Default Gathering info for detailing supplies groupbuy

My supplier finally got back to me, so it's time for some group buys.

I'd like to know what products people are particularly interested in, so I can finalize a few group buys and post them.

So go ahead and tell me what you need.....for example:

- Porter + polishers.

- Klasse & Carnauba wax package.

- Washing mitts & Sonus soap.

Possibilities are endless.

damn should have waited, just dropped a buck-50 for my stuff from autogeek. Oh well I could always use different products to compare, I'll go with microfibre towels, wash mits, wheels brushes...Basicaly new cleaning tools. A new car wash soap would be nice too since i'm almost out of my current bottle.

Almost forgot, I need wheel cleaner too

I would love to try out some Menzerna products if you could do a group buy on those. If you could get Menzerna Final Polish II, Finishing Touch Glaze, Full Molecular Jacket, Auot Shampoo, and High Gloss Acrylic Shield.

Glad to see this thread got enough traffic.

The products are from http://www.autopia-carcare.com, but if you order using the link in my signature and the coupons I will give you, you'll save 15% or get free shipping over orders costing $75 or more.

I see there is alot of interest in the Porter, polishes, wheels cleaning products and a few other items, so I will discuss all of that with the supplier.

Stay tuned folks!

There are a few different packages as far as the Porter, I believe almost all of them include 1 backing plate and sometimes more as well as the pads.

I'll see if I can come up with this package and include the polishes as well.


Is anyone interested in a P21S Carnauba wax + Klasse + Polish package??

Again, I'm just trying to come up with packages according to what people would like.

YOU (fellow STiers on this board) are the boss! so let me know if you'd like anything else. All the info from this thread was passed to the supplier.

i am up for anything! Really would like to start to know how to detail my car better and i wanna only use the best products for my baby... Would you be able to just let me know what the Klasse is (soap? detailer?) and whats in the polish package?

btw: i would need probably everything to start up my kit. What I do have so far is: Wash mit, soap, "armoral". Need a good wheel cleaner too if possible. I also have a buffer (still learning how to use it right). I just want products to make my car mirror finish and take out all the swirls.

Klasse is a German company. They make a popular AIO(All-in-one) polish. It cleans well but cant remove swirls, it does a great job on oxidation though. Along with that they make a popular Sealant(like a wax, but usually lasts longer) called Sealant Glaze. It has a reputation to last really long and make any color car look great and make metallic flake pop. It can be a little tricky to use though. AIO should be used before SG for best results. Hope that helps
