Looks like it has everything included, im a total noob right now but I will stick my neck out and say maybe you can just buy the clay bars and lubricant seperatly might work out more effective / cheaper.

Maybe look at

or

Also checkout some articles about how to use the clay bar effectivly :)

I prefer the clay in Megs smooth surface clay kit compared to sonus green. It's more aggressive and is best used the first time the car has been clayed or it's been neglected for a while. Love the Quik detailer spray too - smells nice and doesn't leave the oily residue that PB QD+ does.

Clay it - Polish it - then wax it

The wax seals in all your hard work lol

would this be good enough to seal it with?

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_177425_langId_-1_categoryId_165527

ive tried that before and it aint great, IMO a good wax is collonite 915, its a hard wax but lasts for ages is abit pricy tho

http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/collinite-marque-delegance-no-915.php

another good one is this

http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/collinite-super-double-coat-auto-wax-no-476s-9oz.php

to be honest i would spend a decent ammount on wax because it really is worth it!
