..or wherever you keep your detailing equipment.
For wax I have some Z1 that I'm not sure I'll ever use since ZFX just makes life so much easier, then I have some Z2 for regular wax jobs, Z5 for waxing the cars I buy and sell (swirl marks), and also some NuFinish for waxing cars with really bad swirl marks (doesn't shine as well as Z5 but does better at getting scratches and swirl marks out), and then finally some Mother's cleaner wax.
For claybars I have mothers and zaino claybars although my Zaino bar has definitely seen better days.
For rubber/tire treatment I have the classic armor-all which I use on the cheaper/older of the cars we buy and sell since most people don't care about that stuff... then I have 303 protectant and Meguires Endurance (non high gloss) for my car.
For cleaning substances I have simple green, 303 cleaner, armor all plastic cleaner.
For leather care products I have Zaino leather cleaner and conditioner for monthly use, and then have leatherique's full lineup of cleaner, conditioner, crack filler, and even dye for complete overhauls but I just got that in so I have yet to try it out.
For plastic polishing I have plexus and zaino plastic magic (still haven't tried the zaino yet since I'm so happy with plexus)
For car wash I have palmolive for stripping wax, zaino car wash, and Meguire's Gold class.
For metal polishes I have Mother's chrome polish, Mother's mag/alloy polish, and turtle wax chrome polish (the the turtle wax is much easier to use... it doesn't really require buffing at all and looks 85% as good, but the Mother's goes that extra step if you want to put the effort into it)
For fragrance I use Ozonium to get out the stronger smells, then use Fabreeze to freshen things up, then sometimes finish up with a car fragrance who's brand eludes me at the moment but it's sold in most walmarts, it's a red/orange liquid and its new car smell and according to my nose and the nose of all others who have smelled it so far, it's the only fragrance that actually smells like a new car!
For cloths I have microfiber elite towels for cleaning, regular genuine chamois for drying, and a microfiber mit.
For carpets I have a Bissell Protech Proheat that cleans very well and with spot removers will get out any stain, then has a built-in 303 dispenser that distributes 303 as it cleans
For glass I have Stoner's invisible glass cleaner and use microfiber towels or newspaper to clean, and then follow up with Zaino to increase the water sheeting during storms
For a vacuum I have a wet/dry shop vac from home depot (I think it's their in-house brand) around 4-5 horsepower with plenty of attachments.
And for paint touch-ups I have a couple of auto-art paint touchup pens.
So what does your lineup look like?:cool:
