Starting over with my detailing kit

I managed to leave all of my detailing supplies in the garage this winter and I'm guessing most of them have deteriorated enough that I should replace them.

I have a 2006 E90 in sparkling graphite. I also have a PC7424.

Any suggestions for me? Thanks.

You would be surprised about what still is good. Shake the bottles really well, most of the time the mix right back together. Pastes should be ok. I would go through them before tossing them.

+1 Most of the stuff is pretty durable and has a shelf life of at least a couple of years.

If you're starting from scratch, there's so much ground to cover, I'm not sure where to start. Just go somewhere like Detailed Image and just start adding things to the cart.

I think you're on to something here

I'm going to try using my Optimum compound, polish and sealant to see how they've held up. Only got them last summer.

Don't risk your car's paint, or your environment up there in Canada. Ship them to me for proper disposal.
