Car left outside for a while - safest way to clean?

[Birdster]

Hi all,

Car already had some water marks and I've not had a chance to tackle it, it's now covered in dirt and rain water. I'm finally back and able to have a drive and want to clean the car.

I'm thinking of using some rapid dirt shifter. Then hosing down the car so it's wet. Then a light spray of rapid dirt shifter again, rinse, then moving onto the two bucket method with shampoo.

Picture of the dirt on the car.

Just wondering if anyone has any other tips as I really don't want to grind that dirt into the car.

Snowfoam to begin with, then a thorough rinse. Two bucket wash and a decent rinse, dry and wax. No need to clay nor polish.

Snowfoam or pre-rinse, strong rinse, 2BM, dry with fluffy MF towel. Easy.
