What's your wash setup? Show it off here!

So what chemicals and tools are you using? What steps are you taking to get your baby to shine? I'm looking at buying new supplies since I haven't owned something worth paying out for good chemicals in a while. Show me what you got!

You resume exactly or close to of what I'm using to wash my car! Exhaust I use foam cannon with a secret degrease soap before washing.. Then iron x, clay bar. And I finish every polish with my Portercable after using the makita.

And for wax, using the chemical guy Pete #53 special edition.. LOVE IT!!

Can't wait to detail the car on spring.. If snow could just run away!!! grrr!! Got too much part to install in the garage to install... Wheel, coilover, trunk lip, exhaust, and few goodies!!

I'm jealous of your collections, guys.

I've got:

Microfiber Madness wash mitt
Chemical Guys Glossworkz shampoo
Some two dirty buckets
Dodo Juice drying towel
Poorboys wheel sealant
empty bottles of Autoglym polish and wax
a Bosch pressure washer that I got last week and haven't used yet!

Hopefully I'll buy some more products this year. I really need something for the interior, wheels and proper polishing and waxing.
