Hey,
Just wondering if anyone can recommend some good cleaning products (including cloths, rags etc etc) I dont really want to spend more than £40, just something that will add a little shine to the car..?

Thanks a lot.

That lot would get you started. For best results you ideally need to be pre-waxing, sealing and waxing. But your budget doesn't really allow for all that - as far as i know? (Someone else join in and say he can manage it :P )

Clay is the safe removal of bonded contaminents on the paintwork, use a soft clay to start like Sonus green , as long as you have a good lube and have cleaned the car with a pre wash and 2bm then you cant mess it up, but make sure you keep the bar lubed !! otherwise you will mar the paint.;)

Clay removes all the contaminants in your paintwork. It's easy to use dude.

Rinse and wash your car, leave it wet, spray the quick detailer provided onto your paint and rub the clay over. Make sure you keep it well lubricated and keep folding the clay over to keep it fresh.
Then just rinse and wash again :)

Clay's awesome, you'll be amazed by how much dirt it remove's and it leave's your paintwork soooo smooth :)
