two washes?!? lol (before and after clay) or is this a typo?...but otherwise that seems like a good list..never heard of pinnacle either so when i use up all of my products, i might be referring to this list depending on other's reviews and whatnot so thanks!

Everything you listed totaled to $152.62 before any kind of shipping. You'll spend a little more on the Adam's, 1Z, and Menzerna stuff but it works very well. I have ordered over $350 worth of stuff from DD.com and I'm about to order $300 more. I'm detailing for money this summer and I have already made my money back 5x over. I would recommend ordering from Detailersdomain.com. Phil is awesome and very helpful. Here would be my recommendations to replace what you have listed above:

Wash:

Swirl/Scratch Remover: (by hand)

No its not a typo. I've heard the two wash thing before but I just wanted to double check it by makeing this list.

Def. order from detailersdomain.com. It is a great place with good prices
Also, why do it all by hand when you can do a better job with a PC or equiv? (not to mention it takes half time time)

I dont wanna spend the money on one because im gonna be shelling out so much cash on the product alone.

Simply because I have never heard of Pinnacle and I know that Adam's Buttery Wax and Menzerna FMJ are really awesome products. The Adam's wax is good if you're sticking to hand application only, it's easier to work with. If you want a REALLY good wax, you'll put some serious money into it. For example, Swissvax has a killer lineup that increases in cost as the percentage of pure Brazillian white carnauba increases.

Swissvax Lineup:
Swissvax Onyx - 30%
http://www.detailersdomain.com/index...ROD&ProdID=111
Swissvax Saphir - >40%
http://www.detailersdomain.com/index...ROD&ProdID=112
Swissvax Concorso - 51%
http://www.detailersdomain.com/index...ROD&ProdID=113
Swissvax Mystery - 55%
http://www.detailersdomain.com/index...ROD&ProdID=115
Swissvax Divine - >60%
http://www.detailersdomain.com/index...ROD&ProdID=230

They even make waxes that are specific to paint types on most Euro cars, Porches, Italian cars, Japanese cars, etc.

If its not too bad you can use a really fine grade steel wool. They do have a glass buffer, it's kinda like a sponge.

#0000 steel wool, glass polish, vinegar/newpaper all should work.

if its really bad i pull out the buffer and some compound, works great.
