Having always been an Autoglym fan I finally bought one of those Meguiars Quik Clay detailing kits to try at the weekend, and I'm pretty impressed with the results! The amount of stuff it took off even when I thought the car was "clean" 
I'm a rubbish photographer but here's a few pics I took while out and about today...
Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner
Meguiars Quik Clay detailing system
Autoglym Super Resin Polish
Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection
and the rest in my Garage.

Yep I use it, good stuff.. I find spraying onto cloth then bodywork better as you don't get overspray but brings it up nicely.

That's Quick Detailer. Only works if you have got a good base of quality wax on the car first.

Meguiars do also make a product called "Spray wax" (i have some), but i agree edd it does sound more like the detailer from that description.

i've spent nearly 20hrs cleaning the corrado over the last few days
washed a couple of times
clay barred
Polished
Waxed twice
 man i ached, clay bar was good tho, can feel it taking off the gritty/grainy feeling on paintwork, also i had some overspray on ebay from someone spraying near it, its taken all that off too

Cheers guys
3CM, 20 hours!
I spent nearly 10 doing mine, outside and interior.
Front bumper, bonnet and side skirts were worst bits on my paint.

CLAY BAR CLAY BAR CLAY BAR CLAY BAR
Use Zymol car shampoo first and then finish with their wax. Hard work but so worth it.

£80! My Quik Clay was £11, that'll do me for now
Thanks for the Zymol suggestion SVM
Maybe once my Autoglym stuff runs out I'll try a few different brands to compair them. I am pretty happy with Autoglym tho.

Zymol's shampoo is incredible stuff Dav. It's the best one i've ever used. Even when diluted as instructed It sticks to the car like nothing i've ever tried before and almost lubricates the washing process rather than running straight off, so it's realy easy to wash with and keeps the sponge/cloth/mitt form snagging and stopping on the paintwork.

Only if you buy a large pot of their Royale wax.
The stuff you can get in Halfords is about 12 quid, but you'd think it had cost more once you've used it.
