I have a black car so I plan o cleaning it every few days or so, so I was curious of what tools i will need. I bought some terry towels to apply soap and spray wax, a bucket, meguiars deep crystal car wash (i think), some kind of spray on wax by meguiar, and a chamois. Any other supplies? Something for the wheels... something for the interior...

microfiber is fine for the interior, maybe look for a chenille wash mitt (cotton)

I truly believe the ez detail brush should be an essential item for cleaning wheels. It fits in to very tight spaces and makes cleaning the inner barrels of the wheels a breeze.

Something for interior... Aerospace protectant Great product and widely known and respected for its uv protection. leaves a matte finish behind.

And something else to consider, for general washing, would be a grit guard. Fits in your wash bucket and really does make a difference. for 10 bux, and a product that'll last a lifetime, its money well spent imo.

These things should help get you started... but theres always more

- ACE Power Stick for the wheels
- grit guards for a dual bucket wash
- foam gun to soak the car
- plush MF to wash
- waffle MF to dry

- grit guard for the bucket
- 2 wash mitts (sheepskin or chenile) 1 for upper portions, 1 for lower
- good quality drying towels
- wheels - I just use car wash unless they're very dirty
