I use the following process/products for washing once a week and do a full-on hardcore detail every 4-5 months.
Washing:
Just a normal garden hose, two bucket method with Mint Microfibre Wash Mitt
and Duragloss Wash Concentrate.
Dry using Mint Microfibre Waffle Weave XL Drying Towel and protect with a quick spray and wipe with Duragloss Aquawax
Wheels - Autobrite Wheel Brite Gel. This shit rocks - dilute and 5 to 1 with water, super quick, economical and works like a charm. Brush with Speciality Brands Daytona Wheel Brush - easily the best wheel brush I've used.
Tyres - Duragloss Tyre Dressing.
Detail:
Mint Grey Clay bar and Magic Lube
Duragloss Polish Bonding Agent
Duragloss Total Performance Polish
Mint Foam Applicator Pads
Lots of microfibre cloths.
