Default AG Birthday Order

I've been reading as much as possible on what would be best for my berlina. So far I've came up with the following. Thanks to Mattfeet, Wanabe, and MikeyC for helping so far. I believe most this stuff below should last me a really long time. Am I missing anything of importance? Anything I should try to change? I have a couple questions at the bottom of the post. I'm getting the >$500 free shipping and 15%off birthday discount (on what qualifys).

Order thus far:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Drying
The Guzzler Waffle Weave by Cobra 16 x 24 (x3 discount)

Polishing Stuff
Duo Spur Wool & Foam Pad Cleaning Tool
The Edge Dual Action 6 Inch Kit
Porter Cable 7424 Polisher

Polishes
Menzerna Nano PolishPO 106
Menzerna Intensive Polish PO 91E

Sealant
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant Special (Menzerna Discount)

Wax
Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax

Tire Shine
DP Gloss Tire Gel

Other
Edge Assorted Foam Detailing Tips 10 Pack (for inside and wax in cracks)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I already have:
2 Grit Guards
2 Buckets
2 Lambswool Mitts (top and bottom)
Mothers Claybar and Quick Detailer
Raggtop Convertible Kit
Lexol Leather Kit
Vynolex
Meguiar'sGold Class Wash
ScratchX
Invisible Glass
24 Small General Purpose MF towels
Craftsman Shop Vac
Finally 2 huge Craftsman Professional storage cabinets to put all this new stuff in.

Question 1
Is the stuff in this "Kit" the same as buying seperate your just getting more? I noticed its not the same towels but I can't imagine that one towel is worth buy the seperately.

Pinnacle/Wolfgang Kit $99 (adds a few things some polish finish, quick detailer, and a couple microfiber towels.
Or
Pinnacle Souvern $80 + Wolfgang $25 (Menzerna Discount)

Question 2
A few people on the AG forum said I should get Menzerna Super Intensive Polish and Menzerna Nano PolishPO 106. Instead of regular Intensive Polish. Not sure what to do with that.

Question 3
What carpet cleaner should I get. I have all red if it makes a difference


Long Post! I don't think I forgot to ask anything. Anyway have at it. Thanks!

For a sealant, I would consider looking at Chemical Guys JetSeal109. Best sealant out there IMHO, especially on Berlina. www.ChemicalGuys.com Enter GOLD5 in the discount code box and get 5% off.

With this and all your products, your Berlina is going to look great. Good luck.

Waffle weave towels are available at CG for about 60% of the price AG charges.

AA Tire gel is still my favorite after trying so many boutique products.

Get the UDM over the PC, also Edge system does not work as well with DAs.

Get the UDM and the Lakecountry pads.

Also, all of the MF that Chemical Guys sell are made by Pakshak. You might want to check them out for your towels. They are having a sale right now.

really depends on what you are doing...

you need a coupla drying towels, and for "normal" detailing (wash n wax)- prob bout half dozen... if you are polishing, doing interior, etc. you can use up to a dozen depending on whether you are using them for everything or not (for example, i usually use the padded mfs for leather), and use old mfs or other rags on the wheels, exhausts, etc.

and i assume that you are doing just one car (yours) at a time-

keep it simple and add stuff when you find out what you want...
