These are my first choice for each job, I've got loads more also (bit of a cleaning product whore!):

Wollen mitt for washing
Variety of shampoos, at the moment I'm on Megs Shampoo Plus (not bad)
Snow lance and foam for prepping wash
Microfibre towels for drying
Microfibre mitt and brush for wheels
Megs All purpose cleaner for interior cleaning, engine bay tidying, mild wheel wash, and wheel arch cleaning
Billberry wheel cleaner for intense wheel cleaning
Poorboy's wheel sealant for wheel sealing
Autoglym Aqua Wax for last minute wheel shine
Collinite 476s for wax
Klasse All In One for polish/sealant
Chemical Guy's trim gel for plastic trims, tyre walls and rubber window seals
Autogym Vinyl and Rubber care for interior dressing and engine bay rubber
Autoglym Engine and Machine Cleaner for engine degreasing and doorshuts
Foam Applicator pads to apply wax and sealant
Microfibre cloths to buff off wax and sealant, and everything else
Poorboy's Spray Gloss for a Quick Detailer
Megs Clay bar for Claying
Autoglym Glass Polish for cleaning windows
And various detailing brushes for door joints and hidden seals

I would heavily recommend all of the above for each job, apart from the clay. It's not a bad product, but I know there is better out there (I've just enver gotten round to buying any!)
