Get a Meg car care gift bucket (around 25-30 squid) and it contains everything to get you going:-
Kit contents
Gold Class Liquid Car Wax 16oz
Gold Class Car Wash 16oz
Endurance High Gloss Tyre Protectant Gel 16oz
Quik Detailer 16oz
Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner 24oz
Wash Mitt
High Tech Applicator Pads x 2
15ltr Bucket with handle
Had mine for 4 months and still loads left despite a weekly ritual...gotta say that the quik detailer is fab for both claying and giving the car a quik going over after rain/dust etc.
if money is no object then take a look at polished bliss as they have some brill products (if your serious about car care) and have a number of kits on offer at the mo. I will be geting one at the end of the month as I want more shine/depth/protection before winter sets in
