Inventory:
  • 303 Automotive Protectant
  • CarPro InnerQD
  • GYEON LeatherSet Mild - Leather Cleaner, Leather Coat, Brush, Applicator
  • Wolfgang Uber Rinseless
  • Wolfgang Microfiber cleaner
  • Stoner's Invisible Glass
  • 10 TRC Creature Edgeless Black (for wheels & rockers - up to 5 for A wash and 5 for B wash)
  • 10 TRC Edgeless 365 Yellow for A wash
  • 10 TRC Edgeless 365 Blue for B wash
  • 2 TRC Gauntlet Drying (one for A wash, one for B wash)
  • 5 TRC Diamond Weave Glass & Window
  • 100 6Mil Nitrile Gloves
  • 2 Spray bottles (to make exterior QD/pre-soak from Wolfgang's Uber Rinseless)
  • 3 Home Depot Buckets/lids (Wash, Store Clean Rags, Store Dirty Rags)

Initial Work upon purchase:
  • 303 Automotive Protectant on interior surfaces
  • Gyeon LeatherSet for Steering Wheel

Every 2-3 weeks:
  • Rinseless Wash, using presoak spray if needed
  • CarPro InnerQD
  • Stoners on interior glass

Every 2 washes:
  • Machine wash towels with Wolfgang Microfiber Cleaner; wash warm/cold, dry low. (wash glass towels separate by hand)

Every 3-6 months or as needed:
  • 303 Automotive Protectant on interior surfaces
  • Gyeon LeatherSet for Steering Wheel
  • Eventually purchase and use CarPro Inside

How'd I do? Any comments or adjustments? I've probably spent about $250... which is probably a little more than I intended... however, it should cover me for almost a year of washing before I have to start replacing product.
Looks like you have a pretty solid plan. The only thing I would say is you can wash your glass towels with your other microfibers. The only thing I separate is that I wash any towels I use on my wheels separately from any towels used on paint or glass. I always use the same towels for paint and don't mix them with the towels used for wheels because your wheels will pick up far more contaminants than your paint.
Yes, this. Exactly this. Whatever are the first jest of the dirty microfibers, wash separately and soak in microfiber detergent if needed.
