Finally getting into cleaning my car now so looking to pick up some proper stuff to clean it with.

How good are pressure washers? I have a hose that does the job okay would one be worth getting?

I've seen people clean there car with some sort of white foam-y stuff and it comes out looking the mutts nuts, how much and where?

I need everything, only thing I've got is a bucket :D Real N00b so you'll have to explain everything I need and what to do with it.

Doesn't need to be the best stuff btw as I'm a student and the car tends to get dirty pretty easily on the way to uni and back everyday so no point spending shedloads for me to ruin it all done some country lane everyday.

The basics:

Bucket + grit guard
Lambswool wash mitt
Decent drying towels (Sonus would be my choice, get more than 1)
Decent Shampoo (I like Chemical Guys Bodywash and Wax)
A hose pipe

Two bucket method. One with shampoo & one with clean water. Dip your washmitt in the shampoo bucket scrubs car. Then dip washmitt in clean water to remove dirt. Then dip back in shampoo bucket and wash car. /repeat
