I had a checklist for what I needed when I wanted to do some remote detailing. However, Eric (Duetsch ..) gave me new inspiration to organize it better and I think I will have two columns: one for the product and one for the tools/towels used.
This was helping me stock my kit but I do not have a lot of specific items here but decided to expand the list just for completeness and maybe others could use as a shopping list.
