For the full effect valeters will probably give you the following procedure if using Swissol products. Zymol is just as good but don't know the product as well.
1. Hose the car down and start with the wheels first. Apply VIROSOL and leave for 5 minutes. Power wash off before it dries. THis will get all but some stubborn brake dust deposits off.
2. Wash the car using Swissol Car Bath and Swissol wash cloth (Warm water, not HOT). I use the two bucket method. One with the Car bath in and the other to rinse the cloth/mit. This way it keeps the water nice and clean throughout the wash and you don't end up rubbing dirt back in. I don't use sponges as they hold dirt.
3. Rinse off with clean water. (might consider one of those de-ionisers if you have hard water)
4. Dry with a clean dry Swissol Cloth or a large bath towel made of pure cotton. Or indeed a synthetic Chamois. Auto Glym do a good one just make sure you soak it in water over night before use.
5. Place Paint Rubber in warm water for a few minutes (Clay bar)
6. Spray Quick Finish onto the surface and pressing lightly use the paint rubber. Rubbing in the direction of air flow over the car. (Use wet fingers to feel the paintwork it should be silky smooth). Using Quick finish is convenient but expensive. You can use water with some car bath mixed in with it.
7. Apply cleaner fluid liberally with even back and forth motion. (Not Circular) over an area of 1m2.
8. Remove cleaner fluid (Don't let it Dry). The paintwork will be squeeky clean and have a polished look about it. You shouldn't leave this finish open to the elements as there is no protection.
9. The best bit. Now apply Swissol Wax.
10. I've started using something called "AUTOBAHN". It is a teflon based wax for alloy wheels. When used with VIROSOL it's so easy to keep the wheels clean.
Obviously you need to consider ways of keeping the wheels looking clean, the trim from looking drab and the interior smelling like the day you drove it out of the dealer. Swissol offer plenty of products to do this and I can advise on most of them. A swissol detailer (hate that word) gave me some great tips. I'll see if I can hunt them out for you. It provides loads of other ways to get the same effects without spending too much on Swissol/Zymol.
There are a number of wax's recommended for different cars.
ONYX. Standard wax for all colours. (30% pure Brazilian Carnauba wax)
NITRO. For Nitro paints to prevent chalking after washing.
SAMURAI. For Post 1988 Japanese Vehicles.
SAPHIR. Much higher concentration of Carnauba wax for modern water based paints. (Good for Met. Silvers)
SCUDERIA. For Italian vehicles. Alfa, Fiat, Ferrari, Maserati, Lancia etc.
356. Synthetic Resin Paints
911. Wonder what this one is for. For two component coatings on Modern Porsche vehicles.
CONCORSO (AKA "BEST of SHOW"). 48% Pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax. Shine you get with prize winning classics. This is the one I love and use as on dark colours it leaves an almost wet look finish.
MYSTERY. 55% Pure Brazilian Carnauba Wax. Never seen this one but supposed to be the best as it was developed for the founder of Swissol I think.
Any other questions I'll try to help, but I have to say once your car has been treated you will not believe how easy it is to clean afterwards.
Apply wax twice a year.
Swissol do a handbook and you can download it

Hope that gets you started.
