Question STARTER KIT?

OK i've glance over the bliss site and far too much information

I'm not really into Polishing, actually hate doing it but did about every 6 weeks in summer. Previously I bought Hellfrauds stuff and used Tea towel and knickers etc

I have a new blue Scoob and want to bin all the carp I've got and start afresh, I'll just have a bucket and a Tap

What can you recommend, as a reasonable starter kit, bearing in mind I don't want to invest in a Chilian Bee Farm LOL

Keeping it very budget and arm ache free, try...

Wash

Menzerna Auto Shampoo
Meguiars Lambswool Mitt
Poorboy's Waffle Weave Drying Towel

Protect

Menzerna FMJ paint sealant (comes with applicator and buffing towel)
Poorboy's Wheel Sealant
Meguiars Foam Applicators
Poorboy's Mega Plush Towel

You could add more (tyre gel, trim dressing, etc), but you said short! If you want a bit more just shout and I'll add such products. I'm also assuming new means new and not second hand, and thus that it doesn't need polishing.

You'll only need to polish when you start to see sub-surface defects such as swirls and scratches. If you look after it and use a good wash technique and good wash products you may not have to polish it until next year. However, it will likely need claying every six months to remove tar spots and other bonded contaminants.
