When my friend first turned me on to Detailed Image, this was the first thing I bought. I have bought another since as a gift to my brother (along with Todd’s instructions on how to wash and dry a car) when he got his BMW 5 series. The Pro Kits Esoteric Wash and Maintenance is very nearly the perfect starter kit. The Ph balanced shampoo is my favorite. The grit guard is a must. The towels are all great, and are the first three I would recommend buying. The wash mitt is high quality, and also a must. If I ruled Detailed Image I would change one thing. The kit comes with spray wax and a spray detailer, both good products. These are not two things I use together and while I would buy one in my first purchase, I would not buy them both to get started. Another grit guard on the other hand, is a necessity. Great kit, as evidenced by the fact that I have bought two.
