As pointed out, you will need to do the de-tar step and perhaps consider the de-iron step also, before you start claying the car; otherwise the clay will be destroyed in tar after a panel or two.


Waffle weave drying towel (body work) and chamois (wheels) - I'd replace that, for a microfiber drying towel
Sponges - Mitts are better

These would be my choices....

Snow foam: 50Cal Ambush or Combat / Orchards Cotton Candy
Car wash: Bilt Hamber Auto Wash
Wheel cleaner: Bilt Hamber Auto Wheel / 50Cal Retaliate
De-Tar: CarPro TarX / Orchards Tar Cleanse
De-Iron: CarPro IronX / Bilt Hamber Korrosol / Orchards Iron Cleanse
Claybar: Bilt Hamber Auto Clay
Tyre dressing: Car Pro Perl

Leather care: Modern leather doesnt need conditioning due to the way its manufactured. So all you need is a good cleaner. Dr. Leather wipes or liquid cleaner are very good

Polish: Are you polishing by hand or machine?

Wax: What colour are the cars? Do you want something that is easy to apply and buff off; at the expense of perhaps durability? Do you durability or best possible shine? Budget is another factor to consider.
