Default Detailing supplies thread (pics optional)

Just thought I'd start a thread showcasing our tools and detailing supplies we use to maintain and shine our fine Lexus rides. Feel free to include a list of what you currently have, your favorites, and a picture of them if you have one.

Here's mine:



As you can see, this is what happens when you own a BLACK car

I just recently received 2 bottles of Lexol cleaner and conditioner in wipe form, Mother's Sealer & Glaze, and Mother's Showtime Instant Detailer (all purchased from Autogeek.net). I'm hoping the Lexol products will soon replace my Meguiar's Leather Cleaner & Conditioner bottle, and I trust Mother's products will do a top-end job in rounding out the quality shine on my car.

I've always favored Meguiar's Quik Detailer, just a great quality product for spot cleanings I have the spare Meguiar's QD bottle, labeled as "50/50 SOL'N", filled with a 50/50 mix of alcohol and water (great for safely cleaning bird droppings and other acidics found on the car's body).

The 2 Autovisuals paint pens (located in front of the 3M Swirl Mark Remover) supplement my touch-up jobs, especially for the hood which receives a new paint chip almost every other week. I may have to resort to re-spraying the hood and rear bumper in the future, but in the meantime they're great touch-up paint tools

NXT Tech Wash
Gold Class Wash
Quik Clay Detailing System
Quik Detailer
