This looks to be a decent enough package. Could maybe be had a bit cheaper though.
So I assume I would do a No.1 wash then a 2 and then a 3 and repeat the cycle.
1:
Clay
Lime Prime
Purple Haze
Red Mist
2:
Lime Prime
Purple Haze
Red Mist
3:
Red Mist
Would I need anything else like a final sealant or anything?
Also I have never used wax from a tub. To you wipe your cloth in the tub then on the paintwork?

What I am trying to get at is would I need any final sealer in that kit or is that everything?
Also at what time would you use what products?

Sorry to hijack, but I've got a question that I'm hoping someone will answer:
I need to clean my exhaust tip as it's caked in black. What should I use?
Wire wool and some sort of polish?
I'm not going to purchase any new shit so I'll just use whatever I have in the garage.

The wax is basically the seal, although you get specific sealers which are like wax but synthetic.
You could get the same stuff from other manufacturers for cheaper though.

So what would people recommend then?
That isn't a bad package on ebay, but I assume slightly over priced.

That looks like a pretty good package, all you'd really need if you're after a starting off kit.
You would wash, clay, polish, 2 coats of wax and red mist it, then each time after that you'd only really need to give it a good wash and red mist for about 6 months which is when they recommend to put new wax on, aka clay it and start again.

But the fine wire wool. The more abrasive stuff will leave scratches. Try some polish on a rag first.

Spray some strong degreaser on it first, (xlite muc off works well) you'll be surprised how much of the cack just dissolves.

autosol as it's cheaper than the autoglym polish and works brilliantly. used to use it on the focus tips which were always black.
