Please don't ruin it by painting it matt grey.

would never even consider it, love the storm grey colour why i drove all way to London to get this, would never dream of re painting it! body work is to good!

Thank god for that 

i might be young if people class 20 as young which they probbably do, but i aint stupid 

anyone know much bout detailing want some basic stuff to give it a good clean, and shine which will last 2 weeks max!

In the past 6 months that car's had

1.Claybar,
2.Meguires Deep crystal polish 2 coats
3.Meguires Paint Cleaner
4.Poor Boys Black Hole Glaze
5.Meguires Carnuba 2 coats
6. Megs Nxt wax


so it should shine up pretty well after just a wash

yh it did due after i got it home but even after what you explained i could feel small particles on the body work and when looking really close i could see them, recommend any routine or/and products to keep it gleaming which can be topped up every 2 weeks, bought car cover for it tomorrow, as it being sat on drive it picks up stupid amount of dirt!

If you can feel tiny spots on the bodywork, another claying session would be worth doing. It'll get rid of most of the rubbish that won't come off with washing. Including embedded bugs and the like. But if you clay you'll strip all the wax, polish and other products that are on the paintwork so you'd need to reapply polish and wax etc.

so whats the best starter products would you say from shampoo to wax and ect, as to be honest i know nothing about detailing!

You're better off grabbing the attention of the detailing gurus in the detailing section:

Plenty of threads in the that should answer any questions you have. For claying, I personally use Megs Clay Bar set, Autoglym Shampoo, Megs Polish and Collinite 915 Wax, however there are plenty of better products out there. Have a look and make sure you set yourself a budget.

Oh yes...budget indeed as some of that detailing shizzle will need a re-mortgage to fund.
