2 buckets, lambswool / cotton washmit
Slick and Suds / Citrus wash and gloss shampoo
Megs Claybar / detailing spray
Now your car will be clean. From here you need to decide if you're polishing by hand or machine. By hand autoglym super resin polish is ok. Finish off with a wax Nattys paste / Collinite or similar. By machine you have far more options
Personally on a WR blue car i wash as above then Megs # 82 or Menz FP 2, then CG final polish, CG wet like glass, and Nattys blue. Bob

Aye, on yellow I favour the Jeffs Werkstatt Carnauba system over other products in our store. This system really seems to deepen the colour and leave a lovely wet looking gloss. Link here...
