What products in particular?
ie. Shampoo, Polish, Wax etc?
The ones that will last the longest are bulk stuff - but smallest bulk is 5L and for most people outside trade that will last them years

Shampoo wise the Dodo Juice one I have (it's green - Sour Power I think) has lasted since PVS, and is only half empty.

Well on a retail range then:
Dodo Sour Power shampoo (it's super concentrated so you literally use a capful per wash) - as Dave has said, he can vouch for how long it lasts
Polish - any polish will last a reasonable time if you maintain a car properly, as the reality is that once you have a decent LSP laid down, you only need to polish the car once a quarter or so. Autosmart Luxury Wax polish or something like Autoglym SRP
Wax - without a shadow of a doubt, Collinite 476s or 845. Couple of coats of this will last near enough a year with a decent wash routine afterwards!
If not, then as I say, splash a bit more cash to start with and invest in 5L of trade products which are all highly concentrated. You won't need to worry about buying more products for a couple of years then

I'm not sure if I even use a capful It still does a good job anyway  Cuts right through dirt and whatnot.

I find claying it makes a huge difference, it really does make the paint that much smoother. My C looked like a totally different car afterwards.
