I've got shampoo, polish, wax, wash mitt, chamois, bucket.
What else do I need and what order do I do it in?

The wash mitt I have is a microfibre one.
I'll look for the clay on ebay, the detailer spray was in halfords.

- Hose the car over.
- get 2 buckets, full one with soapy water one with warm water, wash one panel (roof 1st) with the soapy water, then rinse sponge out in the warm water bucket, repeat this process over the whole car,
- Using the hose rinse any soap off the car
- Using a shammy leather dry the car so its uber dry.
- then using the clay mist spray one panel and rub the clay over the mist taking al the left over dirt off the panel (DO NOT RUB THE CLAY OVER DRY PANELS) repeat this process over the whole car
- then polish and wax

i have found zymol glasur glaze gives a really good finish. I used it on the corsa and for 7 yr old paint work it has come up really well.

I'm going to get a brush for the wheels as they're going to be a total arse to clean otherwise
Thanks for all the pointers guys

DONT USE A SPONGE, use a microfibre sponge or mitt, you will ruin your paint and add swirls with a sponge..
Also do not use a chamois, use a drying towel cause again you will add swirls to your paint with a chamois.
hope this helps.
