Well sue me for not saying it out, was taking a pic.
Didnt want to give wrong info for the man to buy the wrong thing. We buy by the gallons nuh, not drums and simple green tends to make a variety of similar products in similar gallons lined up next to each other on the shelf. :?

Yes, Interchem is the place. Paid around $110.00 I think.

Hey guys. Need some advice. My dad brought in a roro corolla, and its a dark navy blue colour. I told him don't let the importer 'buff' it cause they does rel swirl up the paint. I want some advice on what to do on the paint when it comes home. Like what products you all recommend and what I should do.
So far this is what I have in mind:

Wash: Shining Monkey Wash & Wax
Clay: Mothers clay bar kit or shining monkey (May rewash after claying)
Polish: Shining Monkey Clean and Repair Polish
Shining Monkey Color Enhance Hand Glaze.
Wax: Meguiars Ultimate Liquid wax

(I may be currently a bit biased to Shining Monkey Since I have been using it with great results)

Up for any recommendations etc. Want to do a proper job now, so it will be easier to maintain.

Btw pioneer, where you got all that AG stuff?
