Also try a hunt around for detaillers start up kits. You tend to get smaller bottles of the essentials. Basically, for starters I would get comfortable with a good wash, polish and wax. Build up from there. Get the good basic 2BM method nailed with grit guard and hand applying polish and wax. AG SRP is a good start as the fillers will help with the swirl marks. Then you can move onto different products. IMO Dodo products seem to be expensive for the amount you get, so while I sing the praises of the waxes, I would look into getting PB or Chemical Guys shampoos as you get more for your money. Leave claying until you are happy with the other basic procedures (but if you are already happy with them go for BitHambler (sp?)). Second wash mitt for wheels is a good idea too, although you can wait until your first one gets knackered and demote it, thats what I did
