Default Detailing kit,what do I need?

Just bought a performance blue Frs and I need to get a polish kit to look after it,I need everything,polish,wheel sealer/cleaner,cloths,wash etc.
I have a powerwasher with a pipe to dip into a soap bottle,I have seen folk using snow foam,is that the stuff to get?
Advice please on what's good?I don't like auto glym products,I don't get good results with them.thanks!

No probs mate...You need the tackle to wash your car with non/minimal swirl marks...So you will need a a foam lance and snow foam..Then use the 2 bucket method to wash the car...And a nice drying towel...use the clay bar...Then run it over with some lime prime and the a decent wax after that mate.

If you want me to Pm you my number feel free to buzz me tomorrow and ill talk ya through anything your un-sure of mate.
