Meguiar's S1025 Unigrit Finishing Paper - 25 Sheets Best Quality
The paper is fine and works well. I just want to make sure others realize, (as I did not) that these "sheets" are only 9' x 5 1/2" and not full sized sheets. It is still a good product but I was fooled into thinking it was a better price.Get more detail about Meguiar's S1025 Unigrit Finishing Paper - 25 Sheets.

Lowest Price Mothers Microfiber Performance Drying Towel
I like to try new things. Finding something that works better is my goal. This towel is very stiff, even after I wet it. The towel left too many streaks. I rung this towel till my hands hurt and still lots of water streaks. I been using it as a bulk drier (soaking up the majority of the water) and then go behind with another drying towel. It's an OK drying towel at best and at $[...] buck......... Keep Looking!Get more detail about Mothers Microfiber Performance Drying Towel.
Low Price Dual Action Deluxe CCS Foam Pad Kit
If you really want to take care of your car finish, this is the kit to buy. Together with a Porter Cable 7424 polisher, you can polish and wax like a true professional.
The pads vary from soft to firm. You can change pads in a second. They last and wash clean afterward. This kit is really great.
One caution: it's a good idea to cover molding with masking tape when using a power applicator. Or stay away from those areas and do them by hand.
This is my third orbital polishing system and by far the best I've ever used. Get more detail about Dual Action Deluxe CCS Foam Pad Kit.
Save Green Earth Technologies 01200 Brakedust Remover Wheel Cleaner 22 oz
I picked this up at my local hardware store since it was the only cleaner they had. The package said it quickly loosened brake dust, so I figured it'd be perfect for cleaning off the brake dust collecting on my wheels and compared to other wheel cleaners I've used, I was glad that it has no ill effects to humans or the environment...
Unfortunately this product does NOT work well at all! There was almost no "loosening" at all - It was about the same as just soap and water... If you really want to CLEAN your wheels, I'd reccommend the Armorall brand wheel cleaner, which will easily and effortlessly remove stuck on brake(though be sure to read the warning labels). If you want to be green, save your money and just use some gentle soap...Get more detail about Green Earth Technologies 01200 Brakedust Remover Wheel Cleaner 22 oz.

Cheapest Turtle Wax T-465 8 Oz Ice Polish Paste
This product is extremely easy to apply. It's also easy to wipe off, so long as you don't let it bake in direct sun for too long. If you mess up, spritz a little detailing spray over the Ice and it wipes right off. The appearance of the product while on your paint is very subtle. It does not dry to a white powder, so you do not have to be as meticulous around body panel seams. If you accidentaly leave a little residue around a make, model, or log badge it won't look too bad. You'll be the only one to notice.
You can also apply Ice to plastic trim on the outside of your car, and to alloy wheels for additional dirt repellance and shine. This potentially eliminates 2 more products that you keep to maintain your car's appearance (probably 4 or more, because we try several products before we find ones we really like).
The end result is an extremely deep, reflective shine if you start with a good paint surface. Consider a clay bar if you have sap, oxidation, etc. that make your paint rough to the touch for optimum results. It's well worth the extra work 1-2 times per year.
The only reason that Ice Paste didn't get 5 stars from me is because the shine is not as durable as Turtle Wax claims. Optimum shine only exists for about a week and it quickly deteriorates after that. I base this judgement off of the declining ability of the surface to create tight water beads. The time saved in applying the product is lost if you have to apply Ice more often than another product.
You can cure this problem by following up with a good quality, durable wax. This two step process gives you a better shine than wax alone, and greatly improved finish life. For me, this technique gives about 3 months of protection before I want to redo everything again. If you are a frequent waxer, you might be able to go much longer between Ice applications since you are more frequently repairing the harder, top surface.Get more detail about Turtle Wax T-465 8 Oz Ice Polish Paste.

Cheap Simoniz 17106 Liquid Diamond Liquid Car Polish. 16 oz.
this is a product I've used for the last several years, although I've never used this particular application. I bought this one to see if the applicator was as easy as the battery powered spray on. Not quite, but its still a really good car polish.
I used to be able to find this product in local automotive supply stores, but no more. Now I order it through Amazon - which is probably far cheaper ultimately. I've stocked up on this since I use it for my wife's car, my car, and my mother-in-law's car.
Creates a nice shine and helps protect the finish. I'd recommend this product to anyone.Get more detail about Simoniz 17106 Liquid Diamond Liquid Car Polish. 16 oz..

Buy Sapphire Color-up Prewax Cleaner, Pint
No where did this say it is not for use on vehicles with clear coat...but when I ordered a bottle, there it was in small writing on the label. What vehicles now a days do not have a clear coat?? Guess this is for very old vehicles only. It should have stated this somewhere or had it larger so you could see that before ordering it. I threw it away.

Order Counterweight for Porter Cable 7424 Polisher
This product description should have provided some insight on how to use this counterweight...from coastaltool.com:
This article covers the following Porter-Cable tools:
The 7335 5" & 7336 6" Random Orbit Sanders (along with the sander kits we sell, 97355 & 97366 respectively), and the 7424 Car Polisher.
The counterweight is a half-moon shaped piece of metal attached to the rotating shaft of the tool. This smooths out the random orbit action by providing a counter balance to the elliptical orbit of the rotating backing pad. If you change the pad size you must also change the counterweight or suffer unnecessary vibration and possible damage to the tool.
There are two different counter-weights which are clearly marked to indicate use with either the 5" or 6" backing pad. Therefore if you decide to outfit the 7335 5" Sander with a 6" backing pad for sanding or polishing you must switch to the counterweight used with 6" backing pads. The same goes for the 7336 6" Sander. If you decide to outfit it for 5" sanding or polishing you must switch to the counterweight used with 5" backing pads.
The only exception is when using the 54745 6" Foam Polishing Pad. Due to its light weight and the small-diameter backing pad used (included with pad), it can be used with the 5" or 6" pad counterweight. Porter-Cable outfits the 7424 Car Polisher with the 5" pad counterweight.

Mr. Clean Bug and Tar Remover Stick w/ Refill Review

Detailer's Choice 6-Piece Brush Detailing Kit Best Quality
Applicator sponge fell off during first use. No excuse for that. Some of the brushes are so badly designed that they can not be used.

No. 7 - Car and Truck Wash Concentrated Powder, 8 oz. (16140) Order Now
I have been using No. 7 car wash concentrate for 10 years and my dad has probably been using it for close to 30 years. This product is unique in that it is extremely gentle on finishes, rinses clean, gives you many buckets of suds per can, and is relatively cheap. The only downside I can think of for this product is that it is hard to locate in stores. Many mom & pop hardware stores used to carry it on their shelves, but with those closing more and more often, I was very happy to find that amazon sells the concentrate.

I have one of these in each car. It does the squeegee job well, and folds nicely into a smaller package. I often use it folded. This is a great product for those with smaller cars, or who just don't want the hassle of a permanent handle.
The handle is a bit too short for most SUV's windshields; it is about 14 inches or so when extended. But it is great for the other windows on my Ford Escape.Get more detail about Carrand 9038 8" Compact Folding Squeegee.

Low Price Blue Magic #800 16OZ LTHR/Vinyl Cleaner
I used this on the interior of my car and was initially very pleased with it. It made my vinyl dashboard, etc. and leather seats look very good...at first. 24 hours after using the product, the finish has become uneven and there is a white residue developing. I will have to redo the entire interior of my car. In addition, though the product was excellent on surface dirt, it was worthless on any ground in dirt. Overall, I'm pretty dissatisfied and will probably try some 3M or another reliable, better-known product. Get more detail about Blue Magic #800 16OZ LTHR/Vinyl Cleaner.

Shop For Camco 43623 RV Adjustable Broom and Dustpan
all in all, considering it's the only telescoping broom of it's type I've been able to find, it's benefits far outweigh it's drawbacks. I work on a boat with very little storage space in the galley, and this compact little unit fits nicely under the sink, saving me a trip whenever I need to sweep (which is quite often!). True, the mechanics could be manufactured to be a little sturdier, but for $13 I feel I got my use out of it. I must have used it 3 or 4 times a day, extending and collapsing it over and over for at least 3 1/2 months... and even when it stopped working at full capacity, it was still manageable. The first thing to go was the turn-locking function on one of the extentions, but I found if I was gentle enough I could still sweep without any problems.. the second thing to go was the locking mechanism on the bristle head, and now it just swings back and forth, but again.. I manage. So now it's time for a new broom. For the price, I guess it's not bad, but I agree with the previous reviewer, there's still a lot of room for improvement.Get more detail about Camco 43623 RV Adjustable Broom and Dustpan.

Permatex 26824 Spray Nine Multi-Purpose Cleaner and Disinfectant - 24 oz. Get it now!
This product is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!!! I cannot believe a cleaner that is recommended for vinyl could literally wipe out cleaners that have to be severely diluted in order to be suitable for that purpose. When I received this product in the mail today, I put this product head-to-head with 3 other popular cleaners/degreasers that are "somewhat" harsh for many surfaces. I first tested this product on the two handles on my refrigerator since they were quite "yellowish" and hadn't been cleaned in several years. The handle that I cleaned the Spray Nine with literally turned "white" right before my eyes!!!! I tested the other 3 products at "full strength" on the other handle and the handle stayed yellow!!!! These results are EXTRAORDINARY and the fact that this product isn't nearly as harsh as some other cleaners makes me wonder why I didn't start using this product years ago!!!! The only thing that I find wrong with this product is the fact that I can't find it at any of the local department stores in Florida. I guess I will have to order this in huge bundles off the internet until then!!!! Thanks a lot Spray Nine for such a WONDERFUL PRODUCT!!!!Get more detail about Permatex 26824 Spray Nine Multi-Purpose Cleaner and Disinfectant - 24 oz..

I love this stuff...and I don't even have a boat or an RV. I use this on many of the metal products at my house and would not recommended anything else. Plus, this is a big tub of polish (14oz.).
