Buying washing products for new car

[FireBIade]

For my Cosmic CTR I thought i'd splash out on some half decent cleaning products. Been reading about Meguiar's stuff and think most people are saying it's pretty much the best stuff at the moment. So here's the plan

Wash Car With
Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo & Conditioner 473ml
&
Meguiars Super Thick Microfibre Wash Mitt

Dry Car After Wash With
Meguiars Supreme Shine Microfibre Cloth

Remove debris attached to paintwork with
Meguiar's Quik Clay Detailing System

This raises some questions about claybar's. Should they be used after each wash i.e. weekly or is that too frequently? Should they be used only on the problem areas or are safe for all over the car?

Wax & Polish with
Meguiar's Quik Wax

Is this putting all of the above effort to waste? Should i go for a longer polish then wax system?

Comments please

Ahh I see , never used a claybar before so I take it they are 1 shot only then throw away. Or as i have read some people use a part of the whole bar and store the other part for later use sealed in clling film or something similar..

Thanks for the input guys, think i will leave Claybar'ing until it's much more dirty than it is now, probably in a few months time.

In the end I went for:

NXT Car Wash
NXT Tech Wax
Luxurious Lambs Wool Wash Mitt
Water Magnet Drying Towel
&
Gold Class Bug and Tar Remover

Think that should cover the regular washes, the NXT stuff is expensive but it may cover some of the marks as it has some filling properties. The wool mitt is pretty much essential as sponges just scratch and make more marks in the clearcoat. The drying towel should also prevent scratches and dry the car quickly. The bug remover is I think also fairly essential as the CTR eats bugs daily.
