My favorite Shampoo's are:

Chemical Guys Glossworkz

Chemical Guys Glossworkz Hi-Foam Gloss Booster & pH Neutral Auto Wash 16 oz.

Meguiar's Gold Class


As far as Microfibers go, I like PakShak and Uber towels.

and what wash mitt?

[sikedsyko]

For soaps to use before a paint correction or a fresh waxing, I use Chemical Guys Citrus wash because it helps break down waxes and and other oily substances on the paint.

For any wash after a LSP has been applied I use Sonax Gloss Shampoo. It leaves an amazing shine on well kept paint.

As for a wash mitt I use this http://www.detailersdomain.com/Uber-...-V2_p_515.html and this wash sponge http://www.detailersdomain.com/Uber-...nge_p_196.html

And for drying I would recommend two of the Uber Waffle weave towels over the Super Drying Microfiber. The latter feels like its gentler on the paint, but unless you have a way to air dry the majority of the the car, it will take two towels to completely dry it. And the Waffle weaves absorb a crazy amount of water.

i was going to buy that wash mitt but its expensive. is it worth it?

[sikedsyko]

Well... I love it, but honestly there are websites out there with less expensive ones that are probably good too. I'm sure Danny or Zat will chime in with what they use.

[luke1333]

well if you love it and say its good then what the heck i might as well get it lol

Majestic Solutions Ultra Gloss its cheaper than Chemical Guys Glossworkz and is far better in my opinion. I have a gallon of Glossworkz and its still 75% full. Or Lusso Oro Autobathe its probably the most expensive but the considered the best by many pros and enthusiasts. Adams is also good and so is Prima Hydro.

Uber wool mitt I hear is very good, and so is the Uber sponge. I dont have one because I uses Mothers sheepskin mitts they $10 but works great and are very gentle on the finish. But I suggest at least getting the Uber Sponges I have heard many great things about them and they are like $6.

Uber Super Drying Microfiber is one of the safest microfibers you can get for drying due to its deep nap. I have a Peaks Premium Ultra Plush Drying Microfiber its similar can be had at Pepboys for $6 its a huge microfiber in forest green color and is the only OTC microfiber that I will ever recommend getting. I was told to get this by other detailing enthusiasts last year and it honestly is great. But I suggest you get a Uber as well its always great to support Phil since he is one of our vendors and has some of the best customer service from any business I know. He currently has them on sale and then you can still use the discount code. I also have Pakshak Ultra Soft Waffle Weaves and Detailed Image Waffle Weaves all are great and safe to use.

But my Metro Masterblaster I got from Phil is my favorite tool for drying it is simply amazing! I dont even have to use my drying towels hardly anymore just some quick detailing towels to use to go over the finish with some detail spray to remove the water streaks from using the masterblaster and I am done.

But a flat rate of $10 is not bad especially if your getting heavy items like gallons and machines
