Detailing kit from JKP
Finally got round to using the detailing products which JKP sent me before Christmas and the stuff is amazing. The Poor Boys product is easy to use and is so much better than the normal stuff you buy in Hlfords, doesn't seem to leave any residue behind either and has a natural look.
Not normally into anything more than a quick wash and vacuum, but you can really see the difference with these products.

There's some blue stuff, red stuff, cream stuff, grey stuff and green stuff
Basically I got:
Interior Cleaner (fantastic stuff and smells nice, gives matt finish with no silicon)
Clay Bar (never used one before but it works really well although it is odd to wipe your car with clay)
Lime Pre Clean
Paint Sealant
Some Red Canuba Wax
Wheel sealant (should have used it when I got the car )
Micro fibre towels (reusable as SWMBO can put them in washing machine)
Sponge Applicators (machine washable)
Well worth PM'ing JKP as he gives a good disount. He also would be able able to tell you what the best stuff.

I didn't pay for them as such as he very kindly sent them to me for doing him a favour.
I know he is pretty generous with his discounts as I have bought stuff before, so I would PM him. It really is professional grade kit as well.

I'm waiting for him to get back to me for some interior goodies.If in doubt............flat out.

Thanks CW
Like you say, the first time you use a clay bar it goes against everything you think about, what should and should not be rubbed on the car, but it's fanatstic stuff
I'm going to be putting together some basic kits over the next week or so. Just waiting on stock coming in, as I dont want to advertise something that I dont have in stock yet.

Quick question, are you meant to use the paint sealer before you put the red wax on or do you wax and then paint seal
