-hose
-spray nozzle
-bucket
-car wash soap (I'm pushing for Megs Gold Class from Costco)
-either sponges or wash mitts (not sure which will be there yet)
-a drying aparatus (likely there will be some Absorbers available)
I'm sorry that the details of the washing area are a little hazy, but we haven't hammered them out 100% yet.
As for . . .
-303
-wheel cleaner
-wheel shine (do you mean tire shine or tire dressing?)
-vinegar
-towels
-etc, etc
You'll have to bring your own. However, car wash soap makes a great wheel cleaner. Just throw your favorite wheel brushes in the trunk and you'll be all set! Also, I'm not sure what you use the vinegar for. Do you eat a salad while car washing? I could bring the olive oil.
On a very serious note, we ask that none of the Nor'Easter participants use the towels from the hotel to clean/wash/dry their cars. Thanks!!

Car wash, polishes, glazes, liquid sealants, masking tape, tools, tire gloss, metal polish, leather conditioner, glass polish, and a bunch more. Very little space, maximum usefulness

-Invisible Glass (aerosol can)
-Invisible Glass (pump spray bottle)
-Meguiar's NXT Glass Cleaner
-Sprayway Glass Cleaner
-Eimann Fabrik Glass Cleaner
They're all pretty good class cleaners in their own way. Typically though, I just use them for the inside of the window. Washing & drying the outside glass with the rest of the car seems to do a great job.

Hey MikeyC, Thanks for spending so much of your time putting together such a comprehensive detailing guide ... I look forward to picking up a copy at the NorEaster.

It's been a lot of hard work putting this book together, but I think people will enjoy it.
