Ok here we go.
During my ownership of a Black Ford RS2000 ( nightmare to get polished / waxed right) I have successfully used the below products. Over 2 years of use I must have saved me so much time once when displaying the car at shows. I have invested teh cash in these products and these are used on all cars now. I was a user of Autoglym but I only used the engine cleaner and Pastic/Rubber care.
Got your Credit Card ready.
Wash the car with Swissvax Car bath or Meguiars (use Megs as the weekly wash for the everydays cars)
Level paint with Meguiars Quik Clay detailing system
Prep the paint work for waxing with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Apply with Microfibre cloth
Apply Swissvax Onyx Wax, leave for 15 minutes, Polish off with Microfibre cloth (best finish is achived on a nice sunny warm day)
----------------
After a wash, dry the car with a Microfibre based towel or Meg's Water Magnet Drying towel.
Top up the wax finish with a Meguiars Quik Detailing Spray or the Swissvax Product.
Wheel cleaning : Meg's Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner (I trying the Swissvax product)
Tyres : Swissvax Peu
Glass : Crystal (so good I have a second bottle for the house)
Metal Cleaner : got 3, best one still is Autosol.
I get most of my products from these two suppliers

here is the finish, 90% of the car is still in its factory paint. The picture of the car with "RS Car shows" watermark was taken after a 20 minute clean up from the drive down from Kent to Rallyday. If you use the above products I have found over the last 2 years I only really have to completly wax each of our 3 cars once a year.
