Personally, a good rinse with the hose followed by a shampoo using the two bucket method and a lambswool mitt is the way to go. Dry using a good quality waffle weave microfibre cloth followed by a coat or two of Autoglym Super Resin Polish.

I could go into detail about clay, sealants and waxes, but it's probably been covered elsewhere!
Amen to that, a man after my own heart. These cars deserve a sound detailing regime. Anybody washing with a sponge or dare I say it, a brush deserves twenty lashes and a sound talking to IMO.
