Default new to detailing what should i buy

i am looking at buying some kit to give my car a proper clean i like the look of using the snow foam stuff i have a karcher pressure washer what else do i need?

also am i right in thinking clay bar would be next? which one? also what would be a good polish for a blue wrx and black wheels polish.

i am currently using a meguiars super magnet drying towel are these ok?

you need a foam lance, to produce thick foam, that drying towel is fine, yes you need a clay bar, i use the meguiars soft clay, this site is very good for cleaning products and cheap delivery costs too. I find the bilberry wheel cleaner good.

if you need more info you should have a look at A world for detailers...

and this site is good for buying cleaning products

Meguiar's, Autoglym, Collinite, Insta Finish, Poorboy's, Dodo Juice, ValetPro, Einszett, Chemical Guys, Eurow, Lake, Kestrel, RainX - the best car care - Shinearama

To add to the above (sorry for the delay, not been on here for over a week) see this illustrated guide about a decent pair of routines to choose on blue metallic/pearlsecent finishes...
