Car Detail Kit Recommendation

I want to get a starter detail kit budget is less than $100. What would you recommend?

Griots?

Maybe something like this:

Gritos

Thx!

You can't go wrong with the Griot's kit.

Juan does great work. I need to order an oxidation bar from him, I finally used up my clay bar stockpile.

I've been using Zaino wax on my cars, it blows away everything else that I've tried. They have basic starter kits as well.

I would recommend supporting a contributor that participates here..

Saying that.... I have been using Zaino for probably 12 years...

They make a nice starter kit

CAR WAX DETAILING CARE KIT
I just started using Chemical Guys products. I switched from Dodo Juice,which I still Like.
I'm very impressed with bang for the buck with the Chemical Guys stuff.

Update:

I applied Zaino about 10 months ago and it rained really hard rain last night. The car looks still looks like it was waxed last week. The water just beads off. It lives mostly outside too.

WOW!
