Another annoying shopping list thread

Hopefully this one is less annoying though, since I already have the list (below) of stuff I've bought in preparation for my 335 arriving in a few weeks. Is there anything else I need right now? I'm holding off on the Porter Cable 7424 since I figure I won't need it for a while. The car is silver and I plan to follow all the advice here about avoiding swirl marks.

ZFX™ Flash Cure Accelerator Additive

I'm not sure if the Z-6 is the same kind of product but order a bottle of Poorboys Spray and Wipe. It's great for in between washes to give the car a mini cleaning. I've used a few different QD's and the Poorboys IMO is the best available.

Oh and Poorboys Wheel Sealant, a car wax won't work as well. The wheel sealant is specially formulated for wheels to hold up to high temps and repel break dust and road grime. Your back will thank you later.

No problem. I figured I had the Zaino convered but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything else. This is all I have to obsess about while I wait for my car to arrive.

Thanks man. I'll definitely give the wheel sealant a try.

+1 on the PB wheel sealant, I bought some on Darkcloud's recommendation for my new coupe. I just dusted off my brake dust from about 150 miles of driving (it's brand new so they dust up a storm) in a couple of minutes with a dry cotton towel. I haven't had much build up yet, so we'll see how it holds up through the fall/winter when I let it go for longer. So much easier than scrubbing , or spray and rinses, which never seemed to get the job done as well as some good old elbow grease.

I highly recommend it!

Thanks DC!

No problem. You'll be extremely happy with the longterm results. I haven't reapplied any wheel sealant since the beginning of spring and everything still repels like I applied it yesterday. It's by far the best product I own.

Don't forget some 303 fabric guards for the interior. I forget to get that and now i have to get another shipment out =T. That's a good list just about the same I got. I also went with the Zaino trips. Z-CS is pretty sweet.

Is that sort of like Scotch Guard with sunscreen in it? Sounds useful, but I think all the vulnerable parts of my carpet will be covered by the rubber floor mats I ordered.

Yup pretty much. It repells dirt and grime also. I'm putting it under my all-weather mats and any other fabric that is visible.
