No detailing stuff yet ( something to do for nxt 2.5 months!)

The garage may have "needed it" but the new TT or TTS is what made you do it right?

Yeah I bought it, I ended up going to chemical guys in Mississauga and bought a bunch of stuff.

I ended up spending about $1K on detailing product, towels, storage, accessories, ect.
I sure hope I like detailing!

Luckily my dad has a pressure washer and Porter Cable 7424XP I can borrow otherwise the expenses could have really got out of hand.

I have a double door cabinet in my garage and I put 2 of these bins inside it for all my micro fiber towels and wash mitts. Organised each bin into a job (wash, dry, clay, polish, paint coat, glass). Not sure if these would help you.

I don't think I have to put anything cleaning product in the car (maybe just a microfiber towel) because I literally drive 6km to work and 6km home. So I'll always be close to all my detailing products. But I'll play it by ear and see if I need anything on hand.

Gave my towels their first wash prior to using and they are all hanging on a rack in the basement in front of our food shelf.... wife is not impressed. But we have a good laugh about it.

This car may have triggered OCD in me, I wasn't even this prepared for my son


Do you have all you accessories like wash buckets and grit guards?

I keep a bottle of dry shine or spot detailer in the back (under that strap on the left side) along with a microfibre cloth, a chamois for spot dying after the touchless wash and glass cleaner (also with own cloth). And in the glove box, a swiffer duster to swipe the dash along with a couple bird poop wipes (which I can't seem to find in the store anymore).

And while you are waiting...try to find what ship your car is on and track it to port.
