    I bought my new car 2012 gti in october, before that i always liked a clean car, but it wasnt anything more than bucket sponge soap and then a paste wax/polish... maybe my collection was 5 off the shelf items

    I always followed links from other forums to detailing ones like this and always amazed by the work, i decided to give it a go and since october my collection keeps growing and growing lol... Still a bunch of stuff on order or not pictured

    Following recommendations of lots of people for products and trying them out to find the ones that i like best

    You have some great stuff in there, I'm a big fan of meguiar's products, especially endurance tire dressing.

    Wondering how you like that Big Red seat? I had a chance to get one at Big Lots for $19 but decided not to, then changed my mind but when I went back it was gone.

    I got it online for like $20 or so... its kinda awkward for putting anything besides like rags under it... but overall rolls really nice and is comfortable. I tried polishes and stuff but rolling on my textured driveway and its not a "deep" tray stuff just fell over.

    Lol beats sitting on a bucket :p

    ehh kinda, not really. I added APR Carbonio intake, lowered it on HR Sports (10 and 15mm spaces to for the wheels to look flush), euro switch, H8 Hid fog kit. Other than that its stock... for now
