Going to Zaino...need equipment recommendations

There's so much info to sift through and I'm getting lost! I'm going to do my first zaino this weekend and don't know what to use. I don't have much cash to spend but please give recommendations...

1) For washing the car
2) For dryng the car
3) Applying zaino
4) Buffing
5) Quick detailing
6) Anything else I forgot

Thanks in advance for any help!

OK I'm thinking of ordering the following. I was hoping to not spend so much so if there are any less expensive products you would recommend please let me know!

Genuine Wool Wash Mitt
Blue Perl Microfiber Applicators
Concours Buffing Towel
Sonüs Ultimate Drying Towel

Sounds like a good rig to me. I use the wool wash mit and the buffing towels. The drying towel you've selected is what I want to get. I'm still using the Zaino applicators and a similar DF Concours applicator, but the Blue Perl Microfiber Applicators s/b great, too.

Ok I went ahead and ordered these:

Genuine Wool Wash Mitt
Blue Perl Microfiber Applicators
Concours Buffing Towel
Sonüs Ultimate Drying Towel
Raggtopp Protectant

This stuff can get expensive. All this stuff plus the Zaino package I got is costing more than $200! Well it's still cheaper and much better than the car care kits the dealers offer. I'll be busy this Saturday...we'll see how good the Mini looks afterwards.
