For the wash:
Zaino soap
11 micro fiber towels (one for each body panel)
Two buckets with grit guards (one bucket for soap, one for rising)
Eight large waffle weave towels for drying

Polishing Prep:
Wolfgang Clay Bar & Clay Bar Lubricant

Polishing:
Menzerna Power Gloss Compound applied and removed with Flex Rotary Polisher and Lake County pads

Paint Protection:
Two layers of Zaino Z-2 Pro applied by hand and removed with the Flex polisher
One layer of Swissvax Blau-Weiss wax applied by finger tip and removed with micro fiber towels
Mother's Back to Black trim cleaner and protector

Interior:
Einszett Plastic & Vinyl Cleaner
Wurth Rubber Car Gel Stick
Various brushes and q-tips to clean in all the cracks

Wheels:
I actually remove each wheel to clean and seal them properly. But I only do that about twice a year. Usually a good wheel brush is enough to clean them properly.

Wurth Clean-Solve applied with wheel brush and badger hair brushes around the lugs and removed with steam.
Collinite Metal Wax applied and removed with the Flex polisher

That's about it. Like I said before, it takes about two days to do it right. But it's really worth it in the end. If you follow my method, be prepared to be very sore for a few days.
