What to have on hand in a second location

I have a second home in AZ. and would like to know what to keep at this location.
I cannot carry all my products back and forth and don`t want to duplicate everything.
It gets stinking hot there in the summer, so I will have to store some of the stuff in the house where the temp. is kept at 88 degrees.
No machines involved
Things come to mind is a rinseless wash
Waxes
AIO, but I am not sure what would work by hand.
 
I`m leaving Monday from MN to AZ.

I find myself doing more No Rinse (Optimum) washes for mainly dust removal then actual soaking the cars. I added a faucet to the water softener so I`d have softened water out of the hose but I only used it twice last year. My stockpile is kept in the house too when not there. The only items that go back and forth are a Flex "Finisher" a "Pixie" and a Griots cordless polisher.... (too expensive for duplicates).....friends cars always need "help" so machines save the arms!

I do take pictures of my supplies "stash" that is left behind so I can remember not to bring duplication`s.

I allow myself one Bankers Box of "stuff" and the box folds up in a closet until the return trip.

Have fun. See you at The Pavillions or Cruising Phil`s on Sunday`s?

I am not going down until first week of Dec. because of last dose of chemo.
My wife would not accept another polisher so I am trying to do without.
 
I`ve set up my daughter with the following at her home:

hose + nozzle
5 gallon bucket
good shampoo
wash mitt
drying towels
glass cleaner
glass towel


Add-ons:
bug cleaner?
AIO (I think your idea is good on this, BC.)
tar remover?
squeegee?
other things you might miss from your weekly wash routine?
 
I would keep:
  • Wash buckets + Grit Guard
  • A rinseless wash that be diluted for different uses. Many can be used for glass, interiors, waterless wash, etc.
  • detail spray
  • wheel brush(es)
  • MF wash mitt
  • MF towels - PFM or equivalent, damp wipe towels (that can be used for other duties, work towels
  • Terry towels
  • An interior detailer
  • carpet cleaner

I only do rinseless washes on my own cars, and use a MF wash mitt, tRC Creature towels for the damp wipe, spritz with detail spray, then dry with PFM. I use what is leftover in the rinseless wash bucket to clean the wheel faces (I use a Mother wheel brush), and sometimes the tires (some rinseless washes have more polymers than others).

If your place is anywhere near Scottsdale let me know. I`m an enthusiast with way too many polishers and products. I`d be happy to loan you a GG6 and some AIO and some sealants etc when you need it. I could also make you up a batch of some APC in a couple different ratio strengths.
