Dont T Cut the whole car unless its really faded and shit.
Use proper shampoo, not fairy liquid or whatever - chamois dry then polish it up with some auto glym super resin (red one i think) Will be uber clean then.
Dont believe you dont know how to wash a car

Get alloy wheel cleaner for wheels, and use a seperate brush - not the sponge you do the car with. Polish on with a soft cloth, and then use a fresh one to wax off, keep brushing the wax off it and turning it to keep it clean. Back to black all those bumpers too as they will go slightly faded when you shampoo them and if you splash any polish on them...

what i do, go over with just the water to get all the big lumps of mud and crap off, then shampoo and rub with spunge, rinse off then use the auto dry on the flash system, works like a dream, then let it dry and give it a polish every now and then
