A list please.....

Ive been searching round abit to find out the best way to wash and protect my car and i think ive got the right idea.

Im looking to get some products to do a decent job but really have no idea on what brands, types e.t.c to go for.

If someone could make a small "shopping" list of what i need that would be great! I dont know if the paint is an issue but just incase its renault's "capusium red"


thanks

will i need any other cloths/towels/appliers apart from the mitts?

also what does the clay actually do and would i want ultra fine or normal clay?

cheers

Fine or normal will be ok, just avoid the aggressive ones.

I use the yellow foam applicators to apply stuff, you will also need some decent Microfiber cloths to remove products, ideally a couple for each product being used in the process.
