And some, if not most sealants can be waxed over as well, to get an even deeper, longer lasting shine. I use car-lack 68 to polish which puts down an acrylic layer, then megs nxt wax over the top.

Dont forget you really want to clay bar it first to remove all the crap from the surface and make it nice and mooth.

I use the Meguires one £15 and its really good.......only thing is it takes bloody ages to do everything.
Its called 'Quick Clay'
I didn't actually get mine from Halfords as I hate giving those twats my money! They prob sell it tho as they seem to have most the meguires range in there.

I got mine from Wilco......might as well get it from halfords tho because even if you buy that expensive kit in your above link it will work out quite cheap on the 3 for 2 deal 
The one in your link is better deal to because you get 2 bars of clay, some cleaner wax, spray detailer and a towel where as on the quick clay kit you only get 1 bar and the detailer spray.

might get that at the end of the week aswell then...
meguiars clay kit, bucket and wash mitt lol
Gonna use the "2 bucket technique" to initially wash the car like. Im getting into all this detailing lark haha, It seemed daunting at first, just because of teh sheer amount of products on the market, all claiming to be the best cleaner. Lol

I can never be arsed to clay, unless its looking really bad, cause it can take a while!!
I tried the 2 bucket technique the other day, and i must say it does work pretty well. You do end up with one clean and one dirty bucket at the end. And i use microfibre towels to wash and dry these days, much easier than using a chamois.

i used to just leave it to dry 'au naturel' then wax it haha, so getting a chamois is my first step...
Update 25/07/09
Well, spent a good 5 hours cleaning and clay-ing my car on Saturday.
Im pretty happy with the results, should make the final cleaning ready for Tatton Park that little bit easier.
It had a degreasing, then a shampoo and conditioner, clay bar, T-Cut some scratches out, 2 layers of wax, a sealent, then another layer of wax. I did my best.. but wish I could get all the swirls out, and scratches... and bloody stone chips! Oh and the dent.....
Before
Rather dirty and neglected looking dont you think? Lol
First Coat of Wax

Thats some shine mate. Looks lovely in that colour blue
Looks great. I think may have applied a little to much wax there though. Problem with piling on lots of wax is that it doesn't do it any favours in terms of durability and can in some cases cause a strange yellow ting. Apply it thinly, wipe off...leave it for 24 hours then apply again. Should get much better results.
