I just picked up a 13 sedan si CPB. After moving I no longer have any car cleaning supplies.

Do you guys have any leads on sites that have good package deals? Any specific kits you would highly recommend? Figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. I'm sure it would save me money vs buying everything individually.

Also anything that is a must have for cleaning your car feel free to let me know along with a link.

Thanks everyone!

After clicking on this link, then go to read more details, Tells what each one does including their "Deep" micro fiber mitt(I do use sheep skin). The brush is a must if you can't get your mitts though the spokes. Also a felt type cloth works great for the use as a sham-e(cover more surface before having to ring it out).
I have two buckets(3- one dry that holds all my things I don't want to touch the ground while not in use). Two mitts(one for upper half of body, and one for wheels and low grimy parts), shamy & felt dry cloth, Long single wheel brush, & a soft tyre and outside lugs etc. wheel brush. I have a wheel cleaning spray(before getting them wet).

detailedimage is a great place to start but most "kits" have a lot of junk you really don't need.

Get your buckets from Home Depot or PepBoys for like $5 each. If you really want fancy buckets you can get some awesome very sturdy colored ones from U.S. plastic.

Grit guards are a bit of a specialty item so they are usually $7-10 but with black friday and cyber monday coming up you might want to hold off and check out all the sale stuff.

detailed image is probably my favorite site but take a look at autogeek.net as well. They usually run some pretty ridiculous sales this time of year. They also have a buy one get one section which is a great score on grit guards. Those things seriously work. They seem gimmicky but are well worth it. 2 in a bucket works best.
