i'm not as hardcore as some but i do enjoy washing my car. for a basic wash i use the following:

2x buckets
2x knobby mitt (auto zone... yes, seriously)
1x rim brush (very soft)
several microfiber towels (costco).
2x waffle weave drying microfiber towels
1x toro leaf blower
chemical guys was+wax (wash & wax car shampoo with gloss)
stoners window wipes (for tints)
box of rubber gloves
extension cord
adjustable hose nozzle
folding stool

everything is pretty basic imo. the leaf blower is only good for mirrors and other large gaps that water loves to spray from while i drive. gloves are because i'm strange.

if i'm doing a deep clean then chemical guys clay and sealer are worked in but that's rare.

i don't use a wand or pressure washer because i don't really need them. i don't have the room at my current location anyway.
i would replace 2x waffle weave drying microfiber towels with Absorber Towels which last a life time.
