For the last few years I've been in to detailing. I'm no pro, but I'm definitely labeled as a hobbyist and I like to think I'm above the average Joe when it comes to detailing

I'veaccumulated a healthy (or unhealthy depending on how you see it) amount of gear over the year from the likes of Autobrite Direct, Bilt Hamber, Car Pro etc.

I've already spent £100 on new gear for when my M135i arrives! Including wheel woolies, Bilt Hamber Auto wheel cleaner, wheel sealants and more.

So, to the detailing fans on here, what's in your collection?

Here's my Cupra 280 all cleaned up with 2 coats of Autobrite Direct spray Abyss paint sealant applied.

That Cupra is looking good! Just ordered some wheel woolies myself after talking to my boss who said he loves his. Here's my collection, it's a bit of a mess at the moment I've only just finished painting the garage.

Wheel woollies are excellent additions for any enthusiast, ive been using mines for a year or so now plus the very small one is great for the bmw front grills. Also i have not long got the same pressure washer as you. What a machine

Yep I'm most definitely a hobbyist detailer.

I've got tons of stuff just like you guys. My supplier is local and really good...
A really good investment was a Rupes DA kit. I have made friends with a Pro Detailer who put me on to Scholl S17+ polish with the Rupes Yellow pad for my Alpine White M135i and the results were brilliant. Today just finished detailing (including machine polish) my brother in laws new Honda CRV (who buys those? Him!). He has no idea about detailing and how much effort it takes but could not help be impressed with the results. The colour and depth was quite different once I was done.

So nice to sit down now!
