Hose off, quick bucket and sponge with any old car shampoo then chamois leather dry. Guess I'm old fashioned

Plasterers buckets can be had from Wickes or B&Q for about a fiver..they're massive
Kent Drying microfibrer towel from Homebase for about 3-4£, buy a quick detailer it'll help get rid of the waterspouts
Kent noodle wash mittx2 one for the top half one for the bottom half
DemonShine muck-off good pre-wash soak, leave for a few minutes before washing to soften up the dirt, then rinse
I'm guessing your car has never been clay bared? Get one it'll make whatever product you use a million times better and last twice as long

Not necessarily, use a brand new sponge your first time and go gentle and in straight lines. Wash the sponge after each stroke. It's not ideal but let's face it the last owner probably did the same the whole time so what's once more realistically!

Take it for a spin after the wash to get the majority of the water off and use a microfiber tool to finish the drying of the little bits left over.
