Obviously I am new here. I recently picked up a new car and am thinking of getting back into the arena of taking good care of it. I have a twin turboed 2010 Ford Flex.
Is this a good start?

Everything that I see is good, but what about polish, sealants and wax?
On MF towels you need good drying towels your wafle weaves do that, works towels a few of those, glass one good one, and then some plush for removing wax and QD applications.
I would get the PB EX sealant or Natty wax...like Ron said protection they are both easy to use just like all the PB products

Any difference between blue or red natty wax? My Flex is Steel Blue. My civic is light silver.

If I understood you correctly, you are saying you use both? You first use a coat of blue, then use a coat of red?
On a semi-related note I have been curious about Poorboy's Spray and Rinse Wheel Cleaner. From some of the pics on this site the stuff looks incredible. I just don't know if my wheels are safe. Is there a way to tell? I have factory wheels on both my cars... I have no idea about their coatings, materials, etc.

Hello from THE IOWA FARM BOY!! Pbs Spray and Rinse should not damage your wheels as it is not acidic, but needes to rinsed well. As for polishes and waxes from Poorboys, Id start with Pro polish, SSR 1, and Polish with Sealant. Pretty simple. Then some Nattys. Soon you will get the detailing product bug and will be ordering product every couple of months. You will want to purchase a buffer of some sorts too. Look into a PC 7424, it makes life easier. DONT start with a rotary!! Youll need an assortment of pads for you PC too. Google porter Cable 7424, and also check Ebay before you buy one. Good luck on your new addiction.

I use both waxes. I love the look. You do not have to, thats just me. (i'm weird and love the look)
I also love spray and rinse. I have german cars and they have tons of brake dust. TONS, and I'm lazy so I just do what the name says.
Formerly the "Best Detailer", now just Super Wax Waster Man. Not necessarily tactful, but normally right. It's good to be da King !!!
I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.
