Just purchased this kit. I only wanted a clay bar but this is all they had, maybe better 
Basically, I know a lot of you have done it, where do I go from here?

Yes I avoided this kit at all cost....fecking £24 wernt it 
If you are to use it, wash car dry, then clay using detailer then afterwards go over with the paint cleaner to remove any imperfections.
Then glaze with polish such as gold glass or tech wax, let it cure......got have a wank for 20 mins or so. Buff off then seal with a wax.
Will look

Very expensive kit, but the majority of halfords dont sell the normal clay bar kit (clay + detailer) any more.

So is the wax in the box totally pointless
I thought...
1)Wash Car
2) Dry Car
3) Clay bar with Quick Detailer
4) Wax
Is that right? But I don't use the wax in the box, i have to buy more?

The clay bar is brilliant, totally the weirdest thing to use in the world but brilliant. It does amazing things to your car and is well work the effort
The more quick detailer lube you use the better the finish

I didnt get any wax in my kit, just the clay and detailer. I three staged it afterwards and now the paint is as smooth as a babys bum bum! Just a pain to get the car cover back on now as it just slides off
