I just dropped $150 on a gallon of Menzerna SIP, $50 on 32 ounces of Menzerna 106ff, and $28 on 32 oz of Menzerna Power Gloss compound from Autogeek.
God knows what all else I bought from ADS
I got an order last week that took 3 big boxes to deliver, one with 4 boxes last week, and 2 weeks before that another 4 box order.
I've literally spent just shy of $2,000 on detailing supplies in the last month alone
The one thing I haven't done yet is drop serious coin on a high-end wax or sealant, just using Meg's #21 2.0 for now. I really can't justify that much coin for a step that IMO isn't as important as the polishing in terms of how the car looks for my clients. Of course, that could be because I haven't found a good enough wax/sealant yet? Shrug....

It takes people years to realize all the steps leading up to the wax actually matter more than the wax. You can spend $5 on a cheapo wax or $10k on royale, but the polishing/correcting stage is 1billion times more important. Try some p21s100% if you are looking for a great wax. IMO just as great as the $1k+ waxes, but runs about $50. Starting to become a favorite on many other forums, Ive got quite a large supply of samples they sent me so if anyone is interested send me a PM and I can send you some for free, just cover shipping.

I'll try to get some pictures up of my results, I started working for this company part time for some extra cash and finally got to see this stuff work, suprizingly its legit. My buddy had an 00 tundra and the paint had faded to look like a "flat white", that metal polish and a little elbow grease brought that paint back to look brand new

My latest order from ADS was 1/2 boat stuff and 1/2 truck stuff. #56 Pure Marine Wax, #46 Marine Polish, #83, Blue clay, and some microfibers.
The Pinnacle? Eh... Looks good, but the durability is lacking IMO. And yes, I own a whole jar of it. Maybe if I layered the coats it'd last longer. Who knows. I'm about to do a total detail of my truck so I'll let ya know. But it'll be tough choosing if I should use Natty's Red or Pinnacle.

On sale, and I know I will use them so I might as well save the money then. (That's my excuse anyways). Actually since I took those pictures a few days ago, I have finished some products off. Even a simple washing takes me about 2-3 hours, and I make sure everything gets cleaned and dressed, etc. I just spent the last three, yes three, days cleaning my truck. I think I am good to go for another couple of weeks. Next up is my car.

What is that machine? It looks like a vacuum but I can't see the writing on it all that well
I'm waiting on my small order from Autogeek today. I'm bought those 530 Cobra MF towels. Once I give them a try this weekend I will give you some feedback on them.
