I'm keen to maintain my cars appearance, so i've looked into a good starting point (with a little help from a valuable member) for quality products.
So far what i've come up with is as follows. Any suggestions or experiences are welcome.


It's looking like it will cost about $300, not a bad price for a pretty good set up.
Plus a Gerni and some sweet ass buckets.

That's pretty good for a starter kit, not that I'm experienced or anyhing but I spent around $400 on my first round of car cleaning gear (not including the gerni) and it's all treated me well so far :)

Don't bother with the wheel brush, I bought the exact same one and found it to be pretty useless. There aren't enough bristles and they aren't rigid enough.

I've got this brush and I love it, except for when I somehow got the tip lodged between a brake line :/

It cleans good and is safe as it has the plastic edge everywhere possible. The only bad thing is when you pull the brush out it flicks all the grime into your face :(

Yeh and all over your clothes, I have a shirt I use specifically for washing my car because of how dirty I get when I clean the wheels :P
