Looks great man! A good mix of the Chemical Guys Jetseal 109, 303 Aerospace Protectant, vinyl gloves, and the Griot's Garage microfiber underneath! It looks very similar to the products on the shelf in my garage. This should make for a shiny, happy Bimmer.

It's perfect, because I can wheel it out when I wash the car and have all my product right there. Then when I pull into the garage to wax or polish I can wheel it back in and have all my products right there as well. I just wish the cart had a wheel lock on it to keep it from rolling.

Hey Jeremiah,

I would love to have all of those good detailing products. I was going to order some stuff from Detailed Image today but, when my order reached $100, I had to step away. There is so much stuff I need but I don't have the money. I really want to work out all of the scuffs in the clear coat. It comes down to time and money. Two things that are scarce around me.

Updated my first post with the list of products and the completed cart.

I have a serious problem and I HAVE TO STOP!!! haa so far since I started getting these products, I have been doing stuff to the car to keep it clean. It's a sickness now. Everytime I am bored at home I go and do something to the car. haaa dang I gotta stop.

Why do you feel you must stop. Just give into it. Its easier. The car is an extension of you. Period.

Mmmmm....

I would say use a wheel chock... but I bet that would get in the way... and probably wouldn't stop the car from coming around on itself.

You can go to a website like Grainger.com... and pick up wheels with brakes...

Or you can get a brake kit and add brakes to your casters...

It smells good while you wash and tastes equally delicious. Thumbs up all around. A couple hours later when you sittin on the toilet.....meh, not so much fun.
