I'm sure that the Adam's stuff is top notch though - just not for an average budget.
yep, a lot of us are on a tight budget. From watching the Junkman vids and the vids on the Adams forum

It appears that correctly washing your car is the most important step, so not to add anymore swirls. That said, start with 2 grit guards in home depot buckets. Two wash pads (I use Adams, one for belt line up one for bottom of car) and a good netural PH wash to not remove a bunch of wax. A couple of good micro fiber drying towels (not costco or wal mart etc) and electric leaf blower if you have one or can borrow one. Do the two bucket wash as in the vids. This will help stop damage.

You can then add clay, detail spray, all purpose cleaner, foam gun (Amazon) as your budget allows. One thing I would try to spring for is the VRT as it really makes the tires/car pop. Watch for sales and use the 'The Junkman' discount code. hope this helps some.

And thanks to the Junkman for the above list....
