Need advice and how the hell do you snow foam?

[stonex]

Right, I currently have a car that I hate so only been washing it in this method:

Rinse with water - pour out of bucket or watering can with the springler thing on the end. Go over if with a cloth to get dirt off etc. Then clay, and rinse the car the same as I did before. Apply autoglym resin polish and use a fast wax as really cba as hate the car. I do have a tin of this tho but I find that when you put it on you literally have to take it ff straight away because if it drys your stuffed. I would then use fast wax on the top of that but obviously I now just use the fast wax. This offers no protection but I'm not motivated with the crap heap.


Any way, hopefully within the next month or so I will have a new car .

I am aware of the two bucket method, but what shampoo should I get?
What products do you need to snow foam and how do you do it?
After washing I clay then rinse, is that right?
Anyone recommend me a good polish and also a wax?
What can I apply after wax for that little extra shine?

I'm a bit of a newbie at 'detailing' so sorry about the list of questions .

Cheers, can you recommend one? I had a look and its literally a bottle with a nozzle but do you need to connect it to anything else like a hose or pressure washer?

Cheers
