This is a fantastic guide for someone that wants to do a better job washing their car.

http://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-Pro/how-to-properly-wash-and-dry-a-car/

The big thing is to have grit guards in your buckets and a spare wash mitt. The EZ detailer brush is awesome for keeping the exhaust tips and the inside of wheels clean. The towels recommended are key as well.

I know the correct methods for waxing/polishing include orbital buffers and all types of pads but I'm lazy and cheap so I just bought a $15 polisher from Harbor Freight and some microfiber buffer pads for the Zaino. Starting out I'll use a claybar and some swirl mark remover. After that it's a couple coats of Zaino every few months and it's looking better than 99% of the cars on the road.

Be careful with leaf blowers. The intakes are not filtered so unless you're in a relatively clean environment you could end up "sandblasting" portions of the paint.
