Do you have links to all the products you use. I thought you would have links in the description of each video but you do not. I have light scratches all over and so the polish stuff is what I mostly need.

Just wanted to thank you for the great videos. While i haven't had a chance to dial my car in to the level that you did, i did spend the day today cleaning the wheel wells, wheels, wash, dry and clay bar as per your videos, i am prepping the car for winter storage before she gets the car cover put on and goes into hibernation.

Very thorough explanations and instructions. Welcome to the forums.

The car looks amazing and your little ones are adorable! Thank you for going through every step in so much detail and providing all the info on the products you like on your website. I believe the CG Citrus wash you use was replaced by the Citrus Wash and Gloss. I'm planning on getting a iron remover for the next time i strip/clay my car after watching your video.

It's all listed under the Detailing Gear section of his website

As a few others have said, I compiled a list at www.obsessedgarage.com/gear/detailing-gear.

But I'm working on a list tonight of all the gear I used specifically for these videos and will do a follow-up with links for everyone.

Glad I can help! The Journals of my other cars in the past few years have connected me to more amazing people that I've helped and have helped me in our crazy car guy journeys than I could count. I'm so fortunate to be able to live in FL and get to drive my cars all year round.

Wash and Gloss is very different. The "Gloss" part adds something to the surface of the paint that I don't want. From what others have told me, Detailed Image still has some old stock of Citrus Red.

Thank you, that is exactly what I was hoping for. My car is exactly the same color combo, I am so happy you are taking the time for this. I will keep my stripes though, it looks too awesome. Just for shows I will try my best to clean them, but from far away they look fine.

Great videos! my biggest concern is wheel cleaning, I see you used a wonderful blue brush tool, can I get the link for it? also my other question is where the car is sitting, how can I clean the dish behind the caliper?

They forgot to put my cover in the car, so I should have mine in a few days. I've used a cover on all of my cars, but I only put it on the car just after a wash. If you put it on a dirty car, even just a drive around the block, you're bound to scratch the paint at some point. I'm taking some photos and videos of mine and post it here once I get it.
Yes I was sure to only put it on after I washed and sealed the paint and before it had time to get dusty. I even blew off the surface with compressed air to make sure it was clean. I didn't put as much time into mine as you did but that is only because I wasn't educated enough in the proper methods and techniques. I will strip the sealant off in the spring and do as much of the detail work from your videos as possible.
