2 bucket method is used to keep your cleaning cloth, preferably wash mitt and never a sponge, clean. You keep one bucket full of clean water and shampoo, use this to wipe the car, then rinse your cloth in the second bucket so any dirt etc stays in that water. Once cloth is clean then you take clean water again and wipe car and repeat.
Clay is brilliant, simply is brilliant. You wipe it over the car after washing, keep it well lubricated with some instant detailer spray and plenty of water. Removes all the surface contaminants and leaves the paint very smooth. The first time you use it you will be amazed.
After that your car is clean and ready for polishing. There are many stages depending on how much time and effort you want to put in. If you don't want loads of work a couple of coats of Autoglym Super Resin will fill any blemishes and add a bit of shine, follow this by a good wax to seal and protect the finish. There are MANY MANY waxes available, Collinite 476 is a very reasonably priced product and last really well. You still then need to do windows/tyres etc but you can then experiment with other products on the paint as time goes on.
As regards a black car, something like Poorboys Blackhole is hard to beat instead of using the Autoglym product noted above.
