Need Help With Detailing Products

[MillertimeKY]

What's up Autopians? Since just getting a brand new truck I've done a ton of reading on detailing and what to do to help keep my trucking looking brand new. I've also got a 98 toyota celica that has been neglected for the last couple years and I need to try and get it into selling shape. I'm looking to buy all new products to detail my vehciles. Here is a list of what I'm looking to buy and a couple pics of the car's problem areas. I still haven't decided whether to go with Meguiars or Zaino wax so that's why there is nothing about wax on my list. Any input on anything I'm missing or a product that may be better then what I have would be greatly appreciated.

Not much you can do for the roof. Looks like the clearcoat is gone and maybe some of the paint. Wheels have lost their clearcoat as well, not much you can do for them.

You need to try some Polishing compound. Either turtle wax or Meguires will work fine.

It might not make it perfect again but will help. It will also help with some of the swirl marks too. Those wheels are another story. I would clean them real good and spray paint them with some silver wheel paint.

I use 100% white cotton towels and microfiber towels I found at Target. I also use those same foam applicators. I have a regular sponge I use to wash and I also have a sheepskin wash mitt I got from ace hardware.
