Car cleaning bundle

Wondering if anyone knows where to get a good car cleaning bundle of products.

I figure online someone should have a decent mail out package.

My car needs a total make over!

Do you need a kit that includes a polishing machine.

Have a look through these kits.

What are your goals? Do you want something low maintenance like a glass coating, or do you have time for traditional wash and wax.

What is your washing situation? Waterless, rinseless, or two bucket?

My goals are to make my car stand out. I never had it glissen in the sun and I feel like it should be better than where I'm at.

It's a weekend driver ~800 miles a year kinda thing.

Maitnance- I'm not OCD but I don't want it to be a part time job!

In that case I would coat it. Polish Angel is the easiest, most user friendly one I know of. One of their systems the swirl remover is also the primer and prep for the coating in one step. See here. You will need an orbital polisher like a porter cable. From there use their wash with the 2 bucket method and since your
car is not used much it will look great for years as long as it is washed correctly. Their Viking coat is aslo a great choice.

If traditional is more your thing it will be more work over time but here is a kit I like.

Has your paint been inspected for swirls?

That's not OCD, that's the Camaro owners standard toolbox.
