Power Maxed have a good offer on at the moment on a bundle of products which will cover pretty much everything you'd need to keep your car clean - http://www.powermaxed.com/clean-your...product-bundle. I've not used their products yet myself, but that's because I haven't run out of anything yet. Andy rates their products very highly so it's a safe bet. I'll be ordering that when I get paid next week. The only thing it hasn't got which you could do with having is an iron fallout remover. Bilt Hamber Korrosol is what I use and it works a treat. It's an important step as failure to remove iron particles can result in swirling being left in the paint, and also if left for long periods can affect the bodywork and allow corrosion to begin. Picking up a quick detailer spray would help protect your paintwork for longer as well. Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer is pretty much the universally approved one on this site.
Of course you need some items to actually wash your car with. Don't use sponges or leathers whatever you do! Invest in a decent wash mitt (lambs wool are the best) for doing the body work, and personally I use a cheap microfiber mitt for the wheels. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washin.../prod_282.html - that's what I use on the body and http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kent-Q2429-M...iber+wash+mitt is what I use for the wheels. You don't need to spend loads on buckets either, you can just pick two cheap ones up from the super market. You don't need grit guards, but you will have to be careful not to go near the bottom of the bucket when using them, so it can be a good idea to spend a bit on them just for peace of mind. After you've washed you car, you need to dry it. The best thing here is pat drying using a drying towel which will help reduce swirls and scratches. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/index....productId=1003 is the one I use.
That covers most day to day cleaning. It's another list when it comes to more detailed cleaning, covering claying, polishing and waxing etc.
