Yeah, polishing is the better stage for waxing but just washing it in fairy and drying throughly then waxing the panels can help with the next clean...just jet washes the dirt off
I use Simoniz Diamond hard wax outside and anti-bac spray with pledge for interior
Spray aerosol glass and mirror cleaner (that burns your nostrils) and foam upholstery cleaner
All told around £10 for the lot and loads of time and care applying it
I would definitely use steam cleaning rather than jet washing the engine bay...call me a pussy but that seems risky forcing water around the engine, and aerosol degreaser for dirty metal parts. Silicon spray for the rubber and plastic bits looks nice too
I hope you're joking about using Fairy? It's just about the worst thing you could possibly use to wash the car.
