Depending on the cars paint condition will govern if it needs a machine polish, swirl marks and scratches are a real pain if not impossible to remove by hand.
Wash - Sonax Gloss Shampoo
Dry - Sonus Drying Towel
Clay - Meguiars Quik Clay
Machine Polish - Menzerna Final Finish, Menzerna Intensive...
My current choice is JEFFS Werkstatt Acrylic Jett Trigger
Looks great, is meant to last as long as Klasse and Autoglym sealants ( 3 plus months possible) can be layered instantly without any cure time, is wipe on and wipe of so as easy as a quick detail spray.
Some pics of it used HERE...
Depending on the grime AG engine and Machine Cleaner may not touch it. If that is still leaving behind some stubborn marks I would try some AG Tar and Adhesive Remover and some bodywork clay on them next. If that is till not working you will have no choice but to use an acid based wheel cleaner...
Cheap cover will do more harm than good, would only consider it if you your thinking of getting a proper fitted one, which are not cheap. Cheap covers blow around in the wind and don't breath properly. Ok for the occasional use but would not risk one long term.
As Oms says, the car needs to be...
Let us know what price they quote if you would.

I have used Quick and Easy Wash and Optimun No Rinse. Both only need a small amount of water in a bucket and no rinse and work well and safely for me. Both of the above are well tested here in the states so I think I will stick to them tbh.
Reading through that link not...

I can wash the car lots quicker with this.
Drunken ebay buy! - Could not resist at the price of a pot of Souveran.
Did'nt get on well doing that so warmed it up with the old fingers and spread it around with the trusty old foam applicator. Used the same amount as I did when I used the Carbon.
Got a bonus at work today so going to treat...
Not a fan here. Does not seem to correct paint as well as SRP - just tends to fill and hide defects. I dont find it as easy on or off either. SRP does not dust if you use the correct amount, to much and too thickly and you get dust.
As a one step product UDS stands up ok, tested it foe a while...
