New to shiny black westminster - what should my shopping be

Moving from a D2 that could happily go to the local carwash... to something I want to keep in the best condition...
As I spend most of my time away - what would you all suggest as things I should pick up to take home?

My list so far ...
a WMA1000 BT gadget and ipod cable
microfibre mits for washing - 4 of
a snow foam lance attachment for the pressure washer and some prokleen fluid

what wash n wax type stuff? Probably not going to become a detailing addict - but want to maintain shine...
Leather cleaning and conditioning kit? which? Anything good for protecting against blue jeans dye transfer?

Any essential RR accessories?

Help me max my amazon prime account!!

Best to all

R reg 300 tdi Discovery Aviemore - gone to a local enthusiast to be resurrected in Transylvania
2003 TD5 Discovery2 - now sold
and the 2 wheeled Range Rover - BMW R 1150GSA

and finally the big lady of my dreams... 2012 Westminster - gives me a smile every morning

Romania 2012 Range Rover Westminster 4.4 V8 Santorini Black

Ohh - I am going to enjoy it....
to put things in context I left a role in the Peak district national Park - driving all over the place that law abiding citizens cant! to live in Transylvania!

The drives out here over the last 15 years have been enlightening....
slow plod in a 200tdi county...
300tdi discovery ... wow such speed
TD5 Disco 2 ... ohhh feck as the irish would say...i reached 90 on the autobahn...
this time... i imagine is going to be sublime....

But even as Romania is in the EU certain things are better picked up in UK...
down to last 6 tins of corned beef so a major top of that, I travel a lot and have a none cooking wife so 24 tins baked beans, Bonios for my Romanian rescue dogs... why i introduced them to those I do not know - 7 am every morning...claws on door demanding the ritual two biscuits.. teabag stock up - I have about 2000 ...so nervy times, and a wealth of random Waitrose/Tesco finest will be loaded into the back...
So useful kit... better to get now. I will miss the car wash ... especially the one that in summer has bikini dressed girls... but want a nice shiny FFRR

So FFRR BLACK essentials suggestions are appreciated.... alreadt have BT Gap tool Series 2a LWB Hardtop - ex British Aerospace that was then used in an armed robbery! not by me!

For those of you who regard Romania as Gypsies and orphans ... it is a stunning country.
As the folks on here are a civilized bunch - I will open my offer that anyone coming this way - have a self contained guest room ensuite - that any reasonable and sociable forum member is welcome to use for a day or two if not in use. Just outside Brasov - 2.5 hours from Bucharest....
And for the adventurous - well worth a drive - loads of FFRR friendly routes... even for new shiny 405s Series 2a LWB Hardtop - ex British Aerospace that was then used in an armed robbery! not by me!

Sprinter Bottle Jack probably.
Check out the many posts on this.

If you want to keep a nice shine then try a tub of Bilt Hamber Double Speed-Wax. Amazing shine.

Also handy: Torx Screwdriver Set T10 T15 T20 T25 T27 T30

Then save up for tyres, and maintenance!

Congrats and enjoy!!

Greg Cheers, Greg
