The One Product You Couldn't Detail Without

[DLB]

What is it? The one product you must have in your detailing arsenal?
For all intents and purposes, let's assume that Grit Guards, buckets, and water are provided. :D

From Start to Stop - pick one.

Me? Meguiars APC+ (http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-all-purpose-cleaner-plus-d103.html)

This is one I would have to pass on.
While I do have favorites, I do think I could switch to any of dozens of products and probably get good results.
For me, it's less a case of finding a product to use and more of a problem deciding which of several to use.
We are extremely fortunate to have such a wide selection of really good products at reasonable prices.

Well, if I only get to pick one ..... it would have to be Cobra Microfiber. How do you do a detail without MF?

I have a tie...
I love clay. It is the first step to a really smooth finish. I am always amazed at what comes off of a just washed surface.
I like this one:
Pinnacle’s Ultra Poly Clay is the single finest detailing clay available today. (http://www.autogeek.net/piulpoclplsp.html)

I also love Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. I love the way this product leaves the finish feeling and the deep look it gives...
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant delivers a deep, wet, liquid shimmer unlike anything you can imagine. (http://www.autogeek.net/wg5500.html)

Optimum No Rinse

Thats a tough question. I've purchased ALOT from AG in the last few months. So I have several brands of each product (qd, shampoo, wash media, wheel cleaner), but for the sake of conversation I would say Cobra WW (including the WW window towel)

foam gun --- since thats were you start, the washing stage and then many additional items from there.

Lowe's Proline Grout Sponge. It's so soft and rinses so clean. I love how the color makes it easy to see if there's anything on it contaminating it. Plus, it holds lots of water/suds/soap. I don't think I'll ever go back to sheepskin or other wash mitts. (I do use a chenille mitt for the very lowest parts of the car.) And the price is certainly right! When you wear one out, it's only $2 for a new one.

without a doubt, microfiber towels. these come in contact with the paint just about the most and not having quality ones, means swirls, scratches, etc...
