I'd recommend before paying out for a lance and foam, get yourself a pre wash like citrus power or advanced nuetral snow foam and apply through a spray bottle. spray the whole car and leave it to dwell for 5minutes, then rinse off with a pressure washer. I'm sure you'll get decent results.

both are good shampoos with no extra gloss or wax enhancers, wax safe ph nuetral.
supernatural is basically all natural and very mild for well protected cars
AutoGlym HD wax. a newer, nicer to use hybrid wax just that bit better than 476 with just as good durability. Also comes with applicators and MF cloth

Proper decontamination of a light coloured car is very important
