Total Novice needs advice

Hi Big Guy (that sounded whoreish :rofl

Welcome to the forum

If I were a beginner just starting out my detailing kit would look something along the lines of this :

2 x 30-40ltr buckets
Proper wash mitt
Waffle weave drying towel
Good quality car shampoo (the Chemical guys stuff Don stocks is really nice)
Sonax Xtreme rim cleaner
Tyre and rim brushes (Mothers brushes are solid - Don again)
Meguiars endurance tyre gel (the best - period ! IMHO)
Autoglym Super Resin Polish (perfect for hand jobs - there's that whoreish again )
Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection
Some CG's microfibers for polishing and buffing the sealant (Don again )
Autoglym Fast glass or Sonax glass cleaner for the windows

Thats pretty much it and I think you could be all set for around R1200 or so give or take
