Help with detailing products!

I need a little advice.... as I want to use the BEST products available.

Recently purchased a Jerez Black M3 sedan, and I have a few questions on detailing.

Is the Chemical Guys citrus wash too harsh for a once or twice a week wash? Will it strip off Zymol Concourse wax?

What is the best clay bar? Since it is a new car (854 miles) I want a very mild or non aggressive clay.

I plan on using the Adams detail spray as a clay lubricant. Is that stuff really as good as they say it is?

I have already purchased Zymol HD cleans as a cleaner/polish... have used it many times before and like the result.

I have used Zymol Carbon in the past, but upgraded that to the Zymol Concourse as mentioned before. I hope that it does not disappoint. My local auto supply store sold me the jar for $145, less than I had seen it anywhere else. I understand the concourse wax needs to be applied with your bare hands.... will need to do that when no one is watching! as the family will think I had really lost my mind.

Last, if anyone could recommend a good tire black that will not spin off the tires all over the care. Any other suggestions would bel welcome.

THANKS!

although i have never used it i have heard that blackfire long lasting tire gel i heard it is excellent. However I am currently using meguires gold class (purple liquid) and it provides a very good shine but does give an ok amount or sling but it really doesnt show unless you look closely because my car is jet black.

Thanks Dillon. I will give that stuff a try. Anyone have thoughts one way or the other on a good clay product?
