Depends on how much of a perfectioninst you are.

At a minimum, if paint is in reasonable condition, do a quick "mini-detail"
- wash
- ColorX (contains cleaner +glaze/oils +wax) All-In-One as first coat
- ideally 2nd coat (NXT2 or GoldClassPlus or ColorX again)

If you want a nearly optimum result, do a longer (several hours) "full-detail"
- GoldClass wash (2-bucket method with grit-guard)
- clay (use clay kit with clay and lubricant) (use lots of lub, and no pressure)
- paintCleaner (SwirlX or stronger) to remove any minor imperfections
- optional polish/glaze/oil (DC2 or M07) to enhance wet-look depth (especially on dark cars).
- NXT paint sealant to seal-in glaze and for durable protection
- wax coat-2 NXT2 (or carnuba like #26 or DC3 or GoldClassPlus)
- weekly wash then top-up with UQW

for the two bucket method go to youtube and you will see plenty of videos on it

have you read the five step care system in the how to section. i would start there.

good luck grab a coke and just browse around in there and you will learn lots about car care.

let us know if you have any other questions, for more detailed help what condition is your car in and how perfect do you want it.
