Preparing my first order of Adam's Polishes products for my new 2012 Mustang in Kona Blue Metallic. This will be my 2nd new car I've purchased. Unlike my first new car, a 2002 Hyundai Elantra GT Silver back when I was 21, this Mustang needs to be treated right.
So here's my selection for a well rounded outside care, starting with 2-bucket wash with caddies, detail spray, hand polish, clay bar, hand glaze, and Americana Wax. Complete with 2 wash pads, 2 drying towels and fire hose nozzle.
1 - Bucket Kit:
Two Buckets,
Grit Guards
Caddies
Connecting Plate
2 - Car Wash Trio:
16oz Shampoo
Microfiber Drying Towel
Car Wash Pad
3 - Car Wash Trio (2nd Trio for double the pad and towel):
16oz Shampoo
Microfiber Drying Towel
Car Wash Pad
4 - Premium Shine Kit:
Brilliant Glaze 16oz
Americana Car Wax
Double Soft Microfiber Towel
Two Hex Grip Wax Applicators
6 - Detail Clay and Spray kit:
Detail Spray
Detail Clay Bar
7 - Loose Ends:
Fire hose car wash nozzle (Save cost on Valve? $15 more)
Total about $365 before coupon
Instead of just ordering the 2-Bucket Wash Kit as planned, I did a round-about method of kits to purchase the bucket kit with caddies and connect plate. I think I save $40+ this way, but I end up with two 16oz of Shampoo bottles with ordering two wash trios instead of the 1 Gallon you get in the 2-bucket wash kit.
Never thought I'd spend this much on cleaning products, but I don't want to cut corners or trust it to a local detailer that could cost nearly as much as these products that will last for a while. I already see the start of swirls and long scratches in direct sunlight from just the Ford dealer's detailing. And with a dark metallic blue, that's the last thing I want to see.
Who knew washing a car could seem like fun. Maybe the reward is so much nicer on a car like this, with metallic paint, compared to my old Hyundai with silver paint.
Any suggestions? Like, is a hand polish bottle needed if you get the brilliant glaze?
