Detailing your own car or friend`s cars is far different than detailing a stranger`s car for money, both in their expectations and your motivation.
It is possible to created great results without all the big, expensive equipment. It just takes a little longer and working smart. Start small and focus on the necessities. Continue to read and research here. It will help you more to research the answers to your questions in the long run because you will have a better understanding of why a particular tool or product is the better choice. So many times inexperienced people try to use the same tools and products that they heard create great results only to fail to achieve the same. It isn`t always the tools, but the skill/knowledge of the detailer that makes the difference.
If you are willing to invest a significant amount of money I recommend putting it into some form of training. That training should teach you all you need to know to determine for yourself what tools and materials you need. There are courses available, but if you can find a reputable person in your area willing to help I think you will be better off. Even someone who can just act as a coach for you will help you learn much quicker than trial and error.
I wish you luck in your venture, whatever path you choose.
