I've been taking a few more jobs here and there, even some basic wash and waxes (I would never offer only a wash and wax without a prior detail). A lot of clients cannot drop or drive their car to my home so i have been going to their homes.
Because of this, I have found myself thinking long and hard on what products I might need and should take, only to get there and remember I totally forgot to grab a new bar of clay or whatnot. Today I got to a job with some really neglected wheels only to realize I did not bring any wheel or tire cleaners. None the less I ended up using regular wash soap and lots of diffeent brushes, followed by some polish and clay afterwards. This caused me to lose maybe 20 minutes all because I forgot some much needed wheel cleaner.
Do you guys have a list you like to go by?
Mine goes a little like this, please suggest or add as you please.
1. Wash solution (ONR or Conventional soap)
2. Wheel and tire cleaners
3. Wheel and tire Brushes
4. Washmitts
5. Drying towels
6. Buckets and grit guards
7. Hose and nozzles
8. Vacuum and attachments
9. extension cord
10. All Purpose MF Towels
11. Microfiber towels
12.Terry towels
13. Quick Detail Spray
14. ZAIO
15. Menzerna PO106ff
16. Hi-Temp Extreme Cut Leveler
17. Optimum Polish
18. Foam pads
19. PC and Rotory
20. Wax and Sealants
21. Foam and MF Applicator pads (interior/exterior)
22. Leather Cleaner
23. Leather conditioner
24. Interior surface cleaner / APC
25. Carpet spot cleaner
26. Carpet brush
27. Interior surface brush
28. Plastic Vinyl Protectant
29. Glass Cleaner
30. Glass Master Pro
31. Tire and wheel well dressings plus applicator
32. Metal polish
33. Clearkote VMHG
34. ???

Then when you're done, please let me know how you guys are taking all this? I'm using my little green makita bag and 5 gallon wash buckets. Everything else just sits in my trunk.
