New to car detailing - Supplies

    Asked this in the car detailing chat but it must have gotten lost amongst the other questions.
    Should have a snow foam lance during the week so want to get the car cleaned up.
    Have a few questions and hoping I could get an answer. Will probably order from Detailingshed.
    Looking at the following:
    50Cal Combat Neutral Snow Foam to foam the car.
    Microfiber Madness Incredimitt to wash it
    Microfiber Madness Dry Me Crazy to dry it.
    What kind of shampoo should I be using. Have 2 buckets so sorted for them.

    Collinite 845 Liquid Insulator Wax for waxing after its cleaned. What do I apply the wax with? Is it with this (Chemical Guys Black Ultra Fine Applicator)

    In relation to de-taring I was looking at CarPro TarX but its out of stock.
    For cleaning the wheels should I be using CarPro IronX. Any advice appreciated.
    For the tyres I see Wolfs Chemicals Black Out was recommended before but its out of stock.

    Anything else I should know or need?
    Obviously price is important too so may not be able to get everything together.

    Thanks

    You need to prep the surface before waxing, deiron, detar and clay.

    It's pointless putting a wax on over contamination that washing alone won't remove. The wax is really only as good as the prep

    Hi op all the guys on here are great for advice and pm Curran for specifics before you order he will look after you.

    Need to prep well as said above and remove all contamination such as tar and a good clay will leave it like you have never seen before.

    Its all time consuming but I cant stop drooling when its done.
