I found the clay bars all pushed below the bottom shelf when i got mine...

Autoglym, is chalk based, not very nice polish IMO, I have used many polishes/Waxes over the years and I have found one that I do like at that is Meguirs TechWax paste, goes on with ease and comes off with ease no chalky residue.
As for clay bars well these can seriously damage your paintwork as mentioned, I recommend a professional detailer to actually machine polish your paint work with either a diluted amount of G3 or some of the professional polish products around.
