Several places - for the PC start up Kit, ShowroomFX has a good deal.

www.autogeek.net for a ton of things.

www.autodetailingsolutions.net for the hard to get/bulk supply items, such as samplers of Megs APC, etc.

There are tons of sites out there for Automobile detailing, Steve has been more than generous with his advise and sponsorship of this forum.

everyone has theyre own system. mine is:

1. wolfgang swirl remover 3.0
2. wolfgang finishing glaze 3.0
3. wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant. wait about 45 min before buffing off.
then let sit for 12 hours.
4 pinnacle souveran liquid wax. 3 layers waiting 24 hours in between layers.
