Regular Weekly:
Wash Wheels with Dodo Juice Born to Be Mild
Snow Foam body with a mixture of Meguairs Hyper Wash and Bilt Hamber Auto Foam (Hyper wash is thicker, but Bilt Hamber is a better cleaning foam). So instead of 1inch of each I go for 1/2 inch of each.
Rinse
Snow Foam
2 Bucket Method - Dodo Juice Wookie with Dodo Juice Born to Be Mild
Rinsed
Open hose rinsed with DI Water
Pat Dry with Carpro BOA Drying Towel, all water traps dried with a cheap old MF
Glass Cleaned with BMW's Pure Care Glass Cleaner
Exhaust Tips cleaned with Mother Metal Polish
Wheels Dried and Tyres dressed with Carpro PERL, Tyre Pressures Checked
Wipedown with Meguiars Last Touch adding no further protection just something to get the final issues resolved.
Engine Bay Dried and dressed


Interior usually every few weeks
Leather hoovered and Cleaned with Dr Leather (and Dr Leather Dye Block as necessary)
Hoovered mats and around there
All other bits cleaned with Carpro Inside
Glass Cleaned with same glass cleaner

Full Detail:
As per above (sometimes I will remove the wheels, but having Summer and Winter sets I tend to tie this clean in with the change), but instead of drying it I go to Carpro Iron X and then Tar X, Clay it with Bilt Hamber Clay
Polish I have found my Alpine White fairly soft so a Dodo Juice Finishing Fin Pad with Carpro Reflect tends to sort most of the issues.
Previously the protection product was Sonax NPT, but I treated it to Zymol Vintage (Full Fat Size Version not the Holiday Sampler) for Summer.
Glass cleaned and sealant Gtechniq G5
Exhausts Cleaned and protected with Bilt Hamber Auto Balm
Trim Dressed Carpro PERL
Engine Bay Cleaned and Dressed
Interior as per the above pretty much
