I used Meguiar's Carnauba Wax. First time doing it myself too.
How do you like your ILX so far? Seems to get a lot of hate here and /r/cars, but I love it
Here's my opinion
Shampoo- good choice, make sure you're using a washing mitt and not any kitchen sponge, something like http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-X3002-Microfiber-Wash-Mitt/dp/B000RXKR6M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405903374&sr=8-1&keywords=washing+mitt will be fine
Towel- while you can dry with any microfiber towel, it will be best to use one specifically made for drying so you don't have to wring out the towel after every wipe. Also, using a low quality microfiber has the possibility of scratching the paint. My recommendation would be http://www.theragcompany.com/Dry-Me-A-River-26-x-59-Premium-Microfiber-Waffle-Weave-Towel-42009-2659-OW.htm
Wax- I have no idea how much you want to spend, but if you're going to be applying it by hand you generally want to go with a carnuba wax as they are easier to apply and wipe off. My personal favorite is pinnacle souveran liquid wax. Probably out of the price range for a beginner, but it's super easy to apply/wipe off, and it produces amazing results and lasts a lot longer than other carnuba waxes. http://www.autogeek.net/pinliqsouvwa.html If you want something on the cheaper end and can be purchased in auto stores, go with Meguiar's gold class liquid wax. http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G7016-Carnauba-Premium-Liquid/dp/B0002UNOYM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1405903940&sr=8-2&keywords=gold+class+wax
Applicators- If you're applying wax, go with a foam applicator pad like these lake country applicator pads(make sure they're the red color) with this palm grip
Headlights- If you have a power drill, I recommend this http://www.amazon.com/Meguiars-G3000-Heavy-Headlight-Restoration/dp/B004HCOE72/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405904455&sr=8-1&keywords=meguiars+headlight kit as it attaches right to the drill and works very well.
If you have dish soap then you're set for your first car wash (but never use it again after doing this unless you want to strip any last step product/wax off your car).
Buy this for claying. Last longer and if you dropped it you can wash it and reuse it (if you drop your clay its over). Use proper claying technique in the wikis.
Then get this as your first step. You can skip this if you want because there are better products out there and if you began liking detailing you might not use this again but its the cheapest one out there so I'm just putting it out.
Then get a wax, most would prefer collinite 845 but I'm just giving you a cheaper option (pick liquid or paste, doesn't matter). Wax will hide most of your swirls and will give your car a wet look.No I'm not a meguires fan its just that I have more experience using these products. Also, these steps is just going to hide your swirls and some scratches - they'll never disappear unless you do the right way. They will slowly re-appear every time you wash your car.
Get yourself a quality car wash soap like megs gold class or Citrus Wash and Gloss Concentrated Car Wash and don't use dish soap or you'll remove all that wax you just put in your car.
It was Meguires Gold. It was my first time using it, I think I put it on a little too thick, it was a pain to get off. But it turned out well.
