Default Detailing white car

Hi, I fancy getting some good polish/wax and maybe a snow foam attachment for my karcher pressure washer, any reccomendations on what to get?

Car is freshly painted white if that makes any odds, I hear poorboys is good?

I'm completely clueless as to what I need and whats good, I usually use meguiars...

Whats good for bringing up black plastic like mirror surrounds/door handles?

Dont want to spend hundreds, and dont want it to be concourse! just very shiny with a nice deep finnish


Thanks.

Steven, looks like some good kit you got I didnt think i'd need to clay it as the paint is just fresh, but it's been sitting in my work for the past 9months and im quite shocked at how much crap is on it, so it deffo needs a claying now before I do anything else

cheers
