I've just washed, clayed and intensive tared, i gave that a blast with the pressure washer to get it all off.
Next i'll use some super resin polish I think as there as quite a lot of swirls, meguiars gold class normal car polish on my windows, coat of nxt wax and that'll be it.

Oh and refrain from using words such as detailing, also don't use camera's and special lighting, and don't threaten to take it back if you find the tiniest imperfection

If im doing a 'major' clean this is what I tend to do
Hose down with clean water
wash with turtle wax shampoo
Hose down again with clean water
Try off with a drying blade and mircro fiber drying towel
Clay the bodywork using a meguiars clay bar
autoglym tar remover where needed
autoglym super resin polish
meguiars tech wax
dress the plastics and tyres
gets mine looking pretty spanking 
whats all this two bucket stuff all about?

a) This is England...
b) You're gonna have to drive there, therefore all your nancying about will be lost form the crap from our roads
IF I lived in California or summat then I'd probably pay a lot more attention to cleaning, but I don't... i live in rainy old England and drive 70 miels a day just to work and back, theres simply no point... and thats the case for 99% of people
