Dang that was quick ordered Thursday afternoon didn't pay shipping and already have my MM towels. Car-Pro definitely has me as a returning customer. First thought on the towels is that they are very soft and plush. Right of the bat they seem nicer than my Adam's towels, will see after their wash and first use.

I have Xpel Ultima, the sealer is coming tomorrow. It says once every 3 months.

Look experts, my car was born on May 26th, I got her on June 7th. It was pollen crazy season here. I just want to wash her correctly (I have Adams wash) and then protect her (I have the Xpel sealant, and a sh*t ton of Meguiers products). I was looking for a little help.

Washing "correctly", which to me means minimizing the risk of scratches would require the following products.

Two buckets each with grit guards
Atleast one good quality mitt like a wool mitt or microfiber maddness imcredimit
Foam gun
Good quality wash soap(Adams is good)
An assortment of wheel tools like a lug nut brush and wheel whoolies which would make wheel washing 1000 times easier and minimize scratches
A good wax would make pooling rinses easier, lessening the amount of places you need to touch the car to dry it.
A good drying towel is imperiartive if you don't have access to air to dry your car with. Dry me crazy is the best I've ever used.

I hope this helps!

Self evident, is it not? New car, Xpel film (entire front end/hood/fenders, gills on back), 2 weeks of crud from the environment, now I need to get going.

I have had cars I really liked for a decade. Now I have a car I really love. I want to take care of her.

Love the gruff my friend, I can pay the best shop anywhere, but I wanted to make it personal.

You know I like you. I have read so many of your posts. But to be honest, no one knows everything, and people asking for help are not idiots.

I am a scientist, I genetically engineer cyanobacteria to make ethanol and/or diesel fuel. I understand chemical engineering on a level that is pharma FDA approved.

So spare me the crap.

I had Infiniti's the last decade. I have Christine now.

Sorry I posted here.

You're still missing the point.

You essentially asked how to detail in a single post. You have to ask targeted questions to get any sort of answers that would be actionable.

Don't get so defensive chief. Wasn't calling you an idiot. There's only two idiots on this forum and neither of them post in this thread.

Ok, I am sorry I got a bit flamed.

Look, it's a new car, and to be fair, it's my new Camaro.

I did not even have any car cleaning/etc products at home, never had to.

But I want to, sounds silly but I want to care for the car. Please see my posts on the search. It's been tough with the pollen and I had NO IDEA trees could exude so much crap???!!

Just need help. I want to make it right.
