eagle one 20/20 glass cleaner
clay magic clay and clay lube
Leather and vinyl cleaner
Meguiars Clear coat liquid wax
Turtle wax car wash
Zymol cleaner wax
convertable top cleaner

Also bought some soft terry cloth and some yellow shammoys. I washed clayed the whole hood then put zymol on one side of the hood and Meguiars wax on the other i think the zymol did better. I need to get some tire shine tommerow but the jeep is looking better.

We all need to start somewhere with detailing products. The Zymol is a cleaner wax which cleans and waxes the surface, were as the Meguiars is just a straight wax. Did you purchase meguiars gold class wax?

I can not see the image because I do not have access to your hard drive.

FWIW
1. Has the reputation of being a good product. (Idon't happen to use it)
2. Same answer as for #1.
3. Iffy here. What did you actually buy? For me, a conditioner is probably more important then the cleaner. IMO, the leather should have a different conditioner than the vinyl.
4. This is probably Gold Class Clear Coat Wax. It wouldn't be my choice, but you can probably get decent results with it. It probably won't do much for a finish that isn't in pretty good condition to start with.
5. Again, not my choice, but I have never used what I would call a bad car wash. I think it claims to have wax in it and if you decide to use a paint sealant at a later date, you may want to get a different wash product.
6. Another one I don't use, but can give a decent look, but I don't think it lasts too long.
7. Can't help you here.
8. Micro Fiber towels are your best bet, but good 100% cotton towels work prett good, too. If the chamois is a true leather chamois, I would give it to someone. If it is The Absorber, it will work pretty good, but you have to be very careful to not use it on any dirt. The dirt doesn't lift into the chamois like it does a cloth product and it is easy to drag dirt across your paint. That causes scratches.

Now, stop buying stuff! You can get by with what you have right now. Read and then read some more. Eventually, you will decide what you want to use, then buy those products and use them. It is awfully easy to get caught up in the buying products thing.
Every day you will read about and see pictures of great results with product XYZ. Keep in mind that many products would give the same results if used correctly. Jngrbrdman had a statement that covered it pretty well. Something like "A good job is more process than product". Can't remember the exact quote.
