Hey guys,

Just grabbed my FRS about 2 weeks ago and its the first car I've owned that I actually care about the appearance and want to do all the washing, cleaning, etc. myself.

What I'd like to gather from the collective knowledge on the forums is a short list of either "must have" or necessary products for proper maintenance of both the inside and outside of the car.

While I will spend some time on the outside, inside, and wheel/tire appearance I doubt I will get to claying and proper detailing. Sort of looking for a starter kit to avoid the carwash and get me out in the Cali sun!

I already gathered I'll need some of the following:
* 5 Gallon Buckets
* Soft cotton / microfiber clothes
* Soft brush / wheel cleaner

If anyone could provide a short list of products that'd be great! Looking to keep it under $200 for starters. Hopefully I can pick these up at target / local hardware store unless buying online will save me a bundle.

Appreciate the help!
