Just got back from Pep Boys. The one in my area was having a Grand Reopening. 2 for one Invisible Glass w coupon. Meguirs NXT auickSpray Detailer. When I took at the receipt they gave me a printable online code for a $10 off anything in the store. What should I buy for the Prius?? The NXT paste?? The california duster was $6.89 with a rebate, but I don't think I want one.
I think the duster is really handy for a quick clean-up if the car is dry. Get some metal air-valve covers.

Applicators. The terry-cloth ones that have a sponge in the middle. Get a whole bunch of those, they really come in handy (especially if you are doing layers of finishes).
MICROFIBER MICROFIBER MICROFIBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I stopped by Pep Boys a of couple weeks ago and bought a bunch of microfiber products. I really like the mit for dusting. The glass cleaning cloths are amazing too. Use a micofiber cloth made for glass, along with Stoner brand glass cleaner (no funny comments!! the stuff is great!). The cloth can do the entire car at once. Doesn't matter if it is saturated with cleaner, no streeks... EVER!!! I also picked up the micofiber drying cloth. It gets soaked and seems like its not enough for the whole car, but I use the spot free rinse and have no issues with spotting from the little water not absorbed by one cloth. All cloths are washable too. Amazing, simply amazing.
One thing I will never ever be without again for washing a car is something called 'The Absorber'. It's like a very thin sponge but not really. It soaks up water like nobody's business. It dries the car even when it's damp. You just keep wiping and when it gets really soaked you wring it out and keep going. It's amazing. Even better than microfiber. Which it probably is but a different kind.
