Default How do you clean your car? Drying/Wax/Polish questions

And what products do you use?

Reason I ask is that whilst I always enjoy a good detail, I'm not completely anal about my finishes, having just been browsing 'detailing world' I feel inadequate as a man.

Having got a new car I want to wash it properly, I do this:

1. Rinse car with water
2. 2 bucket method & turtle wax shampoo (Roof first, then windows, etc.)
3. Once car all washed and rinsed in sections I move onto the wheels
4. Alloy cleaner on each and scrub ect...
5. Once car has dried windows I use window cleaner and kitchen roll to get it streak free
6. Polish any bits, exhaust tips ect with muc off speed polish.
7. Tyre dressing
8. Test drive!

I am usually satisfied with this method on my saxo. One thing I clearly overlook is drying, waxing and polishing!

The thing I'm clearly missing is that I don't dry my car after washing it - can someone point me in the right direction of what to use? I've read the guide on here but want to hear from the masses!

Then polish/wax's - this is applied after the car is cleaned and dried - right?

Has anyone got any recommendations of polish/wax. Autoglym 'super resin polish' seems to be highly regarded but unsure how long that will last?

This dodo juice shit - any good? I'm getting slightly confused lol.

Cheers boys!
