For wash: Meguiers Gold Class or Turtle Wax ICE, use a nice wash mit to do the actual clean.
For Clay Bar: Either Meguiers or Mothers clay bar kits.
For Wax: Either Meguiers Cleaner Wax or Gold Class (paste wax in a can, none of this liquid sh**)
For Windows: Stoners Invisible Glass
For Interior: I like Meguiers Leather care, a good vaccum, and Meguiers Quick Interior Detail for the dash
For Wheels and Ties: I just wash and scrub my wheels with an old rag and some quick detailer. Works out pretty nice. For tire shine, i'd recommend Meguiers HOT SHINE tire spray.
Then finish it all off by using a shamois.

Towels, i use micro fiber for the leather, interior, and delicate spots. For like my rims, exhaust or inside my fenders i use older kitchen rags.

For taking off wax, i suggest use an old towel (not one with sh** in it though) then buff whatever is left with micro fiber. if you use a micro fiber to just take the wax off, they fill up quick and dont work as well.

I'd suggest taking it to a place like Midas and just paying them to throw it on, esp if your bolts are rusted. Thats what i did. Way easier. They have torches.

wtff spent all today trying to find these dam gaskets localy, went to autozone..didnt have them, went to NAPA...didnt have them, went to advanced auto parts...didnt have them. This last place said there wearhouse had what the THINK i need so i will go back there tomarrow when they get them in to see if them have them. Oh and i also went to the nissan dealership..they only have the one that connected to the Y-pipe for 10.XX, so i just told him id see what happened with the other place.

I know i can get them at infinit butt thats like a 20 min drive pluz its going to cost a butt load lol.

Also can i just use some nuts and bolts from a local hardware store? or should i try and find some real replacement ones?
