Try searching and you will find some really good info. I think it was Kaval or Aitch that posted some good info.

I followed these instructions with the same products mentioned and it WORKED like a charm for 2 cars so far.

No need for a pressure washer, a garden hose is good enough... or atleast it was for me.

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant and basically spray all the plastics, let it sit for 5 mins, then pressure wash it off and dry it with a towel. finish looks great for ever!
