Cleaning supplies

My G37 is a few days old. It has rained hard here the last couple of days.

I was looking into some supplies, just wanted to know if this is what I need and is it good stuff to get or is other products recommended in place?

Poorboy's World Bold N bright
Poorboy's World Wheel Sealant
Menzerna Power Lock Polymer Sealant
Poorboy's World Natty's Blue Paste Wax
Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss
Microfiber Waffle Weave Drying Towel
Sheepskin Wash Mitt
Poorboy's World Natural Look
and some applicators and detail brush.

Amy I missing anything or ordering too much?

Aye, I've been researching all day on this forum. All the items I listed, I got from DI. I also forgot to mention the DI clay combo.

That looks like a pretty good list, I have used everything you have listed except for the new Menzerna Power Lock sealant (the FMJ is great though). All of it is quality stuff. I personally prefer a microfiber chenille wash mitt over the sheepskin - they're more expensive and they don't seem to last very long for me. You also may need a few more microfiber towels for product removal and general wipe down besides the waffle weave drying towel.

Be sure to post pics when you get finished.

Unless you are touching it with really filthy or sticky hands, a damp soft microfiber cloth should do it.

I consider myself clean but I have very oily skin.

You can get a screen cleaner from Best Buy or a computer store that's made to clean it.

I just avoid touching the screen totally since there really isn't a need. I'm not a big touch screen fan.

^ It's good to let the sealant cure for 24 hours before you apply the Natty's blue. FMJ/Natty's Blue will look awesome on your BO G.

Second that. I have a LCD screen cleaner I also use for my TV and computer monitors from Amazon.com. The one I use is called Monster, but they are mostly the same -- a very light, subtle alcohol free non-abrasive cleaner. Along with a microfiber cloth.

I have Monster clean. I wasn't sure if it was safe to use with the touchscreens.

Hehe Whiddles,

Didn't order yet, going to order it today or early Wed. Yeah it can be expensive. Just sucks having to pay NY sales tax.

You should get a gallon of meguiar's d103 degreaser for bugs or wheels. dilute it 1:10. and oh man, you're gonna love the PBW bold n' bright, so make sure you get the 32oz bottle, Ive tried many other tire shines but I always go back to it.
