What's in your cabinet?

Specifically, the car cleaning supplies.

Here's mine in its current state.

General Use Soaps: 3D Super Soap and Duragloss 903
Acidic Soap: Carpro Descale
Alkaline Soap: Not needed, just add some Dawn Ultra to the mix
Rinseless Wash: Armour Detail Hero and DIY Detail V1
All-Purpose Cleaner: Super Clean
Tire Cleaner: Mineral Spirits
Panel Prep: Gyeon Prep
Ceramic Coatings: Gyeon Mohs Evo, Gyeon Rim
Glass Water Repellant: Gyeon Quick View and Angelwax H2GO
Detail Spray: Carpro ECH2O
Odor Eliminator: Carpro So2Pure
Engine Bay Dressing: Koch Chemie Motorplast
Water Spot Remover: Chemical Guys Gel
Glass Cleaner: Stoner Invisible Glass (but most of the time I just use rinseless wash, unless it's oily)
Carpet Cleaner: I don't clean carpet but I do clean carpet floor mats with Dawn Ultra and Super Clean with a carpet brush

Some products are not shown because they are on my detailing cart:

Ceramic Sealant: Hybrid Solutions Flex Wax
Interior Clean + Protect: Hybrid Solutions Inside Job (and rinseless wash)
Tire Shine: Hybrid Solutions Graphene Acrylic
Decontamination + Iron Remover + Clay Lube: Hybrid Solutions Rapid Decon

As you can see, some products pull double duty, so you don't need so many dedicated bottles.

Usage Notes: I need to use up the Duragloss. I've had it a long time. I have yet to try the Carpro ECH2O, and I need to use up the rest of the Gyeon Quick View. Quick View is a good product but I am replacing it with the Angelwax H2GO as it is a little easier to work with, and is more economical.

The CX-5 has the Gyeon Mohs Evo and Gyeon Rim ceramic coatings.

The MX-5 gets the ceramic sealants and detail sprays. I don't use them on the CX-5 because I just let the coating do all the work.

I'll share more later, including tools and methods.

Waiting for more... What do you recommend for getting the debris out from the top of the engine? My hand-held vacuume is weak. The leaf blower and shop vac can't get the small pieces out. Compressed air duster then?

At the base of the windshield? After that junk compacts in there, nothing works as well for me as the pressure washer. You can use that all around the edges of the engine bay and the hatch opening because the same junk collects there. I only got so far with the leaf blower.

Want to clean the debris out of the nooks and crannies under the engine cover. Going to run without it so I may need to clean more often. Saw a compressed air duster that claims to go 60 mph.

Ahh so the area with the injectors. I tend to foam, brush, and pressure wash engine bays but with the engine cover on. If I want to clean under it, I use towels and a degreaser.
