What Products to order? v. Wash, Clay, Wax & Wheels/Tires

Hello guys!

I wash my TL every week but without waxing it it gets dirty real fast. I need to order some car care products online on excel detail's website and I need your advice.

What do I need to order for washing, claying, waxing, and I would also like to order some wheel/tire sealants. Please keep in mind that I'm college student and can't afford a FORTUNE on those products... I would like the best bang for the back... up to $75 or so

yea, duragloss would be a good line.

look into mixing and matching certain DP products as well, they tend to be a lighter hit on the wallent while still packing a hard punch. As a few, the DP MaxWax and the clay bar/lubricant will be a smart buy for you.

What do you guys think about:

Eurow 22pc Auto Detailing Kit With Mothers® Polishes and Waxes

A lot of products for $80


How are Mother's products compared to DP?

This is what I've added to the shopping cart on autogeek.net and i'm debating if i should go with this or mothers products at costco.

for a decent start and not breaking the bank, i would go with:

--duragloss 901 ccw ...car wash
--duragloss 105 tpp ...protective sealant
--duragloss 951 aw ...topper/protective booster after each wash
--ONR (use it diluted as your quick detail spray...very economical that way)
--some decent microfiber towels and applicators of your choice
--clay (clay magic is a decent inexpensive option)

patrick can help you out with the details!
