Chemicals guys Jetseal 109 > Thin coat of Collinite 746s Wax > Chemicals Speed Wide Detailing spray. This combo makes it look so wet

I used to use this combo but found that the jet seal left white polish in the stone chips and stuff so now I just use the collinite 746 and Sonax brilliant shine detailer and my car looks very wet a few pictures in my car thread in members rides

Give it a proper going over when you get it home, be wary that products with fillers may have been used before or at the dealer, so stripping the paint would be beneficial to access!
+1 for jet seal I've used it on a number of cars now after a proper detail and polish and it is amazing, so easy to use and it's been improved since I bought mine! (If you can track down my build thread it shows the results)
I'm interested in using collinate or this http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/sealants/finishkare-1000p-hi-temp-sealant/prod_589.html seems to be a similar wax in terms of characteristics
Congratulations on the new purchase look forward to seeing it!

Thanks for all of your advice,
Well i picked up the car on Saturday and spent yesterday (once it had cooled down) giving it a nice clean
Started with a wash (2BM) and then clayed the whole car, washed it again to get rid of any left over clay etc and put some billberry wheel cleaner on the alloys, towel dried it off and then i used Dodo Juice Lime and prime to give myself a nice base to work on
Then i used Chemical Guys Glossworkz Glaze and sealed it with Chemical Guys Jet Seal 109 and it came out really well, there are hardly any marks on the car so quite pleased. Oh and on the exhaust tips i just used some AutoGlym Metal Polish, but it still needs a proper going over
One thing i did notice is that the colour which i thought was the same as my Mum's ED30 isnt the same, the steel grey on my car is lighter as i parked them next to each other this morning when i popped round - are there 2 greys or is the ED30 one not Steel Grey ?
Please see a couple of pics i took (albeit with my phone) after the cleaning yesterday

Looks like yu have done a decent job mate. And yeah there is few types of Grey. Carbon Steal, United Grey and some others i think.

On grey the swirls will not be visible by walking round the car, but in petrol station you'll notice loads.
My cars also steel grey and I use autofiness's full range, also have some kleenfreaks stuff.
