Default car care for noob!?

I've been reading tons of posts in the "wash and wax" section but im a bit of a noob when it comes to achieving that highend deep gloss. It may be asking a bit much but can you tell me exactly what i need to buy and how to apply the diff. products (z1,z2,p21s??) aswell as how once you've got your cleaners and waxes applied do you perform an everyday quick detail.(ex)a few days after a good thorough detailing i want to just spray,wash,and dry....how do you keep it from swirling and whats used to dry it??? sorry for all the ?'s but as i said you seem to be the person to talk to. Your response will be greatly appreciated.

90% prep, 10% product

do a search for zaino application

every day quick detail, done almost every day with a QD spray

keep it from swirling - use clean MF towels during wash, during any wiping and stay away from car washes

drying - big blue gets my vote..

good questions!
1. zaino details- see the top of our main page and here is the link:
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=76007
2. p21s is very simple- wipe it on in very small sections in the direction that the way the wind blows over the car with the applicator that comes with it (i also use my pc sometimes- for that you have to take the p21s out of the container- but you dont need to do this yet). they as soon as you put it on, wipe it off with a clean microfiber towel. i like to do this process with my daughters- i wipe on; they follow behind and wipe off! (but you can do it alone)
3. i dust the car whenever it needs it- sometimes once a day sometimes every few days. after dusting, i detail spray it
always use microfiber towels for this process
4. i use big blue for drying (sometimes i use a leaf blower and sometimes i use the calif water blade- but big blue alone is fine)
5. since i use mainly microfiber products, i also wash them by themselves in a microfiber shampoo.
6. i cover the car with a soft cover- the honda cover is my fav for this car. it is covered most of the time that i am not in it.
the above will minimize swirls, but you can never be completely without them forever!
thats a quick run down... hope it helps!
