Well it's time for the annual spring detail, the rain has gone away and it's been in the 80's for the last couple of weeks, i'll be doing the LTZ this weekend, paint,rims and tires as well as under the hood. this is my modest arsenal of stuff I use thru the year to keep the LTZ looking her best let's see your stash.

Sweet, looks like your prepared to take on anything that nature throws at the Bu.

And you don't want to see my stash, I have the bad habit of using everything when I'm washing the vehicles but not putting things back in their place........LOL!

I have the opposite habit and stay too organized... maybe we should bash our heads together; shouldnt annoy me to just toss my stuff in the basement till the next morning :-X

I'll be able to take some pictures on the weekend and will post up then -- Before then maybe I'll write up my detail process before I'm able to take pictures. Did a good wash with window stripping and cleaning, but havent done any paint correction yet and want to work that into the whole she-bang.

Malo -- Is that the Kobalt bench? Got the same one! The particle board top is getting annoying though, when i try to work on anything sensitive it gets covered in that dust. Im thining of swapping in a $20ish piece of good wood.

Yeah it's the Kobalt bench from Lowes, I was thinking the same thing about swapping out the top, thinking of cutting a piece of thick plywood

I'll take a pic of that once I'm done too for you to see... Pretty sweet we both have the same work bench haha. I have a sears tool chest though since the cobalt was too dinky and sears had one on sale for about the same.

And I guess you're the only person i know that has this bench so ill provide a word of caution: I overloaded the bottom (all the way across) drawer at first, using it to hold all my screws and nails and hammers and KABOOM! One day, i opened it up and got a shower of its contents on my feet. some first aid and about 2 hours later, i had everything cleaned up, resorted, and now i store extension cables in there.

Posting the stash, I took separate pictures so it wasnt all jumbled together; for buckets I use a mop bucket with a 5 gal in it. I put the soapy water in the yellow bucket then rinse water in the white bucket: that way I can roll them both around together -- see below for the pics:

The products:

The applicators:

The towels:

The Brushes and Foam Gun:

Oh, and for the OP, Malo since we both have the same bench I resurfaced it last night too when i took the pics, here's the finished result as promised:
