Best Basic Detailing Package?

05' S60 R

I just picked up my R a couple of months ago and now that it's getting nicer outside i'm looking to put together a good detailing kit that will cover the basics. I live in an apartment with no place to hook up a hose so i'm stuck going to spray it yourself places. Anyway, any suggestions for what I should keep in the trunk would be appreciated. I have also noticed that most companies like Maguire's offer package kits so if you think any of them are decent let me know.
 
First and foremost, we require pictures of your car. Just because I've always liked the S60Rs.



You've got a lot of options depending on where you live. If you live in a place where you won't get too much dirt and mud on it, then a no-rinse car wash might be a good thing for you. Optimum No Rinse seems to be the favorite around here(plus you can mix it in different amounts to use it for different things).



The $20 Meguiar's kit isn't terrible, and NXT2 is actually a pretty decent entry level LSP (last step product). I like it for metallics personally, and as a sealant underneath another wax, but i'm rather insane(we all are here, don't worry). Plus the kit comes with the liquid NXT, and I like pastes. Surf City Garage also sells some kits on their website, they're very good products as well. If you're just looking for the basic maintenance , either Meg's or SCG offer great packages. But the LSP takes more time to find IMO.



And again, pics of your car!
 
Big +1 on the Optimum No Rinse Wash N Shine. Make sure you mix it up with distilled water, though.



You might also want to consider buying a good quality Boar's Hair Brush to take with you to the coin-op. BHB's are expensive, but they will save you from marring the paint with the coin-op brush.
