I have put this information in various areas with links that seem to have changed. I have been asked on other forums questions about detailing so put this information together.
Note that I have linked to one company mainly, whom I have no affiliation with but do buy from. As it happens he is a Motorhomer and on this site!!
The information is just bits I have put together whilst learning on the detailing forum I am a member of. It works for me and others who have tried it.
Remember that the items I have recommended are just one of many, but in the main are the products I use.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Best regards

1. Pressure wash to get most of muck off.
2. Use Gilmour and Snow Foam leave for 5 - 10 mins. Hose/pressure wash off. (Gilmour is an attachment that you put on the end of a hose which when you add 1 1/2" of snow foam, leaves a good penetrating white foam over the car)
3. Use two bucket method with Meguiars Hyper Wash and wool mitt.
(Fill one bucket with clean warm water and the other half full with warm water, in the half full bucket add one shot of Megs hyper wash. Wollen mitt is then used to wash car off, rinsing every time in the full bucket)
3A. Make sure you spend a lot of time rinsing the car with a hose after the pressure washer. You need to make sure every bit of grit is removed. This will be a painstaking job and one you have not been used to doing in the past.
4. Spray with quick detailer (QD) spray (water down 50:50) and Dry with Large Waffle Weave Microfibre Drying Towel, lightly wiping over the bodywork. (The QD spray is what will make a phenomenal difference to your car, making it shine even though you have not polished it!!)
5. Auto-clay car with the QD as lubricant as mentioned above if you think it is necessary. Not always necessary and I suggest you do not do this to start with as it is a bit of an art. It is carried out if there are impurities in the paint work. You can test this by getting one of those plastic bags used for veg in the supermarket. Wear it like a glove and run you hand over washed paintwork. If you feel and hear it catching then you need to clay the car.
7. Inside the interior none leather will be cleaned using Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner (mentioned above) and where necessary a dashboard brush. Then use Natural Look.
