    If you want it really clean the power wash isn't the best technique TBH. Good old fashioned two buckets and some elbow grease is what you want, then try claying the paint to remove all the crap washing it can't.

    I like the Mircofiber mits a bit more, but both are good. As above, wash the car with mit and bucket, the clay it.

    Detailing Clay - Elite Car Care

    Clay will lift and remove all the sh*t that's left on the paint that washing cant remove. Paint will feel like glass away wards

    Id say buy one of the smooth surface kits, as you'll get everything you need. The Megiuar's kit is good and well priced.

    Once a month, if you wash the car every week. Or after every wash if you want.

    Everything. Well rubbers and unpainted trim it wont work on. But paint work glass and wheels.
