My car isn't ready for Waterfest, but at least my detailing supplies are up to par...
Waterfest is about 3 weeks away, so every spare moment is once again crunch time to get last minute modding done. Lot's to do under the hood that's arriving late.
I'll detail the car in two stages over 2 weeks (interior/wash/clay/polish the first, wash, polish/wax the second). Through gracious donations from Blip (We'll miss you Chris, have a great time in Detriot) and about $150 from <a href="http://www.carcareonline.com">CarCareOnline</a> I've revitalized my detail selection, which had dwindled from folks using stuff freely at detail days. Lot's of empty bottles, etc.
Here's the collection now, not shown are the wash buckets, terry cloth towels, microfiber towels, wash mitts, etc. Everything fits snugly into a big Audi/VW plastic parts crate. Notable supplies include some serious waxes, some for regular use (One Grand Blitz) and some for shows only (Zymol <a href="http://zymol.com/shop/item.asp?PID=1379&scID=25">Destiny</a> and <a href="http://zymol.com/shop/item.asp?PID=1370&scID=25">Carbon</a>)
<b>R.</b>
P.S. In the background you can see one of the projects that's currently progressing, more on that later.

Well, in this case I have about $700 in free wax I want to try out :-)
That and I'll be driving from VA -> Long Island -> NJ -> VA that weekend, so the protection is helpful.
