What are your absolute must-haves?

For me, I only have a couple at the moment as I'm trying a bunch of new cleaners/polishes/waxes/sealants to break the mold for a bit. A couple of mine for example would be Stoner's Glass Cleaner, Meguiar's Natural Shine Interior Detailer, and Meguiar's #26. Stoner's cleans glass like no other, Meguiar's Natural Shine leaves the best looking, non-greasy, lasting protection I've seen, and Meguiar's #26 is some of the best looking off the shelf pure carnauba wax I have found. Don't get me wrong, I loves me some Menzerna polishes, but like I said I'm trying to branch out so I won't be listing those. I'm omitting the obvious here of clay bar, wax-safe shampoo, buckets, PC, UDM, etc. But, I'm curious as to what everyone's must-have's are in terms of any cleaning/polishing/waxing/sealing/shining/protecting products. List what they are, why you absolutely need them, what they do for you, and some pictures are always welcome :)

For me (a PC user), Meguiar's 83 is a must. I was able to get the following results on the hood of this BMW using 83....

Thanks - I guess the reason I like 83 so much is that once you get the hang of using it, it really is a versatile product. On a lot of cars, I got such a nice finish after using just 83, I didn't even have to follow it up with 80 or 9.



I used a Meguiar's 8006, yellow pad
 
My absolute must-have is Duragloss AquaWax



I do not detail for a living, and for my personal cars I just do not have the time to properly take care of all of them. All our cars are parked outside 24/7 and with no garage or shade to work in. Any time I have to take care of the cars is very limited, as I have to wait until the sun is about to go down, but I have to finish before it gets too dark.



After a simple wash, AW applies just as easily as using a QD, doesn't require properly prepped surface for it to adhere, and it gives me at least a decent month of protection.
 
To those that like Aquawax, what it is that makes you keep coming back? Its protection/look/ease of use/all the above?
