Aye, got the 3 stage kit for around £22odd, and the clay bar for £13.

stage 1 and the clay kit is good, eveything else is pretty average.
better with Stage 1, Then Autoglym Super Resin Polish then a good wax such as Dodo Juice, Collinites or Poorboys.
Take the stage 2 and 3 back to halfords

tbh the best clean my car has seen was when i t-cutted every panel. Took about 2 weeks everday after work.
I wish i had clay bar'd it then before i re waxed and polished it  will need to t-cut it all again but i think the weather has passed it now to worry about how clean it is

Bought all 3 in a oner from ebay
Im sure anything will be better than it is now, cant wait to use the clay bar, the paint is so fucking rough with shite stuck on it, i reckon il probably ruin the bar with the amount of crap on it

you'll be fine with what you have bought, but the stuff i have mentioned is just a bit better and easier to use.
with the clay bar, just make sure you keep folding it regularly to keep it clean and make sure the paint is well lubricated with the detailling spray.
results of my method-

That looks ace
Its really to get rid of 2 years of crap, as its been off the road since then, previous owner left it in a field unused for that whole time
Il prob go over it with the jetwash once a week afterwards, this is just the major clean

for christ sake dont use a jet wash, all it will need once you have clayed it and done the stage 3 will be a very quick clean with a bucket and soap and a rinse off and a chamios and it will look as good as when you clayed it.
if you jet wash it, it will remove some of the wax and will embed dirt in to your paint that you have just pulled out with the clay bar
