Gallon Nut

I guess I'm officially a detailing nut - I just went into the garage and looked at my "gallon shelf":

Prima Slick
Prima Hydro
Prima Clarity
P21S Gel Wheel Cleaner (five-liter container, actually)
Griot's Car Wash Soap
Griot's Wheel Cleaner
Griot's Interior Cleaner
Griot's Rubber Cleaner
Griot's Rubber/Vinyl Dressing
Griot's Engine Cleaner
Griot's Speedshine

I just keep telling myself I'm still saving money over having the car professionally detailed...

Better build a little Ark for your MINI in case they all rupture at the same time.

At least among the amateurs, perhaps - I bet Richard's shelves look like a detailing-supply shop!

DP should put together a LA's package "lazy-asser's" package:

1) hydro
2) waffle weave

the lazy asser will take their car to a touchless wash and run it
through. then do a quick wipe down "LA's" style.

Love the 'LA' idea!

... and that'll be me the next few washes I'm sure, after spending 5 hrs today stripping wax, claying, polishing and waxing.

On topic, it looks like I'm way behind in the gallon club with only Clarity, Slick, Hydro and Mystique. And oh yeah, M80 SpeedGlaze because Richard was out of the smaller size.
