Ask a Professional Detailer
If you were to go ULTRA budget on a kit, what products are ok to buy off the shelf at like auto zone, advanced, etc and add good name brand products like wax, sealants,etc? For instance, is it ok to use Blue Coral car wash soap, house microfiber mitts and waffle weave towels, etc. Only thing I wouldn't skimp on would be the wax.

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
I agree a lot of it is marketing. He takes a lot of the confusion and stress out of paint correction if a person is wanting to do it and not spend endless hours on the internet searching for what works and what doesn't.
The man is pretty damn smart. I haven't seen anyone else do what he does.
That thread is for polished and cleared wheels. Thanks for the link in though! That thread should be a sticky....so many people destroy polished/cleared wheels with metal polish.
Unless he had his done custom, Fikse wheels are uncoated. Try Chemical Guys Metal Shine with microfiber towel.

Doh! I didn't realize fikse wheels were uncoated.
Still, I use that write up all the time on cleared wheels with fantastic results. They've gotten even nice now that I have a rotary. Great resource for the tech community.
Speaking of rotary, what are your thoughts on the Makita 9227 ? Thats the tool I bought and maybe it's just the fact that I've never owned a rotary, but this thing feels like a work of art!
Agreed. ONR V3 is probably my favorite. I'm also a huge fan of Ultima Waterless Wash + diluted down to QD strength. It's a fantastic product, and it's a concentrated formula so you get quite a bit of product for the money.
