the meguire's (*sp?) clay kit seems to be very good, always brings a nice finish to my car. I've always liked zymol too.

I find Bilt Hamber clay is awesome, and helps that you can use water as a lube too, instead of quickdetailer.
Polish, Autoglym SRP, can't go wrong.
Shampoo, was using Autoglym Bodywork shampoo conditioner, and it did the job fine, but swapped to Zymol Autowash and it feels a lot slicker.
