clay bar lube?
and, what is going to be used to clean the engine bay?

I have Adams detail spray that I can use for clay lube. This isn't all I have for detailing this is just the new purchase and DA PC

Here is some of my other stuff

I usually just uses soap and water on the engine bay, spray detail and VRT

The car isn't driven a ton and kept pretty clean under the hood

I also need to figure out a good way to store my microfibers

I'm tight in floor space since I'm in a duplex and only have a 20x10 garage. But I have wall space.

IDK TOO much about CG or Poor boys products since I pretty much use Adam's stuff, and I use the Nanoskin products instead of clay. I DO know your "stash" looks really nice :banana:

This is my collection:

The one thing that is not shown, but I can recommend for your MF towels is one of those large "tupperware" storage containers from Walmart. You can get a large Lxw one that is only 6-8" deep. They have locking lids.
Similar to this:

That way you can keep in out in the tucked away, OR out in the open w/o worrying about dust or dirt.

GOOD LUCK and welcome to Show and Shine!

Well I got everything put away, I still need to get a set of stackable drawers for my microfibers and pads. I'm just so tight on space in my little garage I'll have to do some reorganizing and some overhead storage

I think I can make room under my workbench for a 3 drawer container to free up some room in my cabinet


I was going to start my practice today since my team has a bye until I was told the wife planned a anniversary brunch (don't worry I didn't forget) even though it's the 8th. So next week it is
