I am thinking of doing a few large orders before spring time rolls around and I wanted to see if anyone was interested in anything detailing related.

Here are the main group buy items I was thinking of:
- Microfiber http://www.stocktowelsnow.com/
- Wheel Cleaner (Sonax Full Effect)
- Fallout Remover (Iron X, Ect.)

Here are my thoughts on the Wheel Cleaner and Fallout Remover. I plan to buy large quantities (5+L Containers) and then break it down into smaller containers and pass the savings onto you. For example 5L of wheel cleaner is approximate $100 ($10 per 500ml) verse $18 per 500ml if bought separately.

If there is enough interest I might offer a basic No Rinse Wash kit to keep your ride clean while minimizing damage to your paints clear coat. The kit would include Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine, 12 microfibers and a 5 gallon bucket.

If you are interested in a specific product just post below.

The cutoff is the end of March

  • 3 Blue Waffle Weave Towel
  • 2 Medium Ultra Plush Towel

If you could revise your post with quantities and which microfiber you are interested in that would be beneficial.

I can also recommend what I like based on your intended use. (Example: Which microfibers would work for a rinseless or waterless wash)

The kit would essentially be at cost of bulk microfiber and breaking down gallon jugs into smaller bottles. Essentially I won't make a dime on it.

What size waffle is good for drying?  I'll get a handful of those.. is half a dozen enough to dry a larger car like the newer Foresters?

With decent paint protection that sheets well I can usually blow dry the car to 90% and then I use 1 XL waffle.

If the vehicle has no paint protection or I am prepping the vehicle for a correction I usually need 2 XL waffles.

I use both the XL microfiber and XL waffle with great success.

Cool, I'll get 4 XL waffles, 3 glass cleaning towels, and an MTM 1L cannon (if you're ordering from OldTown) please.

I'll pick them up with the rest of my stuff.. ;)  Really.

I didn't get a ton of interest but I still make orders during the year. When I make an order I can throw some stuff in and you save the shipping. I am waiting for a new polisher to come in stock.

I am going to order the microfiber towels in the next week or so. I got enough people interested to make shipping worthwhile.

Right now there are 5 of us. I will send everyone an email to confirm the order.
