The Ultimate $150 Detailing Kit

This kit right here is the absolute best option for someone looking into getting into detailing. With a bit more depth than the $50 option, this Ultimate Kit provides everything you need to safely wash, decontaminate, prep, and coat your car to keep it protected from the elements! Utilizing the two bucket method and CarPro Reset, a fantastic pH neutral soap, one can easily maintain a great shine on their car provided from the Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax. I've personally used all these products myself, and although you can substitute many of these options with other things (ie. better wash mitts, microfibers, coatings), these are all great options.

And if you have an extra $20 on top of this kit, definitely pick up a bottle of ONR that's linked below. You can use it as a waterless wash (1:256), clay lube (1:64), and quick detailer (1:16).
