equipment and products needed for starting detail biz?

[ozzy43]

Hi all:

I'm thinking about starting an auto detailing business and wanted to solicit feedback. Specifically, what equipment and products should I be prepared to purchase to have everything I need to get started? This will be a home based business, and I'll be starting small, so it would be helpful to view this in stages, that is:

Basic level (getting started):
Equipment (polishers, buffers, etc)
Products (waxes, clay, etc)
Miscellaneous (microfiber towels, applicators, etc)

Intermediate level (as business becomes established and I want to tackle more jobs)
Additional equipment
Additional products
Miscellaneous

I know there are kits out there which appear to be more economical than purchasing supplies separately, so a list of kits would be great.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I am considering starting a small weekend business and I plan to post my future start-up ADS order, get some ideas from that.
