And with the pinnacle stuff, as soon as I can buy their new latest and greatest, they come out with something better a week later. As soon as my advanced polish came in, they released the xmt line. I ordered some last week because it sounds like what my car needs (fine swirls/scratches that can only been seen in direct sunlight) so I had to get the lot. Autogeek.net had a good package going on with most of the xmt products and a good selections of CCS pads, so I couldn't resist. I'm sure the advanced XMT uber line isn't far off now

I ended up not having enough space in my garage for a cart so I have a shelf with my detailing stuff. Not near as much as most of you have.

No cart.
Hydro
Slick
2 large microfiber detailing towels
6 small microfiber detailing towels
4 small microfiber glass cleaning towels
Bunch of shop rags for the brake dust
"Mr. Clean" washing nozzle, (because it filters the hard Texas water I rinse with) but I use any quality, mild car washing soap in it.
