i wouldn't bin any of it, you can always use up stuff like the turtlewax platinum wax on the wheels

with the things to keep what else do i use/buy with them to get a better finish. As for the things to bin i can always use them on my escort which i don't really care about

As above, use up the old gear on other cars or parts like wheels, etc, where absolute looks aren't as important. For the bodywork, in my opinion the best option would be to treat yourself to a Werkstat Acrylic Kit, as nothing else is capable of matching it on light metallic finishes. Here are some example pics to tempt you plus more information on why these products work so well...

Whats the werkstat kit like to use? easy enough?

Aye, the Werkstat line is dead easy to use; I can't comment on the Dodo as it's not a range we have ever worked with.
