Without going overboard and getting a full Meguiars detailing kit, or something mad like that. What essentials do you think everyone should have in their detailing kit? Obviously money is sometimes a factor, so good value for money products always help

Just a good set of the basic things for doing a nice detailing to your car on a mild weathered SUnday afternoon!

Is this for your car Bob? Or just in general?

1. Two buckets for washing with two-bucket method

2. Decent shampoo
3. Clay bar with lubricant spray
4. Filler polish (eg AG SRP) - for those times when you can't/don't know how to machine polish
5. Decent wax
6. Durable wax eg collinite
7. Bumper/vinyl care
8. Glass cleaner
9. Tyre care
10. Metal polish
11. Lambswool/microfibre washmitt
12. A whole host of microfibre cloths varying in size from small to large for various jobs.

Anybody wanna add anything else?
