ok, so im on euro car parts drawing up a list,

hows this for starters?

meguiars gold class shampoo 1.9ltr
meguiars quick clay set
meguiars step 2 polish
Autoglym aqua wax kit with polishing cloth

that lot is £40 with discount.

what sponges, drying cloths, applicators are best and how many of each should i look at?

Cheers
