It sounds odd, but what is the one or two things that you have to have when detailing (not tools or supplies) that simply make detailing way more enjoyable/comfortable - especially if you do this everyday.

For example, you found the best type of shoe, a perfect set of Bluetooth headphones, the best way to keep warm when detailing in the winter, the best way to keep cool in the summer, best way to keep your feet dry. Looking forward to what's some of your all go to's.
 
When building our retirement home the garage design was my focus. I wanted a space that was clean, warm in winter, cool in summer. I use a Bose Bluetooth speaker connected to my iPhone which allows me to listen to music anywhere.
 
Red Wing boots. Probably the most comfortable footwear if ever had with there arch support inserts. The're expensive but worth every penny. The shoes and boots...
 
The way it pivots, it looks like it'd be perfect. I wonder how much..
 
Wireless headphones with built in mic to answer calls.

Ive never used it for that, but it moves a lot of air and isnt noisy. My garage is always filled with a nice breeze with that fan.
 
A big refrigerator within arms reach loaded with your favorite adult beverages!!! :)

I love using my Bluetooth for music/podcasts and to answer calls. Do you have a link or name if you like yours? I've thought about actual wireless headphones over a Bluetooth so it'd be cool to get a good recommendation.

Used the Beats Studio. Got a good deal on it and very comfy. I might have a big head, but it is somewhat tight fitting. In a few days, I will be trying out, hopefully, the Sony ZX770BN.
 
A ryobi cordless drill with an extra battery for drill brushes for carpets seats etc.

Jarred, I have 4 small air movers I link together for drying interiors. Couldn't imagine doing without them. They dry out most carpets after extracting in about 3 hours with temps at around 60 degrees.

My favorite item has to be the 30ft extension cord reels I just got... next on the list would be my Greenworks pro cordless leaf blower.. and after that would be my cordless impact for removing seats when we get really nasty interiors.
 
My Jaybird Bluebuds X. They don't fall out. Sound is amazing. You can answer calls and battery lasts for 9 straight hours for me. Also mention to Viper4Android for making them sound even better on my phone.

Second on the list would be my DeWalt 20V Max compact blower. Blows sand, dirt, leaves out of my garage like a full size. Also works great for blowing water out of crevices and dirt out of the truck.

I really need to do this, or just go get a cheap old buffer, but the cordless drill isn't a bad idea (less cords is always good). Do you feel like there's enough power with the battery operated one? Would a regular porter cable 7424 get the job done better/quicker?
