Your water doesnt need to be hot  :wink:
Plus IMO I would ditch most of the AG stuff, super resin is ok but there are some much better products around for similar money :afro:
The day you see me in a diesel is the day there is no more petrol left :D

you only essentially have three products there as A & C do the same job and E is not a product

ditch A
take cap off D and pour small amount into bucket [F]
mix D with E in F
use wash mitt [G] in F and then apply to panels on car top down a panel at a time
rinse G in rinse bucket [H] and then reapply G in F then onto next car panel
once car is washed hose off with clean E (don't use contents of F or H)
dry using waffle weave or microfibre drying towel [I]
once panels are clean and dried you can then apply C
use a clean soft cotton cloth or applicator [J] and using a small of amount C apply to car a section at a time and polish into paintwork
let dry to haze and polish off using a clean microfibre [K]
apply small amount of B with J to windows inside and out and remove using K
preferably seal with a sealant [L] and/or wax [M]
