thats the kit, will set you up. use as directed. use plenty of lube (  ) and use straight movements.
if you want to stick with autoglym get some extra gloss protection while your down there. thinks its 3 for 2 on autoglym at the mo, so pick yourself up some towels and whatever else takes your fancy

super resin is slightly abrasive so use lightly.
then use the sealent- extra gloss in nice thin layers
then wax if you really want to. arden blue will come up a treat anyway so wouldnt bother for a first time

Stages i go through
-Hose the car down to get rid of any loose grit/dirt
-Use Autoglym Bodywork shampoo and conditioner for the body and wheels in hot water (less bubbles the better)
- Hose car down
- Go over it with a squeegee thing to get lots of water off
- Use a chammy to get the remaining small spots of water off
- Make sure car is dry
- Megs paint cleaner (stage 1)
- Megs polish (stage 2)
- Megs carnauba wax (stage 3)
- Polish Wheels
- Autoglym Fast Glass On windows
- Autoglym Bumper care on any black plastics
If you want to clay bar the car, don't dry it fully after washing it for the first time, just go over with the squeegee quickly. Then apply it with the detailer spray, then wash and dry then onto meg's 3 stage.
Also use a wash mitt

leave it damp but not overly wet, just wet to the touch and spray the quick detailer on whilst using the clay
