Biweekly Assistance Post! Ask Anything Detailing Related That You Need Assistance With! - August 18, 2022

I'm trying to take car of my own daily driver at home, but I don't have access to hose, pressure washer, etc. I know a lot of you aren't fans of Pan (and that's OK), but I still liked his take on a rinseless wash method here.

This method is actually doable for me, but I'd like to ask you just double-check my shopping list first. I'm trying to stick mostly to Amazon and keep it relatively inexpensive while still covering my bases...

For the main wash

  • iK Multi Pro 2 Pump Sprayer - $35
  • 5-gallon bucket - $5-$10
  • Chemical Guys grit guard - $10
  • ONR 32oz - $21
  • Griot's Bug and Smudge remover - $15 (if there's bug guts, heavy stuff that I need to spray on first)
  • Rag Company Ultra Black Foam Sponge - $20

For drying

  • Titan SiO2 Hybrid Detailer - $20
  • Dreadnought microfiber towel - $25

For Tires/Wheels

  • P&S Brake Buster - $14
  • Mothers Tire Brush - $8
  • Chemical Guys wheelie brush - $10
  • Fitosy wheel rim brush (that long thing) - $10
  • Chemical Guys Boars Detailing Brush (for lug nuts) - $8
  • Amazon Basics Microfiber cleaning clothes pack of 24 (figured go cheap for drying the wheels) - $14
  • Adam's Graphene Tire Dressing + Applicator - $19

For Windows

  • Invisible Glass - $5
  • Rain-X (original, not the 2-in-1 cleaner) - $6
  • Rag Company Waffle Weave Microfiber Towels pack of 3 - $10

For Ocassional Paint Protection

  • Griot's 3-in-1 Ceramic Wax - $22
  • Griot's Plush Edgeless Microfiber Cloths pack of 2 (1 for applying, 1 for buffing) - $15

Total = $290(ish)
