So I have around $150 in Amazon giftcards that I need to spend. I would like to get stuff for the car so any recommendations? I was thinking some car washing stuff since I really need to upgrade the stuff I have.

If I were to guess Id say the car will arrive about 2 weeks after its build date.

As far as car wash supplies.....I would get a nice waffle weave MF drying towel ( cobra guzzler or similar), some good shampoo (meguiars gold class is good stuff and way cheaper than the specialty stuff from chemical guys, poorboys, etc), a nice microfiber wash mitt ( detailed image has some decent ones for a reasonable amount. Read the reviews before you buy. There is a big difference between a crap one and a good one), a nice bucket with grit guard, some QD spray, a pack of name brand microfiber towels, and maybe a nice firehouse nozzle.

You can spend silly amounts of money on car care products and still introduce swirls, scratches, micromarring if you have the wrong technique. You do need decent supplies but no need to go overboard IMO. Read some reviews, get some supplies, and most importantly use common sense when it comes to anything that touches your cars paint.

I think any of the name brand MF towels are probably ok. The generic ones you get from Walmart are not. I always add a pack to my orders from detailing websites. Ive had good luck with the yellow ones from meguiars. They come in 3 packs for $6-$7.

You can practice for your baby to be delivered by washing all the salt off of my car. :mad:

Hey Nick, did it take a couple days for that tpms error to appear? I just put my stock rims back on with brand new sensors and never synced them. I've been driving it all day and no error.
