Got my supplies!

Finally got all my supplies. Took advantage of Detailers Paradise's weekend sale and picked up all this stuff. Gonna give Hailey a good wash and wax once it stops raining here in NJ so she will be ready for winter!

I see the cork in the background. Were you celebrating with a bottle of wine?

The wine was from dinner.
I need it to stop raining in NJ so i can have the dealer to a a free car wash, then i can bring her home to use all the fun stuff i bought.
Can anyone recommend a place to buy some lint free waffle rags to take off the wax once it has set?

Noooo don't take her to the dealer for a wash!! You bought Mystique, why wouldn't you just wash her yourself? Dealer car wash = Dealer-installed swirls = 
For wax removal I use Detailers Paradise's Monster Fluffies. They're soft and plush and just lovely.
Waffle towels are used for drying after a wash. My waffles are the Meguiars ones purchased from Autozone though DP has their own waffles as well. I have one but I haven't gotten around to using it since my two Meguiars waffles are holding up just fine.

I agree - you have Mystique, use it! The dealer wash will just swirl your paint up.
Waffle weaves are for drying...you want something softer for removing wax - either Monster Fluffies or the dual-sided one DP sells (the name escapes me at the moment) are perfect for wax removal.
