Default Is this a good start..

This is my first time actually detailing my car.

Kinda broke, so I was on a a budget.

Meguiar's Deep Crystal Carwash
--Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner and scratch remover
--Deep Crystal Polish
Meguiars Gold Class Liquid Wax
Meguiars Hot Shine tire spray

Is this a good place to start? I couldn't find any claybar at Checkers or Napa here. I'm really starting to hate this damn island.

Totally agree with racrx. For a budget cleaning, I'd go with everything Meguiars since any decent store carries their products. You may have to shop around a little to find the NXT Tech Wax like I did, but you'll find it eventually! Don't bother layering the NXT wax as anything really after 2 will just strip away the other coats that you applied.

Autopia.com is full of detailing geeks (many of which do professional detailing for shops) who post often on what's new and current and what does the best job. Just do some searches on there.
