Shopping/wish list

One thing about the winter months in Chicago is that it gives me the time to select the products I want to buy for spring. This is my 2004 shopping list:

1 gallon of Eimann Fabrik Hi-Intensity
Einszett Ultra Polish
Einszett Paint Polish
Einszett Metallic Polish
PakShak Large Microfiber Towels for drying
PakShak Microfiber Towels
Lake Country Polishing Pads for the PC
Porter Cable 7336
Novus Plastic Polish
33 oz Klasse All In One
33 oz Klasse Sealant Glaze
Creeper Stool that can support my 300+ pounds
Meguiar's DACP (as large as I can get it)
Another 5 gallon bucket from Home Depot or KMart
(My father used one of my buckets to clean the grease trap)
Pinnacle Souveran
Eimann Fabrik Power Wash
Zaino Z-12 Glass Polish
Meguiar's Dual Action Cleaner Polish
Eimann Fabrik Clear Vision
Porsche Tequipment Insect Remover
Meguiar's APC
Steam Extractor with solution
More brushes
Detailing Swabs
Air Compressor and retractable hose
Spray Bottles
...and a lotta green to buy it all.

Why is the list so long? Well, I may be looking at detailing on the side for a little extra $$. I have a few people who want me to detail their cars for them.

What's on your list this year?

The challenge is one that will support my 370 (current weight) frame. I still need a ladder as well because I know I am going to have to tackle a vehicle I actually dread (A Navigator).

Bman: You know it gets increasingly tempting to buy stuff when you try so hard to resist.

But knowing me, that may not be all. There are some more items I am looking to try/sample.

I already have the following samples and they may get used on a certain green Navigator.

Z-12 Glass Polish
DACP

In addition, I need to stock on the terrycloth applicators so I can have clean ones for doing the leather. I am also looking for more tire swipes, detailing brushes, paintbrushes of varying sizes, etc....

Oh yeah, I forgot the biggest thing on my list. A storefront.

Once I get that, I will plan to have some detailing meets there.
