£50'ish will get you started. My basic kit consists of the following:

Tesco microfibre noodle wash mitt - £3

Plastic bucket - £5

Wolf's White Satin shampoo - £10.50 (1 lt - enough for 40 washes)

PB drying towel - £11

Werkstat Acrylic Jett - £17 (500 ml - about a year's worth)

Poorboy's deluxe mega towel x2 £10 or, even better 2 of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kent-Q6750-M...=kent+car+care (you can find much cheaper towels, but these are really plush, especially the Kent ones at £4 each)

Chemicals and towels from Polished Bliss: http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/

If your paintwork doesn't feel completely smooth after washing, I'd recommend a deep clean with Werkstat Prime Strong (£24) and if doesn't feel super slick after that it'll need claying - easier than it sounds.

Speak to Rich at PB - he's very helpful and might suggest a different sealant, dependant on the colour of your car and the paintwork condition. Tell him that Jon with the silver/gold 6 series convertible sent you - you never know, I might get a slight discount on my next visit .

Hope that helps.
