you all recommend for the following: tire and wheel brush, soap, wheel cleaner, wash mits, microfiber towels, exhaust tip polishing and whatever else you guys can think of? I know of two main sites, chemical guys and adams polishes. Of the things I listed which products are best and how does a Walmart brush compare to chemical guys? Is there any difference? Thanks!

I’ve had good success with both Adams Shampoo and Carpro Reset. https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showp...&postcount=301 Wash mit: Works well, easy to maintain. https://www.chemicalguys.com/Chenill..._p/mic_493.htm Wheel brush: These kind are good for grillework and wheels. While they won’t reach across a whole 11” or 12” barrel, but won’t scratch the finish or spray you like the stiff bristle kind. https://www.chemicalguys.com/Gerbil_..._p/acc_b01.htm Drying: gas powered leaf blower + two Guzzler waffle weave towels. For the dirtiest parts of the car like Exhaust tips, underneath rockers/splitter and wheels/tires: cheap walmart variety zero pile MF towers like these. Color coded. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Zwipes-Mi...-Pack/24101265 Also for exhaust tips: Stainless Steel Magic Https://hardwareonlinestore.com/inde...xoCcrgQAvD_BwE Mothers power ball or power cone if they get real bad (haven’t yet in 15 mos). Paint safe towels for quick detailing, applying reload, etc: A half dozen or so 500g/sm 16”x16” plush edgeless microfiber towels. https://www.amazon.com/RAG-COMPANY-P.../dp/B00GXRG64I |

Autopia.com and Autogeek.com. Those guys can get real anal about cleaning. Look for holiday sales coming up. Get on the mailing list for notifications.

Soap.... Autogeek, Autopia, or Detailed Image. They have sales occasionally at 25% off and free shipping. Gallons are your best deal. Wheel Cleaner......with a good sealant or coating on the wheels, you will only need soap and water. Wash mitt...Microfiber Madness Incredimitt...sold @ Carpro USA (Sky's the limit car care) I have around 275 uses on mine and it still performs as new, unbelievably durable, and very safe on clear coats. Microfiber Towels...…..The Rag Company....Korean made towels...great value for quality.....if you want the best towels made by anyone.....Microfiber Madness @ Carpro USA....the Crazy Pile is fantastic....expensive though. Exhaust tip polishing......Nevr Dull...sold at Wal-Mart, fast, easy, and works great. Best products other than these? SM Arnold Speedy Prep Towel (fine grade)...….this towel made clay obsolete.....lasts for 100 uses, you'll never need another one if your doing your own cars only. Don't loan it out...you wont get it back easily! Ultima Waterless Wash Plus concentrate. A bottle makes 5.5 gallons of waterless wash/detail spray/clay lube.....very high quality....and priced great. Carpro Hydrofoam……..put protection on your car that lasts 3 months just by washing the car with it.....nothing to buff....works on all surfaces...highly resistant against acids (bird bombs and bug splatter) Carpro Essence...….polish your paint in 1/2 the time a standard finishing polish takes, and produces a very high gloss.

I get most of my products from:
Autogeek DetailedImage.com Amazon My favorites are Meguiar's, Chemical Guys and CarPro. I buy in gallon sizes. There are companies that make great product but don't sell it in the quantities or price point I need for my business customers (Adams and McKees37.) If I were to go with one product line for all my cleaning products it would be the Meguiar's Detailer product line.
