rinse with a hosepipe to get the loose dirt off
wash with a wash mitt and tripplewax car shampoo
rinse with the hose to get the suds off
dry with an auto glym chamois leather
auto glym super resin polish
my mates turtle wax that he left at mine once and still hasnt asked for it back 
Obviously thats on a 2 yr old car, if you have a corsa thats a few years old you might want to rub some t-cut on it or summat, I never used to polish my corsa though and ive never had to do the saxo or the punto so im not well up on T-Cut

On a Major clean this is what I would do and use.
-Rinse with hose.
-Cover in Snowfoam
-Rinse
-Wash with Chemical Guys Maxi Suds
-Dry with WW towel and Clearkote QD Spray.
-Clay With Bilt Hamber Clay.
-Quick wash and dry again.
-Polish With ClearKote Vanilla Moose Glaze.
-AutoGlym HD Wax/Collinite/Dodo/Nattys wax.
Obviously wouldn't do this everytime.

Its very abrasive, why every 2 months though? Should use it once and wax it and not have to do it again.

We had one of them round here but it got a load of complaints so they blanked out the 'job' so it's now 'the best hand in town'  Some people really do have too much time on their hands complaining about stuff like that 
Regading cleaning my car
Rinse
Wash with Auto Glym Bodywork Conditioner
Rinse
Dry with either a chamois or a megs drying towel, whichever I find first
Clay bar, if there's one about anywhere 
Auto Glym SRP
Megs NXT Tech Wax
All that has only actually been done once in the 2 1/2 years I've had my car, I usually stop after I've dried it, although tonight I only got to the second rinse, hopefully give it a couple of coats of SRP tomorrow, then a few more when I get time. Mine really needs some TLC to get it ready for PVS
