(we kinda forgot to take them outta the laundry bag ha). Do you keep them in separate containers? like have the exterior ones in one tub or box then int in another and the engine ones in another?

Oh and what is your preference on these items?

Thanks again for the help! incredibly helpful advice especially since i am just starting to detail so i wanna do things right ha.
First off, Thanks! I enjoy giving advice. Second, scrap that california blade.. it will cause marring and scratches. Bath towels from a hotel? Scrap them also. Your Sams club towels you can keep.. but only use them as interior cleaners and for wheels/tires.

Pick up some Cobra microfibers off AG. I prefer the light blue ones that are edgeless. I can't find them on AG, but the Cobra gold XL, the purple ones and the silver supremes are all great. Costly, but they are awesome! I wash mine with hypoallergenic detergent. The "Free" detergent. Sometimes I will use the "Baby" formula detergent. AG sells some MF cleaner but i've never personally used it.

As for the boars hair brush.. Yes, that's a good by. Very useful for lug nuts and emblems. I've also found it useful for bugs on grills. It can also be used inside your car, dry, for all the cracks and creases to remove dust/debris.

I would pass on the WG Pockets, as they are useful for applying sealant/wax on your wheels.. that's about it in my eyes. You can easily apply sealant/wax on wheels with other cheaper foam appliers as your wheels won't scratch nearly as easy as your cars paint.

I'm not sure what your trying to show me from the 3rd link? But foam guns are sweet, but not needed.
