Don't want to be spending much more than about £50

I've already got:-
dodo lime prime
5050 wax
Werkstat Prime Acrylic
Werkstat Acrylic Jett Trigger

mmmmm is this all you kit? what have you got wash wise? if the usual mitt and 2 buckets, mf cloths etc then additionally i'd say get:

P21s total auto wash (about £15)
menzerna intensive polish (small bottle think it's about £12)
a german applicator pad or 2 (couple of quid each)
megs quick clay kit (about a tenner)

Then proceed as follows:

Power wash down
spray with p21s start from highest point and work down
leave to soak for 5 mins
nice foamy soap mixture with usual 2bm wash
power rinse
pat dry
clay all surfaces
re wash with 2bm
power rinse
pat dry

Then i'd be tempted to go over with dodo lime prime or werkstatt prime
working panel by panel, polish with the menz using white side of german applicator pad working until polish has gone completely clear
wipe off residue with usual mf cloth
once finished polishing a panel go over again with dodo LP or werkstatt prime
once car finished i'd go for the werkstatt jett applying another layer a few hours later.

should see some cracking results with that little kit
