After much reading of Andy's threads, and reading over on Detailing World, I have bought enough products to get me going, and did my first proper mini detail today. Worth noting that it was done by hand with no running water, just buckets and a pump action pressure washer.
Car was last washed 2 weeks ago, and this is what Dorset's country lanes have done since then:
First job was a good soaking of Citrus Pro, then rinse.
Second was a wash(2 bucket) with Sonax Gloss followed by a rinse.
Then a fresh bucket of suds and whole car gone over with G3 Clay Mitt.
Car looked like this afterwards:
Next was a good coat of SRP applied with foam pad and buffed with microfibre(improved since I last used it, no dust!)
And finally the whole car done with a coat of Sonax Xtreme Protect and Shine.
End result:
Did not have any proper wheel cleaner but SRP seemed to do well on them!
Club stickers applied
Took me about 5 hours all in and quite pleased with the results. It's not to Raccoon standards, but it is good enough for my first proper clean since my XR3 days!
Hopefully a quick pre wash, wash and coat of BSD next Thursday, will be all I need for Longleat/FCS.

. I was going to mention the tyre dressing as well just to beat Andy to it.
