What to buy for detailing?

What essentials or top picks in products should I buy for cleaning the inside and outside of my M? I'm starting from scratch with no detailing gear, lol.

Suggestions greatly appreciated

I would check out this Money2536 stuff he does some great work on his own cars and his videos are informational.

I myself has used AMMO NY its easy and he has everything you need on a basic level(http://www.ammonyc.com/), however most of the time I let the Pros do the heavy lifting because I don't have a garage or the skill set.
