So basically my car is looking poor right now I want it to shine, only thing I own right now is Nu Polish liquid. but that will be the last step. so what products should I buy to get my car shiny?

get some stuff for a car wash.

lambswool mitt
2 buckets with grit guards
car soap
waffle weave towel.
brushes for your wheels.

what's your budget?

for that, what i listed is what you should get.

when you get a bigger budget you'll want claybar, sealants, paint cleaners, etc.

Considering your budget I'd suggest the following:

DI Packages Washing and Drying Basic Kit
Optimum (OPT) Poli-Seal

The washing and drying kit will help you wash and dry safely with top quality products. If you have some extra money the DI Packages DI Clay Bar and Clay Lube Combo is a great choice. Next use the Optimum Poli-Seal to clean, shine and protect the paint all in one step. It's an outstanding value and again a top quality product. You can save 10% off on individual products with the discount code 10offCL, but it does not apply to the kits I listed. If you have any other questions please let me know.

would you guys say the blue sponge is better than the sheep mit? or the other way?

Greg@DI

I guess it depends on how you define "better". The Lake Country Blue Grout Sponge is far more durable, costs less and it holds a ton of shampoo. The Sheepskin Wash Mitt is arguably safer so that is the main reason some people prefer this option. The only downside to the mitts is they are a natural material and their durability varies more and can break down more quickly. Hopefully this info helps you make an informed decision.

hmm ive been really hesitant on using any type of sponge since i have that fear of causing more swirls. when i wash it usually goes like this

Let car cool down under shade
Foam cannon whole car
Pressure wash
Foam cannon whole car again
Use MF Towel folded in 4s + bucket of water + car soap and start from the top
sqeeze towel away from the bucket
wet towel again and repeat every half panel.
Pressure wash
Water dry
dry with waffle towel
Quick wax when im in the mood.

usually takes and hour or so. would using the sponge help me in this process since it holds more soap?
