Your probably best going to a detailing forum like detailingworld for answers to this. I'm been on there for years with some top advise from other members.

As for your question.
Snow Foam - Megs Avalanche
Wash - Megs gold class
Wheels - Bilberry wheel cleaner / ironX
Decontam - TarX and IronX
Polish - Sonax / autoglym SRP
Sealant - I use DODO wax, easy to apply and get around 3-4 months decent protection out of it. Or Carlack sealant kit.
Tyre gel - Megs
Plastics and trim - Aerospace 303

If your looking for somewhere to buy products i'd recommend clearyourcar.co.uk - always had good service and returning members earn points that can be redeemed on next purchases.

As mentioned above, lots of advice on Detailing World (be warned, it might become addictive & expensive)
Shouldn't have to decontaminate every time but if you do, it would be before the wash/shampoo stage.
One product which always get good reviews is Sonax BSD. Apply it after you have washed and dried car.

Yes, apply BSD last. It's effectively a quick detail spray. It will give nice "beading" effect next time it rains and seems to make it harder for the dirt to stick to the car. No need to polish & wax that often, I usually just wash dry and BSD. You can get it online from Euro Car Parts, they always have some sort of discount code
