I would look on www.cleanyourcar.co.uk really good website and good service

I would recommend the following as I've just done the same for my new M5:

Wash bucket with a grit guard (two if you want to be super careful one wash one rinse)
Lambs wool mitt
Super natural dodo juice shampoo
large drying towels (x3) (various brands to choose from Sonus/dodo etc..)
Valet pro bilberry wheel cleaner (plus a spray dispenser)
EZ detail brush + wheel woollies.

As for wax there are loads to choose from my personal favourite is Swissvax BOS but that's not cheap at £160 per 200ml tub or £60 for a 50ml tub, they also do great wheel brushes.

HI mate,

Ive used loads of different products over the years but since trying swissvax (basically any of their products) I wont use anything else again....I know the wax in particular is pretty expensive but if applied properly it only needs to go on the car 3 times a year max

Don't waste your time with wax... Get a glass coat like Modesta or Quartz.

She still shines like new almost two years in with only a wash and I don't have to waste a weekend to wax anymore! Glass coat is well worth it.
