Has anyone used Vroom products from Target? Specifically Micofiber or wool mitts?

New TL as of last week- looking for the first wash / seal etc as soon as it creeps above freezing...


Thinking Megs Wash- and ordering some Klasse AIO / SG....

Allright- I just put in an order for Gold Class Shampoo- Klassee AIO, Klassee SG from AutoGeek... and Terry Towels from Autopia... I have the absorber for drying... and 303 for the interior... am I missing anything? Besides good weather?

I ordered supreme MF towels from exceldetail.com and they were much better than the expensive ultra microfibre cloths that we get here from boutique vendors. The ultras cost $8.14 each, while supremes were $24.90 for 12 from exceldetail. The supremes are much more plush.

A Gritguard for your wash bucket and a mound of Microfiber towels. Do a web search for the Gritguard if you don't know what it is and Costco has packs of Microfiber towels that are adequate. I would buy some high quality Microfiber towels for your Last Step Protectant (wax).

Ok... still reading and have a question.... do I need both the AIO and the SG? My TL is one week old... Assume I don't need to polish anything at this point...

I would recommend using both, hence the name Klasse Twins. AIO is basically a pre-wax cleaner and the other is a sealant. I've also used a 'nuba on top of AIO, but the sealant gives much more longevity and duarability over a 'nuba. You can opt to use a nuba over the sealant also. If your paint is immaculate (no swirls) you can forego using a polish. The one other thing I would do is clay the surface to remove imbedded particles such as brake & rail dust. The reason I say that is you don't know how long the vehicle has been sitting prior to it's sale and I doubt that the dealership will perform a full detail.

Here's some reference threads for you:

There are other items needed but may not neccessarily fall into your scheme of things. Here are a few suggestions:
1. Leather Cleaner/Conditioner (Seats - an option to the cleaner is Woolite 5:1 mix but you would still need a conditioner).
2. Wheel/Tire Cleaner
3. Tire Dressing (you can use 303)
4. Window Cleaner
5. MF Towels (buffing, product removal)
6. Applicators (Foam, MF)

The absorber is okay, but my preference for drying is MFWW towels. They are available at a number of online detailing supply sites.

I bought the microfiber wash mitt from vroom, it's okay, nothing to write home about

So I take it then that the AIO doesn't really act as a polish? The website I purchased from listed it as such-

Hoping that the AIO will at as a deap cleaner, and strip whatever wax the dealer applied, without applying any abrasive quality.

Thanks for the suggestions! We have snow today- hopefully we will warm up soon- and I can put the advice to work.

AIO removes oxidation, old wax, and road film chemically rather than abrasively categorizing it more of a cleaner than a polish. Polishes in general contain abrasives and will correct or remove surface imperfections such as swirls and minor scratches. I believe you'll be more than satisfied with AIO and combined it with SG, they make a great combo. When you star seeing swirls, then it's time to use a polish.
