Help with gift

[Tim]

Ok, so my future former boss (he has accepted another job, hasn't started) just got his wife a 2014 ACADIA (because that's what she wanted )

 

He asked me what to do to take care of it. He hasn't cared about his car before. I mentioned claying, two buckets, etc.

 

What would you get him as a going away gift, as far as car care stuff? He will never get into polishing, a master blaster, or anything that hard-core. A 2 bucket wash is probably pushing it.

 

Edit: claying, not flaying

If he's only going to be interested in a two bucket wash, then just stick with the basics. Shampoo, glass cleaner, all propuse cleaner, detail spray, and maybe quick sealant or a little Americana. And of course, a few microfibers to get the job done. That's what I would do anyway

 

Edit: you flay your cars?

Yes, I flay my cars. It's an old Irish tradition dating back to the 1700s.

 

(I'll look for some all propuse cleaner)

I'd keep it even more basic for starters: 1 bucket and grit guard, mitt, soap, quick sealant, glass cleaner, drying towel, glass towels.

Tim,

go somewhat basic, but not overboard. If you have gallons, get some no name bottles, that will help reduce cost alot.

I suggest

Green wheel cleaner and one wheel woolie depending on rims.

APC, Shampoo, 1 pad, 2 buckets, 1 grit guard, glass cleaner and 2 glass towels. 1 waterless wash towel for door jambs, and 1 drying towel.

 

You are around the corner from me, If you want some spare towels or need a little product to fill a sprayer, let me know.

The Basic Car Care Kit fits the bill for someone who wants to take good care of their new vehicle, but hasn't totally fallen off the deep end like most of us here.

Thanks for the input everyone. I have a huge supply of excess chemicals and towels, so I just need a bucket and some apps! Now, if I can find the buckets on the site....
