Well, let's hear it. Share your top 5 tools and accessories you couldn't imagine being without or just tools you are glad to have. I'll start it off. Pressure washer Steamer PC with BP Applicator/Pads LGCM Post yours!
- Metabo - Craftsman wet/dry vacuum (I really prefer an extractor here, LoL) - SteamFast SF-275 (again, I prefer a professional steamer like the Vapor Chief) - Foam gun - Craftsman Professional Floor Cabinet to hold all my detailing supplies
CRSpotless - my last wash was without it and it sucked having to dry the car in the dark instead of feeling ok about leaving it to dry into the night. MF towels - kind of a given, I know Quick Disconnects for hoses Foam Gun Swissvax Wheel Brush Of course, there are more...

My absolute favorite: http://www.detailingbliss.com/forum/f75/product-review-griots-garage-ultimate-bucket-3590.html Small (2" or so) boar's hair detailing brush that I keep in the map pocket Northern Tool "wide mouth" spray bottles...finally, spray bottles that don't leak! Fillable dish washing brush - perfect for applying convertible top cleaner Coin-operated car wash booths - just the ticket for cleaning engines and wheel wells
1. PC/UDM, as slow as these are at correcting I still love them, I am used to the vibration and they are extremely easy to use. Looking at a rotary or Flex in the fall, however. 2. Steamer, I have a crappy Shark model, but it suits my needs well. 3. Ridgid wet/dry vac, 4.25 horsepower, around 10 years old and it's still a tank. 4. Vroom microfiber mitts, extremely plush, last 5x longer than sheepskin. Doesn't release contaminants that easily, however. 5. White LC CCS polishing pads, they hold up very well, unlike their orange and yellow CCS pads.
I just posted a product review of it in the "Product Reviews" section, but I'm adding the Mother's Powerball Mini to my list. Really took the agony out of shining up my polished aluminum CCWs.
EZ detail brush(don't know how I went so long without it) Aztec Hot Rod Makita 9227 edge pads Microfibers
How special are the Northern Tool Wide Mouth Spray bottles? And how deep does the Griots Garage Bucket go, EuroW has the same design without casters, for a whole lot cheaper considering you can get casters at Lowe's/Etc.
