I have a few of your suggestions already....
2 Clear AG buckets with Grit Guards and gamma lids, ONR and DG 901, Cobra Guzzler Combo Kit & 6 Super Plush 16x24 MF towels from AG, 12 CG Super Towels. I was able to pick up two MF wash mitts in a AG B1G1 sale. I've been using UWW+ in a Kwazar bottle to do WW's. Just picked up a pressure washer from Sears on clearance for $150 and have a foam cannon is on the way with a gallon of CG HoneyDew foam soap, CG VRP, CG bug & tar wash, CG V7, a VX6 air dryer, 2 detailing brushes, Griots Glass Sealant.
I have a Nanoskin Sponge already but have been eyeing a Nanoskin Medium wash mitt and/or towel.
I've been looking hard at microfibertech.com for some towels. Managed to stack up the cart to around $120 but didn't pull the trigger yet. lol
I think I'm going to start off slow and do some weekend detailing as a side job and try to get some jobs mostly in headlight restorations to get my feet wet.
Here's my PW I just bought.

Wow. I really need to start doing my homework on all these goodies. I know they wont be cheap but I'm known for ALWAYS washing my rides. Better start doing it right.
