I will probably get All Finish Paint Protection, All Metal Sealant, and the new Spray Sealant. The other stuff in the line is over priced and just not worth the money. I may test a few more of the newer items as well.

If only you posted this 2 days earlier... just bought a PC 7424xp off amazon 
I'm sure I can pick some pads and stuff up from you though and maybe you can show me how to use the pads?

Awesome! Will be dropping by soon to pick up some stuff. Haven't been out to your shop since your "open shop day" a couple years ago.
Btw, is there some toll I'll need to pay to get out to Maple Ridge now? I'm in Vancouver and on google maps it says I'll need to travel on Lougheed Hwy/BC-7 E (Partial toll road).

Shouldn't be one if you come out No1 / Lougheed.  | |

Been trying to get it done. Had to wait for some wash mitts of all things, to come in. I'll get something up today or tomorrow for you. It was a basic wash/dry kit you wanted?

Here is what I have put together. Let me know what you think. And yes, the pics will look a bit better for the website!
Our basic package includes a grit guard, mitt, soap, plush drying towel, tire dressing and applicator. 
The basic protection kit includes the above with the addition of clay, clay lube, Werkstat Acrylic Jett Trigger and two of our plush towels. 
If these seem to be what you are looking for, I'll get these priced out and onto the site.

Carnauba Jett is a wax, Acrylic Jett is a sealant. | Please include instructions with use? 
Sealant/Wax, whatever it is and I'll need to get reading online!

The second kit looks great!
So other things I'll need to add to the kit is perhaps a wheel brush/cleaner and somewhere to source a bucket that fits the gritguard?

Home Depot is the cheapest place for buckets. They sell them for less than I can buy them for. | |
