    So with Black Friday just around the corner (and prime day just in a few) i wanted to start to compile my list of things to be on the hunt for and am looking for some recommendations.

    Maybe some of you guys can fill in the blanks on what should get to bring it to the next level.
    Wheels: PS Brake Buster
    Tires: Shine Supply Wise Guy
    Wash: Whatever i have laying around that works in a cannon, almost out of CG purple wash/wax
    Coating: PS Beadmaker
    Tire shine: Waxaddict Feeder
    Interior/Exterior Trim: 303 Aerospace
    Quick Detail: Merlins Magic Elixir (homemade)
    Glass: Sprayaway glass cleaner
    Rags: Mostly Kirkland gold towels

    I'd like to up my towel game. I have 3 pfm's that are amazing and i'll probably try to get some more. I'd like to have some waffle weave towels for the glass. I'd like to see if there's a better trim dressing out there

    The truck is about due for a full wax job, so i'll be looking for something for a clay and paste. I have a maguires DA polisher that a friend gave me, i should probably get some new pads for it.

    I'll probably try to grab some cerakote for trim and probably headlights.

    What else am i missing?

    Wheels: PS Brake Buster * i believe the new wise guy is safe for wheels and works well but I'm not positive. I like brake buster
    Tires: Shine Supply Wise Guy
    Wash: Whatever i have laying around that works in a cannon, almost out of CG purple wash/wax
    Coating: PS Beadmaker * I would go with griots 3 in 1 over beadmaker
    Tire shine: Waxaddict Feeder
    Interior/Exterior Trim: 303 Aerospace * if you're ordering from shine supple check out their clean and shine and their trim shine
    Quick Detail: Merlins Magic Elixir (homemade) * if you make your own you could just use the Reload as your sealant but the griots 3 in 1 seems to be the choice for sealant.
    Glass: Sprayaway glass cleaner * i like stoner glass cleaner
    Rags: Mostly Kirkland gold towels * think about getting a griots PFM drying towel, they are amazing.

    Thanks Sean!
    I'm probably going to order a decent amount from Shine supply, so i'll look at their trim products. I've been really happy with their wise guys tire cleaner, so i'll try some other stuff.
    I love my PFM's, i have 3, and i think i need to get another 2 or 3 so i can dry the fleet (seems like the truck takes 2 and the other two cars have to share 1). I want to get a bunch of waffle weave and some buffing towels, so i'll probably hit rag company.
    I'm also looking for some good pads, and a good paste wax.

    Like @Pudge said, the new Wise Guy formula works on wheels also. It works as well, if not better than Brake Buster. You’ll save some dough by not buying two separate products.

    The Rag Company is tough to beat on towels. (Besides PFM).
    Look at the Eagle Edgeless 500 for general duty washing.
    The Everest is great for washing, and outstanding for wax / sealant removal.
    The Double Twistress is second only to the PFM for drying in my opinion. (a little cheaper, and sometimes the smaller size is handy.)
    I don’t use waffle weave a lot, but TRC is still gonna be your best bet there.

    Beadmaker leaves a better shine, but Griots 3-in-1 lasts a hell of a lot longer. I’d say if you’re wanting to use wax, then skip Beadmaker.

    For paste wax, Shine Supply Signature Shine is my favorite besides Waxaddict Vortex. Vortex is super expensive and has to be ordered from overseas though.
    I also love Shine Supply Cherry Silica Wax, but it’s not a paste. It’s a liquid. It lasts longer than Signature Shine, but I feel like it doesn’t pop as much.

    Note: The Rag Company will almost certainly run a Black Friday sale. Shine Supply never has to my knowledge. We do get 10% off with the forum discount code though. (Tundra10)

    Thanks Jason! This is great info.
    I'll be on the hunt for all those rags and 3-in-1.

    The only reason why i say i'm due for a paste wax is because my commuter car's (06 Toyota Matrix) factory spoiler got bubbles in the clear coat and now has the skin cancer, luckily its just on the spoiler. About 3 years ago, i did a full paint correction and ceramic coating on it. I figured that that wouldn't happen, and since both the truck and the commuter stay outside 24/7, i dont want something similar to happen to the truck. Do you think all these ceramics protect the paint well or should i throw a wax'ing once or twice a year?

    Honestly depending on the wax , you're looking at a couple weeks maybe a month of true protection, especially from UV light. A sealant 3 times a year would do much better for you. Griots 3 in 1 seems to last 3-6 months ,you'd be lucky to get 3-6 weeks from a paste wax.

    Dang. I'll grab probably a big jug of 3-in-1 then. Its the green stuff you guys are talking about? Use it just like beadmaker (post wash)?

    As others have said.....skip the Brake Buster. Others have had success with it....I have almost a gallon that I'd be willing to give away. For an APC, I switched from Meguiars to Optimum Power Clean a couple of years ago...and have never looked back. Depending on the type of tires you have, consider Griots Black Satin aerosol for a tire dressing. They call it a coating......its in between a tire coating and a dressing. Watch Pep Boys for sales on the Griots PFM drying towels....they are the best I've used. If you have a coating, consider CarPro Reset.....pricey, but definitely one of the best. P&S Pearl shampoo is very underrated as a car wash, and is very reasonably priced....you can get it for around 20.00 a gallon.

    Do you plan on redoing the coating?

    Thats interesting about the Brake Buster, i've only used them a couple different times, but it seemed to works well on my plasti-dip'd trd off road wheels. What are the complaints about it?

    Carpro reset is amazing, but damn its expensive. I'm running low, i dont think i've ever used it by itself, its always mixed with ech2o and distilled water for my quick detailer (merlins magic elixir).

    I was going to buy a gallon and and a large sprayer of the griots 3 in 1 but i thought i should try it first before i went for the big jug. I'll try to find some locally.

    I bought a gallon of waxaddict tyre feeder (whatever the purple one is), and couldn't be happier. It really lasts a long time. I just want to find a better way of applying it other than a foam applicator. Back in the day, my dad and i would find a dish that goes under a outdoor planter bowl thats the same size as the rim and use it to cover the rim as you spray tire shine on it. worked really well. I just need to find a spray bottle that doesn't really hose down the wheels and waste the really expensive waxaddict.

    In my experience.....dilute it too much and its ineffective....dilute it too little and it leaves a residue.

    I agree with most, brake buster is meh. New wise guy formula is good for both tires and wheels, just check dilution. If you have some nasty wheels, megs wheel brightener acid.
    Soaps, I the only CG products I'm ever use, honeydew and Mr. Pink.
    Coatings, if you are ordering from shine supply, burnout is amazing, pretty much an AIO that lays down Sio2 base. Daddy O is another great sealant to top burnout or GG 3-1. Topper, punch it or clutch, beadmaker is great for a quick pop/shine/slickness, durability sucks...
    Pads, uro fiber 50/50 for everything except sealant/wax, LC red/black foam pads.
    If you are adventurous and wanna try something new, xtreme solutions has a lot of great products tested by Brian Spitler of Apex Detailing. LVR369 AIO, LVR 403/404 glaze, jersey devil topper, poly seal sealant. Those are my next purchases

    X2 on the Uro Fiber.....amazingly versatile pads. Xtreme Solutions is a product line that flies under the radar...LVR500 works a lot like 3D One....excellent cut and finish.

    If people are willing to try something new, Xtreme Solutions will probably have a deal coming. Normally you can get 10% with code Apex. I'm thinking they will be my go to for compounds, polishes, sealants. All excellent reviews.

    LVR 369
    LVR 403
    LVR 500
    Poly Seal
    Topper

    Shine supply for wheels and trim
    Optimum paint prep
    P&S Xpress interior
    P&S iron buster
    CG soaps
    Griots detailer for clay lube

    That's about my list and go to for detailing this next year

    Whats the good ones to get. Got Wise Guys already.

    Edit:
    I just went through all the pages, and its overwhelming. Seems like they have multiple products for the same application.

    I really like their ironx as well

    20% off doesn't work on polishers, but the 10% does. Even works on Rupes

    I'll look at those. With the exception of Wise Guys, those others all seem like correction and sealant. I just used Griots 3-in-1 for my winter coating, so i'm probably good on those.

    I wouldn't mind some interior products, wheel cleaner, maybe a all in one.

    Does anyone know how their waterless wash works? I need to decide if i should order more carpro reset to make Merlins Elixir (my go to waterless), or if i should try something else.

    I recently tried their wise guy wheel/tire cleaner and it worked great. They also carry the incredipad xl, which i've only used once, but it was also fantastic and made for a bit quicker of a wash

    Besides Wise Guy and other things people have already recommended, I like a couple of their waxes a lot. Signature Shine and Cherry Silica Wax are both really great.
    I’m a big fan of their Eco-Shine waterless wash.
    Spiked Punch is a pretty impressive detail spray also. Good time to try it with the discount.

    I can use a wheel brush for my deep dish Havoks, but read alot of bad reviews about it. Does yours leave a bunch of little black hairs behind after use?
